coder2000 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I have installed JK2 on my win2k machine and it will not run. It just loads and constantly takes up all my available resources. I can play it in safe mode but regular I can't. I think it may have something to do with the resolution I set it runs at that resolution so there should be nothing preventing it from opening. Has anyone else experienced this? If so how can I fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 It runs on my 3 Win2000 boxes (P3 800MHz 768MB, Celeron 1.8GHz 512MB, and P4 2.4GHz 1024MB) just fine. You said it "takes up all my available resources". What are your computer's specifications: CPU, RAM, and videocard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coder2000 Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.667 GHz) 512 MB DDR ATI Radeon 7000 64MB It just uses all my processor and jumps around my task list. It is really odd. Academy runs fine but outcast won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Running JK2 DOES hog all your resources normally. CPU activity goes up to near 100% on my 2.4GHz P4 as soon as the game starts loading, much less playing. Of course, I am assuming you have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from your videocard's manufacturer's website. Don't know if you are talking about Single Player (SP) or Multiplayer (MP), but in either case, launch the game in Safe Mode and try the following: 1. Open the console (shift ~) and type /set com_HunkMegs 128 or 256, then exit and restart the game. Try 128 first. This will allow the game to use more memory. 2. Go to Setup, Sound. Set Sound Quality: Low and EAX: Off. 3. Go to Setup, Video. Set Video Quality: Fastest. 4. Go to Setup, More Video. Set Video Sync: On, Dynamic Lights: Off, Wall Marks: Off, Anisotropic Filter: Off. If you are able to get the game running in Normal Mode, then start adjusting these settings one at a time and verifying that the game still runs. For instance, if it runs at 640x480, try increasing to 800x600. If it still works, try enabling Dynamic Lights, etc. See which settings cause the most trouble and which you can live with at the lowest settings.
