My old laptop died last year and I switched a newer one with a Core 2 duo, ATi HD4650, Windows 7 64 bit.

Well sadly a lot of my older games now no longer work.

The most recent discovery was Jedi Academy. I've googled and gone through various threads and tried installing older drivers, beta drivers, running under compatability modes, changing security to full permission for users and I still get this:

Sometimes I get as far as the splash screen and it simply crashes to desktop.

Anyone have a fix for this? I really need my Jedi fix! Especially after trying the horrawful craptastic port for Force Unleashed. Gah!

Thanks!

Did you patch it up to v1.01?

Game crashes when I update to the latest ATI drivers! (Catalyst 10.5)

1. Go to the driver download selection page at the ATI website: Graphics Drivers & Software
2. Select the options which suit your graphics card, and then click Display Results.
3. Under the heading which starts ATI Catalyst™ 10.6 Suite for..., click the Previous Drivers link.
4. Click Catalyst 10.4.
5. Download the Display Driver (downloading the Full Software Suite also works, but the Display Driver download is slightly smaller )
6. Run the installer, and make a note of where the ATI install files will be extracted to. By default it will be C: \ATI.
7. Wait for the files to extract, and on the next window (should be the Catalyst Install Manager), click Cancel to cancel the installation.
8. Go to the directory you wrote down earlier, where the install files were extracted, and navigate into the Support directory, and then the directory which begins 10-4_.
9. Navigate into the Packages/Drivers directory.
10. Keep entering the first (and only) directory visible until there are no more directories to enter. For me, this was C: \ATI\Support\10-4_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A _INF\B_98282 (for a Windows 7 64-bit driver).
11. Find the file atioglxx.dl_, and copy this file to your Jedi Academy's GameData directory.
12. Copy and paste the below batch script code into a new file called atifix.bat, and save it to the GameData folder.

expand atioglxx.dl_ atioglxx.dll

Alternatively, you can run the command directly from the command prompt, and skip the last step.

13. Run the atifix.bat file.

If you have any problems, just reply to this topic and hopefully I or someone else

Bingo! It was Catalyst. Doing the expand atioglxx.dl_ atioglxx.dll fixed it.

I was already running (or trying to run) the latest version of JA. I keep losing the little $5 jewel case so I keep buying a new copy every year or so. :p

Thanks!

Roll back to Catalyst 10.4 or older. Manually install it (as above) if you try to automatically install it appears to install but it really doesn't. Other than that I have no idea. Hope this works.

Any ideas about if I did something wrong or what might be the problem? I'd really like to play JKJA once again (I am pretty sure I able to play this when I had 10.5).

This is why Windows XP should still be the OS of choice. And if you dont play games, get Linux.

Definitely. There shouldn't be any advances in technology or software either because old things might then get old.

/sarcasm

Edit: Read the thread, these issues are usually driver related, NOT OS. Win7 actually runs older titles very well (better than Vista).

Onw of the reasons I keep picking something other than an ati card, they seem to have much more occurences of driver problems like this.

I didn't notice the topic say Win 7, I'm running XP. But, it'd be nice to be able to get JKJA running again.

If it's the same bug I encountered with Jedi Outcast then it's not an ATI driver bug or a bug in Windows 7. It's a bug in the game itself. There's a buffer overrun that happens because the list of OpenGL extentions supported by the ATI driver is longer than the game expects.

If you're handy with a hex editor then look for the string "GL_EXTENTIONS: %s" (without quotes) in the main game executable and replace the "%s" with "%p". This fix lets me run Jedi Outcast under Windows 7 with current ATI drivers, and could very well work with Jedi Academy as well.
