VIDEO Getting Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight to run on modern PCs

Does anyone have method for getting this game to run properly on Windows 7 and later versions? I got it on Steam years ago, but never managed to make it work, the colors are horribly distorted.

It's the only Kyle Katarn game I haven't finished!

 

Yep, this is kinda the response I expected!

 

Get it from GOG.

 

man, i'm struggling to remember if i had to take special steps to get it to work for me (steam/windows 10). my suspicion is yes, but i know i was able to play it fairly recently somehow. i can try checking after work

this seems somewhat familiar....

you could try a virtual machine too

i have indeed learned that GOG tends to do a much better job than steam at releasing compatible packages for older games

good luck! one of my all time favorite games

 

Let me help you with this. Go to jkhub.net. And look up alternate installer, they have them for JK and MOTS. I have used this site for years, it also has mods so you can improve the graphics of both games.

 

GOG and Steam have always worked for me.

 

Okay so I bought this Star Wars collection on a huge discount on Steam a month or so ago...how does this go chronologically...Dark Forces --> Dark Forces II --> Mysteries of the Sith --> Jedi Outcast --> Jedi Academy?

Also, this is basically Doom in a Star Wars setting right?

 

Yes.

 

I had this same problem but I can confirm that its an easy fix even if I don't remember what it is, so I'm just gonna move along now.

 

I have similar question for this game.

I bought this game from GOG , however whenever I pause the game and then click return to game it crashes.

Any ideas?

 

I finished it recently and I did not have any problem and I have a 32-bit windows 7
Try to look for mods to restore the graphics or question in the steam forums
