| Jedi Academy / Jedi Outcast and Universal Binary | |

So, I recently bought an Apple Macbook wit an intel processor, but for some reason, neither Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast or Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy will run.
I looked around, and found that Aspyr released a patch (1.0.1e) for Universal Binary. I installed it, and it still won't run. When I start up the application, it just makes this constant humming noise and remains unresponsive until I 'force quit'. I tried reinstalling the game and patch, but it had the same outcome. I emailed Aspyr about it, and still haven't gotten a response from them. It also turns out that I'm not the only one with the same problem: Quote: Yi Zhu (10/1/2008 - version 1.0.1e)
Doesn't work. I'm using OS X 10.5 and game can not be entered. Hope new patch for OS X 10.5 will come soon Quote: Mac (5/25/2008 - version 1.0.1e)
This patch cant seem to get the game running, it didnt do anything! When i first installed JA, i tried to start it without the patch and it made this weird humming noise and my computer tweaked out, i had to restart. Even with the patch, it still does this. Same thing for Jedi Outcast, Aspyr just cant get it right, i wonder if they even tested it. THIS PATCH IS WORTHLESS Quote: Icarus (1/15/2008 - version 1.0.1e)
Didn't do jack! Jedi Academy ran fine on my old iBook with OS 10.3.9, but when I try to run it on my new MacBook with 10.5.1, it starts a weird humming noise but doesn't run the program or change the screen or anything. Installing this patch -- twice -- did absolutely nothing. (The quotes were taken from comments on the macgamefiles. com download page) I would really love to start playing again, especially on my new computer one which it should run well. as anyone had a similar experience, heard of this problem, or know how to fix it? PS: JK2 does the same thing with its Universal BInary patch installed. _______________ Top ten reasons to get a better computer...|My fan |

UPDATE: The reply I got from Aspyr...
Quote: Thank you for contacting us and for your patience. We have been experiencing technical difficulty and have been unable to give a prompt reply. Sorry for this inconvenience.
I also regret to inform you that the humming sound is caused by the integrated video card. The Intel GMA series is not suitable for running the Jedi Knight series. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done about this. If you have another Mac you may wish to try the game on that, or perhaps the vendor you purchased the game from will accept returns. Sorry we could not be of further assistance. Thanks Aspyr. I'll just go buy a different computer, or take back my six-year-old game to Game Stop for a dollar... _______________ Top ten reasons to get a better computer...|My fan |
