If moderators are reading this, you can delete this whole thread, because it does not have a purpose anymore. Thanks.

« on: May 15, 2018, 07:25:16 AM »So I decided to relive the good old days and install Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. I did, and now it doesn't want to run whatever I do. I googled this issue, and saw that it's pretty common with modern PCs (mine isn't exactly modern, but definitely good enough to run JA), and there are two issues at play here. Firstly, the in-game resolution is outdated, and I read somewhere that you should manually put your PC's resolution in (mine's 1280 x 800). Secondly, the graphics drivers are badly outdated, too. I tried to find right ones online, but so far to no avail, even though I haven't yet spent too much time on this issue, and perhaps I don't quite understand what exactly is required to fix it. If anyone has encountered a similar situation, and knows what to do, I would appreciate greatly any help I can get. Thanks in advance!
If it helps, here's the log that pops up on the screen each time the game crashes out (which happens every time I launch it):
