You'll want to launch the game directly via the OpenJK single-player or multi-player. Mostly bug-fixes and improved compatibility with modern hardware and operating systems, OpenJK is also a pre-requisite for most modern Jedi Academy mods, although most of the bigger ones come with their own version included. Even if you don't plan on playing anything game-altering, you'll want to grab OpenJK.Īs the name suggests, it's an open source overhaul to some of the creakier parts of the game's engine. Thankfully, modders have already come to your rescue. If you've not played Jedi Academy in a while and have upgraded to Windows 10, odds are good that you'll run into a brick wall the moment you try launching the game.
Here's a handful of the best and biggest mods you can play today. Between well maintained tools, open-source engine upgrades and a dedicated fanbase, Jedi Academy is still going strong in 2020. It may owe some of its longevity as a multiplayer staple to its engine, a heavily modified Quake 3 codebase, and it can definitely chalk up its still-active modding scene to that. Among the best to grace the PC is the Jedi Knight series, the last in its line being Raven's Jedi Academy. No matter what may happen to Star Wars, we'll always have lightsabers. Every other Monday, Dominic gives you a reason to dust off one of your old games and dive into its mods with Modder Superior.
