Jedi Outcast error.

[TMA_1]

I am having a problem with Jedi outcast. It runs great in everything until I or another character opens a light sabre, it then explains that there is an error. Something involving the words x86. If I am not mistaken, that must mean that the whole game is currupted. I have tried reinstalling the game and have even tried burning it on another cd. it runs fine until somebody uses a lightsabre, can anybody help me with this? if so thanks. :)

Just for the record, here are TMA's system specs:

kt266a epox board with 256 mb of ddr 2100 ram

AMD atholon xp 2100

audigy sound card

geforce fx 5200 video card

(Taken from "yay". Correct me, TMA, if any of that stuff is not right)

What OS are you trying to run it with? Have you downloaded the latest patch for the game, or drivers for your video card (it seems to be like it's a graphics problem, or perhaps a sound problem - do you hear the lightsabre ignite?), etc? Also, what is the message exactly, and is it an in-game message thing, or does it kick you out to the desktop with a windows box explaining the x86 thing?

[TMA_1]

hmm I have tried running it with both win 2000 and win 98 on a different partition. I also tried disabling the sound and it just boots out and says there is an error. maybe it is a 3d card thing, who knows. lol

have you made sure all your drivers are up to date? ???

and how come you never awnser my ims >:(

TMA, could you attach your dxdiag ?

Did this problem always happen ?

Does it happen only with Jedi outcast ?

And could you post what the error exact says ?

here is a picture of the major info of the error I got from an error loging and recovering system that I dont know how to use, only to show this info.lol dont know if that helps.

Also before the screen freezes, at the top like somebody entered text it says "stack overflow of 128 in 128" or something almost identical to that. Does any of this make any sense? help me doc! lol[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

it's an illigal copy of the game ?

have other people who use the same copy [ orrigional or a possible copy you have made ] got the same error and could you try the disk on another computer ?

[TMA_1]

hmmm... I have tried that and no it isnt an illegal copy, though I did have it illegally for a while (shhhh, hehe). I just tried going into the bios and lowering the ram quantity on the gpu to 64 and setting the clock at a lower rate. it still didnt work, what does the error say? and what are your possible guess'?

lol ;), the picture you attached , well if it is vissible the important information has been overlapped by that little window showing your Windows OS specs and the access violation. When the error occurs, could you have a look at that same thing and then look up which application is on that PID number. 688 in the attached JPG.

You can find that application by pressing crt-alt-del and look at the running processes in the task list. They are orderd by PID number by default. starting at zero.

This would indicate the application that has crashed.

Also could you have a look at your device manager in the controle panel of Windows adn look for any red or jellow signs by one of the devices. [ usually that device section is faulded out / extended when there is an error ].
