It does. Are you unable to run the GOG version on your computer? Some specifics in terms of what errors you are getting may help us solve the issues for you.

I was able to get Academy to work fine. To play that one, I just needed to run the game in compatability mode for Windows XP. I attempted this for Outcast and it boots up to the main menu, but it is missing all text for new game, load, quit etc--even the spinning Jedi Knight symbol is missing. I was able to sort of get it to work with the text, but the spinny Jedi symbol was in the middle of the screen and clipping with the text, and as soon as I moved to interact with any option the game would crash. Also, everytime it crashes it SUPER screws up the color settings of my computer.

Found this possible fix on another forum-- might help solve your issue!

Thank you so much! I was able to fix it by going into the jk2config.cfg and manually adjusting my resolution to the specs of my computer and r_mode to -1.

Although now that the game works I now have an issue where my settings are not saving. I've changed the controls and graphics to my liking and game works fine, but when I quit and start up again it forgets everything I changed.

Under Jedi acadamy theres a thread about HD and multi player that gives a autoexe setup file that works for this also. It puts all setting into the file you named and keeps them there.

OpenJA said to work with Outcast though I never tried it.

As a final solution, there is a mod for Jedi Academy that allows you to play through the Outcast missions in the newer engine build. It is a little bugged and may strange things happen in-game as you expect but I played it through without game breaking problems and actually that is why I didn't bought Outcast digitally yet.

JK2 is one of the reasons why I still stay with Win7.

I also had problems with JK II under Win 10, unfortunately for me, downgrade to Win 7 or XP was a no option. Therefore, having no functional version for Win 10, I had to made it a hard way. There is a sourcecode released around there. Open Jedi Knight. So I had to download it, set it for Jedi Knight II (default it builds for Jedi Academy) and compile it. Success. If interested, I can provide a binary.
Just note, I had to upgrade JK II to a higher version prior compiled code worked as intended. You just need to download and install a patch for 1.04 and you're set. Let me know if you want this compiled binary. I have played all levels with it as a singleplay. No nasty or horrible bugs all the time. Definitely better that downgrade or any messy patching and workarounding.

Hello, recently got Jedi Outcast for Win 10 but couldn't play it. I would be very appreciative if you could help me with my version.

So JK2 worked fine for several levels on my version of Win10. Now, when I try to save, JK just creates a copy of the previous save. Now I'm in a spot where I can't get more health, can't survive the long jump required, and can't revert to a previous save. Has anyone else encountered this?
