Greetings! I have a problem with Jedi Knight.
I recently bought the game from GOG because I was sick of the silent Steam version. Well, that's not really important.
The thing is, I installed GOG's Jedi Knight and tried to play. It went well, it had music, and I touch some things in the Options menu. Especially, I enabled 3D acceleration and selected my monitor's resolution, 1366x720. I worked pretty well, and I decided to exit the game in order to import my character from the Steam version.
And then the horror started. My wallpaper appeared with distorted colors. The Windows explorer was gone, not responding, and even after killing it I couldn't reboot it. I even killed the Windows manager and tried to reboot it, but nothing worked. My only option was to reboot the entire computer.
Apparently nothing happened. Windows doesn't detected any kind of error, which is normal, as it clearly looked like a graphic driver problem.
I already downloaded the patch provided here forum/star_wars_dark_forces_series/jedi_knight_mots_hardware_acceleration_graphic_patches_for_all/page1
but to be honest, I'm a little scared of trying to play the game again, since a failure implies that I have to reboot my computer... again. Did something like this happened to someone?
I'm using Win 7, my graphic card is an nVidia Geforce 660.
