Dunno if this has already been stated, or if even released yet, but does anyone know what the sys requirements for JK3 will be? Or at least what ballpark they'll be in?
dunno but I doubt they will be going down.
if you ran jk2 fine I'm pretty sure you can run ja, even though it's a tweaked build it's still the q3 engine.
My guess would be somewhere between the reqs of JO and Elite Force 2. EF2 was based on the same engine, and although not made by Raven, it is still a good indicator. With that in mind, id say between 350 meg processor and 550 meg processor. Probably a 16 meg video card, maybe a bit more. ram will probably be 128 MHZ minimum. I am sure my 128MB video card and 3.2 gig processor with 512 megs of ram will be up to the challenge. =o) Video Settings to the max!
i do know that jedi academy will be on 1 disc and will be 650 to 750 mb.
Where did you get that info Outcast? Just curious because I was under the assumption that it was two discs. Just a rumor, but yup, I was told two.
[ You probably are confusing this with info about the leaked beta. Consider it obsolete info. ]

hehe busted!
admin! this guy own the game!
1 or 2 discs, can anyone confirm?
i heard from offial posts q&a that it will be one disk, so when it comes out exspect one, thats what you will get. but there are so many official q&a's out there, i dont care to get the one that said this right now
from what I've heard:
Windows 98 to Windows XP
1.2 gb Hard drive space
350 cpu
64 mb RAM
But....this is from an unreliable source. I expected the sys. requirements to be much higher personally. Maybe I'll upgrade my old GeForce2 for this one. ;)
you guys are so wrong. i got the info from raven a few days ago thats what they said it is still on one disk and it will be 650 to 750 mb.
Well, either way it does not matter. But JO was 650 itself with everything, and JA is bigger than JO so we have a starting point.
it could be on DVD? that would rock.. i dont uinderstand why there arent more games released on this medium.?
DVD is a stupid replacement for one or two CDs.
why? then cd's is a stupid replacement for 400 3.5 disk's.. less is better

Less is better, but producing one DVD is going to cost more than producing two CDs. There's no reason to switch to DVDs until the disk costs drop significantly.
the reason is, that i would gladly pay 5$ more for having the game on dvd.. i hate changing cd's when instaling..
But the problem is that companies dont find it to be a cost-efficient method just yet, when it gets to be where a game would need 5-6 CDs for just one game, you will need to use DVD which then will be more cost-effective...there is a big difference between limiting 400 floppies to 1 cd as opposed to limiting 2-4 cd's for 1 DVD. I'd say give it another 2-3 years, and then when the games get to big for CD, they will expand on to DVD, plus it will allow for DVD quality rendered screens and such.
using one DVD for a game such as JA is totally irrational and pointless. i agree with Andy, when games come to be 6 CDs or something (Enter the Matrix was 3 install, 1 play) then it would be logical to switch to DVD. otherwise, i can deal with 1, 2, 3, even 4 CDs. besides, its only in some games (like JK) where you have to change the CD mid-game. most others just require more than one for install and one for play.
has i said before the game is going to be on 1 disk on cd. its not going to be on dvd.

That seems kind of odd, since I saw a screenshot on a german site showing JA's launcher and it's system requirements, and it showed them to be about the same (although it said it required DirectX 9.0a) as JKII except that it said it required 1200 MB of HD space...if the final version only has one CD, then where did that other 600 MB of data go? :confused:
[ Outdated leaked beta info most likely. Consider it obsolete. ]
the beta for the game that is floating around is a 1.14g dl in rar form so it's going to be atleast 2 disks.
[ Read the warning about warez please. Don't post about the beta. ]
Any information in relation to the illegal warez of Jedi Academy is to be regarded as inaccurate and is not to be trusted as since it is an older build and was not professionally compressed.
wrong i has i said before its on one cd and its 650 to 750 mb. do you guys not know that they use the same textures over and over again. i have a email from raven saying that and they dont lie about this. so take what i say because what you are hearing is just a Rumor.
----------------------------------------------
raven reply
the game still fits on one CD, so it will be between 650 and 750MB in size.
----------------------------------------------

i sent a question to raven about the game this is what i asked.
(Q) how big is the game going to be.
now if you look at the reply that is what Kenn Hoekstra said to the question. about Jedi Academy.
If I can run SWG perfectly, will i be able to run JA? I can run JK2 very well too. So I just wanna make sure I can run this game. Sry again for my n00bness
SWG had higher system reqs than JK2, so you should be all right.
We've been told the game is more intensive than JK2, but it shouldn't be too bad. You're probably set.
I hope that they say what the requirements are soon because my computer is not very good so I might not be able to run it.
I hear that the requirements are just a little more than JKII. A birdie who has a PIII 600, 256 megs of RAM, and a Gforce2 told me that it runs fine on that system.
Again, it depends on what you expect to see. I have an old laptop that technically meets the requirements for JKII, but tell that to Kyle in the Swamp :eek:
My belief if that you need to look at SoFII, and Elite Force II, to see what to expect. The graphics from the latest movie look similar quality to Elite Force II, and we know many engine mods are similar to those done for SoFII. I found SoFII took more muscle than did JKII, as did EFII.
If you're scraping bottom now with JKII, JA won't be a beautiful thing, I think.
Mike
Hmmmm. My mate recently bought ummmm Unreal 2 I think and we tried to run it on my machine, and it sucked.
JK2 ain't bad, (I've been told that if you can see the sky, your doing fine) so i'm not too worried. ;)
Besides, i'll be on hols when JA is released, and won't get to play it for a while afterwards. :(
Ah well...:p

Seriously - I hope your system is enough that you can enjoy the game ... even if you can't get all of the cool new features.
Mike
Well if it's equivalent to EliteForce2, then I am definately due for an upgrade.
That game ran fine (the demo) until all those stupid crab monsters attacked me, then it lagged all to hell. ; p
Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that I haven't reformatted my windows system in 10 months and I refused to install DirectX 9 (I am still using 8.1a).
EF2 says it requires dx9, but it ran, just got bad as soon as enemies appeared on the screen. ; p
My system:
AMD Athlon 1 Ghz
GeForce2 GTS (32 mb) <--------- this I plan to upgrade in the next year or so to a Radeon AllinWonder Pro, as soon as I can afford it
256 mb pc133 ram
I'm not running WinXP, so that saves a little bit of memory...
I can run JK2 on high detail 1024x768 with simple shadows and 16 bit depth (and high res sounds), but it has some problems in the swamp levels in the rain. I doubt I'd be able to run JA on the same settings, probably have to downgrade the graphics even more.

:lol:
Yeah, Unreal 2 was kinda sucky. (Unfortunately I cant say ****)
But my machines rather new, and It won't be worth the Ј800 if it can't run JA. :mad:
Ta Txa.
;)
Lucasarts have now released official system requirements to run the game. Either check them on their official site (
http://www.lucasarts.com/products/jediacademy/), or for easy reference, you can find the details in the vastly updated Jedi Academy FAQ at the top of the forum (link in my sig below). ;)
Just seen it on the new Jedi Academy website, the system requirements are REALLY low.
Windows 98/98SE/ME/2k/XP
100% Direct X 9.0a Comp
Pentium III or Athlon 450Mhz or higher
128Mb Ram required - 256Mb Recommended
32Mb Open GL 1.4 comp. PCI or AGP 3d Graphics accelerator
16 Bit Direct X 9.0a comp. Sound Card
A right relief that is for me. I was expecting the game to push my computer a little, but these requirements are great.
They probably let you turn off new graphical features, and get it down to a JO level.
Thank god I'm going to be able to run it.
*Can't wait for Jedi Academy demo* :D :D
aight my pc is beyond perfect for this game. I think i meet double the maximum requirements. All i really gotta do is get rid of alotta junk on my pc to make room. Did they say how much space it would take up?

Doh...some people are never satisfied. j/k :p ;)
The answer is...no. No hard disk space requirements have not been posted. Maybe they'll add that when they add some more spit and polish to the site. ;)

Mike
Well, from what Lucasarts has been saying about JA, it sounds like they will be pushing
the Quake III engine farther than ever before. So this should be the ultimate game
graphically that is based on the Quake III engine.
No doubt that will bump up the system requirements needed to get the same frame rate
that you got with JKII.
The system requirements are posted, and many were surprised.
They weren't all that different from JK2.
Now I would imagine if you want to MAX OUT all the settings and still get a reasonable framerate in both SP and MP, your machine will have to be slightly more powerful to do it with JA than to do the same with JK2. See the official site or Stormies FAQ for more info...
I wasn't that surprised when the requirements weren't that different :)
Yeah, a bit of a bump, but not too much. So most fans should be all set for JA.
But like you said, it depends on how you want to run it. Personally, I want 1024x768
with every detail option at Max, with 8x anisotropic filtering. And over 100
FPS at all times.
I'm getting a new system soon, so I don't expect that to be a problem. ;)
