What works

The game can be installed easily and will run normally for the most part. 

What does not

  1. Menus in this game will not work correctly. They do not change color (or change at all). When typing in text in a box in a menu (for saving a game or creating a user profile), the text would be being inputed, yet it won't show up. Changes that are affected in the set-up menu can't be seen unless the menu is reloaded.
  2. Cut scenes do not run properly either and should just be skipped using the 'esc' key.
  3. Multiplayer is unusable.

Additional Comments

*note from admin*: cutscenes work fine for me... which video card and drivers do you have? Menus work fine if you pass the -windowgui flag on the commandline as indicated in the howto....

Dark Forces II Jedi Knight, Can't Play Multiplayer
by Matthew Guertin on Monday May 9th 2016, 15:37
Hey,

So, I followed instructions and opened JK using the -windowgui command in the terminal, but the join/host connection boxes were still empty. When I rolled the cursor over those boxes, there were sounds of items being encountered; but when I clicked on them repeatedly, I got a "Cannot connect to the network" error message. I also followed instructions and set all the required .dll files as native, and that didn't do anything, either. Anyone know how to fix this? (I use Lubuntu, if that matters.)

Seems like it could be a GUI error not loading the text for the different network options or that the network options themselves are not loading. Have you tried running JK without the -windowgui option, and have you tried running winetricks for directplay and directx9?
