Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy / Jedi Outcast (OpenJK)

WIN Install with Unricopie

OpenJK: a community effort to maintain and improve the game and engine of Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast from the code Raven Software released, while keeping full compatibility with the existing games and mods. It doesn’t aim to add major features, rebalance, or change the gameplay: it fixes bugs, improves stability and performance, and brings it to more hardware (x86-64, Arm, and Apple silicon) and more systems (Linux and macOS). It also serves as a clean base for new mods. Jedi Academy runs stably in both single player and multiplayer; the Jedi Outcast campaign (OpenJO) works but needs attention, and its multiplayer isn’t supported: for that they recommend JK2MV. It doesn’t publish numbered releases but a rolling build: the latest is from September 29, for Windows and Linux (32- and 64-bit) and macOS (Intel and Apple silicon).

You needYour own installed copy of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, for example from Steam or GOG; the OpenJK files are extracted into its GameData folder. On Linux you use the Windows version’s files, which can be downloaded with SteamCMD, and on macOS the Mac App Store version works, with SDL2 installed through Homebrew. For the Jedi Outcast campaign, your own copy of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Plus Windows, Linux, or macOS.
