I have a problem with the SW Dark Forces pack from Steam.

Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight and its add-on Mysteries of the Sith were always problematic on newer systems... like many games of the dark "Windows incompatibilty era" (1995 - 2000, especially 1997 - 1999). Can't get it to run properly. :(

 

Have you tried changing the name of the exe or change the compatability? That is what I suggested to darwin - not sure if he did anything else but he got it to work.

As for me the only issue I had with the game was the inverted colors but that was fixed easily with a few files to the exe's folder.

Now it works. The only changes I made was setting Win98/ME-compatibility to the JK.exe (Jedi Knight) and the JKM.exe (Mysteries of the Sith), then chosing 1280x1024 in the menu. Hardware acceleration has to be off, but with 120 - 150 fps, it is fast enough. ;)
