Jedi Knight 2 Macbook problem

[HdVaderII]

Hey, I'm new to this fourm, and I have a problem that I could use some help on.
I recently bought Jedi Knight II for my macbook. I installed it, and downloaded the UB patch, but when I try to play it, the app icon comes up in the dock, shows the blue dot under it that means it's on, but the game does not run. Instead the app sits on the dock, and my computer emits a very annoying buzzing noise.

I have a mac OS X Macbook, Leopard 10.5.5, Intel Core Duo, 2.4 Ghz, with more than enough space.

Also has 2GB of memory

Graphics/Displays:
Intel GMA X3100
144 VRAM

If anyone could shed some light on what's wrong, that'd be very helpful
Thanks in advance,
HdVaderII

Yea that happened to me too. Apparently, the UB patch does not work or is not meant for Leopard. I have not heard of anybody playing JK II successfully on a macbook running Leopard.

Does anybody here know of a way around this problem?

Not really sure of how to make it work, because JK2 and JKA both run perfectly fine on my MBP.

That's interesting, I tried to play the JKA demo, and got the same problem.
What's your graphics card?

I am currently playing JK II on my macbook. All I did was install from the disk and then i downloaded the 1.03 and 1.04 patches for the game. Runs perfectly fine.

Buzzing noise

I've experienced the same problem. Installed the patches and still get a buzzing noise. Running JK2 on an intel macbook. Any one come up with a solution?

If you have an Intel GMA 3100 card, it does not support 16-bit OpenGL, which is what the game uses for a default. As a result, the game will fail to launch on that chipset. See the post here for a file which will force the color default to 32-bit for those cards.

As for the rest of you, there was a Rev. D patch that we released in December for the Jedi games to take care of the other issues. I'd suggest you all download that if you're still having troubles.
