JK-XR: Outcast - The Standalone VR port of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
JK XR is a VR port of the Jedi Knight games using OpenXR (the open standard for virtual and augmented reality devices) and is based on the excellent OpenJK port, originally forked from: https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK

Available on MacBook?
Although you'll probably need to install OpenJK anyway afterwards.

Pro tip the source code was released a few years ago and some fans made some updates: https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK you only need to download the files from Amazon and then execute from the openjk to enjoy the game fully on modern systems, works with mods too.
- Vanilla or mods?

Hey y’all.. How can I play multiplayer? I go into the “multiplayer” portion on steam but there are no lobbies..
Install OpenJK or EternalJK.
-
Worth buying for PC (multiplayer)?
Isn't EternalJK just for MP? OpenJK is for both. I mean, if you don't care about SP, then sure, go for EternalJK.

No servers showing in Jedi Academy on Windows, Mac, or Linux? Read here.
Latest version of EternalJK

Want to play online
I bought JKA on Steam and I have been trying to figure out how to use EternalJK to get the multiplayer to work but there are no real instructions on how to do it. I've downloaded "ejk-japro-pk3only.zip" from https://github.com/eternalcodes/EternalJK/releases but there's no readme and I have no idea what to do with the files.
- Can't get JA to run in 1080 resolution, the console commands and game files methods aren't working at all
-
Some random clips from base and ja+ this January, from TFFA ,FAA and random pugs .. still loving base and ja+ isn't so bad
Get the EternalJK client, follow the install guide if needed.

Why is multiplayer on PC so weird (no mods)?
You probably want the EternalJK client if you want to play MP. You can sort by player count in the normal game but you're right, a lot of old, dead servers are still up and full of bots. ETJK filters out all the bots and shows it as a zero-player count so that you can easier find populated servers. https://github.com/eternalcodes/EternalJK/releases (If you need help with the setup feel free to ask)
-
I created some new public servers for anyone who is interested (PC)
I recommend using EternalJK ( https://github.com/eternalcodes/EternalJK/releases ) if you're completely new to this game. OpenJK works better on Linux from my experience.
- Playing from linux nicely with eternalJK

New player here! How do I go about joining multiplayer matches in Jedi knight: Jedi academy?
I use both of them? Not sure if thats a thing but I wasn't sure if EternalJK did this as well, which it appears to. Either one will work for OP though. :)
