JKDF2 UE5.8 Port

JKDF2 UE5.8 Port is a public-beta Unreal Engine 5 port of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. It runs from a player's licensed retail installation and does not include or redistribute any original game assets.

Public beta

The Windows installer asks for the root folder of an existing Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II installation. It validates the original .gob archives in that install and then reads the game's data directly from it.

Completed features

The current beta includes a playable single-player runtime with the original game data, campaign flow, player systems, combat systems, presentation, and save support. See FEATURES.md for the completed feature list.

Install

1. Download and run the DF2JK Windows installer.
2. Choose where to install DF2JK.
3. When prompted, select the root folder of your licensed Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II installation.
4. Launch DF2JK Public Beta from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

Requirements

• 64-bit Windows
• A licensed installation of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II

Original game data

DF2JK requires the original retail data to remain installed on the player's computer. The installer does not copy, alter, or remove files from that game installation.
