I can start the program and run it but half way threw loading the map the game become unresponsive\crashes. I have ASUS , Windows 8, 64 bit, 8 gb of RAM, 1.8 dual core.
How it does crash, exactly?
Any error messages?
Or it just freezes, without any dialog windows?
MBII Launcher => Settings => uncheck "Steam integration" (skip if there's no such checkbox) => Engine => MBII Client => Play.
If you already use MBII Client, select jamp. Still crashes?
MBII Launcher => Settings => check "Enable logging" => Repair installation.
Post latest log from "Jedi Academy\GameData\MBII_Launcher\logs" here.
