What fixed this for me was turning down some graphical settings, like, I dunno, texture quality, or something. Still though, my computer should be more than powerful enough to handle this game so I imagine there's a better solution.

It's gotten so bad that I can't even load up a map without it crashing. I've tried to lower my graphics settings but it does not work. please tell me there is a fix to this?
I think it might have to do with Windows 10 but i can't be certain

Try lowering them to the ground.
As low as possible.

MBII Launcher => Settings => uncheck "Steam integration" (skip if there's no such checkbox) => Engine => MBII Client => Play.

What is your videocard?
If it's Intel, you've got problems. Intel is a known troublemaker for Movie Battles.
Switch to dedicated graphic card, if you have one.
Update drivers for a video.
When I say "update", I also mean that probably you will have to install older drivers. Or newer. Or drivers for other OS (Win 7).
You have to do some investigation on your own and try different drivers.

Delete file "opengl32.dll" from "Jedi Academy\GameData" (but do not delete it from "Windows\System32").

Copy file "opengl32.dll" from "Windows\System32" to "Jedi Academy\GameData".

Copy file "opengl32.dll" from "Windows\System32" to "Jedi Academy\GameData".

Why? System32 folder has a global scope, so the dll will be loaded anyways.

Yeah I know that's strange, but that have been suggested here and there, so I decided to add it as well.

This is the first I've heard of copy-pasting from your system files, though... I've mostly read suggestions consisting of "Download this particular opengl32.dll I'm linking to, then put that in GameData".

Edit: Yeah, tested it out on JK2, which hasn't worked since I got Windows 10. No luck.

I've heard that too.
As you can see, both versions exist, though copying from System32 is voodoo indeed.

Do you use ATI Radeon graphic card?

 

[ELDYLO]

Seems the opendl32 idea worked. i haven't had a crash yet so i'm marking this post as solved
