Modder ‘GeneralTantor’ has released a new version of the HD Remaster Project for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. Version 3.0 features the new OpenJKDF2 Engine, OpenJKDF2 by shinyquagsire23.
OpenJKDF2 is a function-by-function reimplementation of Dark Forces 2 in C, with 64-bit ports to MacOS and Linux. It generally improves performance in certain scenarios and brings numerous quality-of-life improvements.
Thanks to OpenJKDF2, Star Wars Jedi Knight Remastered now offers true ultrawide gaming up to 360 degrees. Not only that, but it eliminates the stuttering issues that were present in the previous versions.
You can download the mod from here. Below you can also find an installation guide video.
Speaking of Stars Wars Dark Forces 2, we also suggest taking a look at the following fan remake concept project in Unreal Engine. While it’s not complete yet, it’s a cool demo that most Star Wars fans may appreciate.
Have fun!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

You said this is version 3.0 but the downloaded file says 2.0. So, somebody must be wrong!

There is even big red download button.
You are on super easy mode, and even this is too hard for you.
Interesting… The OpenJKDF2 engine uses OpenGL 3.3, and I can use SpecialK with OpenGL to tonemap the output to HDR…
gives me an instant pressure in forehead/headache; had to stop playing it; have no such issue with the Sith Engine of the original game.
