Download the latest version of the NewJK executable for Windows (December 29, 2021).
NewJK is our optional improved custom executable that replaces jamp.exe, which launches when you start JKA. As a custom executable, it is capable of implementing many improvements that are not possible with simple PK3 mods (like Newmod). It can improve FPS, has many crash fixes and stability improvements, and adds extra capabilities like raw mouse input. While NewJK is not required to use Newmod, we highly recommend it. For more information, see the NewJK page.
If you are also already using Newmod, make sure to update that, too.
The 1.7.5 minor update adds extra options for force power configuration to the force powers menu and fixes a small menu bug.
The 1.7.4 minor update includes the new Force Display Style cvar (cg_drawForceStyle
), fixes a bug with disappearing dropped weapons, and fixes a single saber prediction bug.

Strafe Helper (
cg_strafeHelper
)- Fixed an inaccuracy in strafe helper angle calculations.
- Since strafe helper now has 11 parameters, we've added a new Strafe Helper Tweaker command (

to get started. - Added two new presets:
3
preset: enables a minimal feature set, most suitable for ingame use with minimal distractions.4
preset: enables absolutely every feature, most suitable for gaining a better understanding of JKA movement.
