Cludge?

Star Wars Jedi Academy is a great classic game. This version from the App store is, however, lacking since it does not connect to many if not most multiplayer servers.
Aspyrs support page states "When you try to join a MP server that is modded and you do not have the required mods, you will receive an error indicating that you are missing files. Most of these modded servers have auto downloads turned off for people joining. Be sure to "allow downloads" in MP options to be able to get files when available from the host server."
First it indicates that Downloads need to be on but then most of the servers dont allow Auto Downloads. Not very helpful.
Furthermore, I also have the older retail version of this game for Mac which does not have this problem, so it does not seem the above statement is correct for many of the servers the App Store version of the game cannot connect to.
The retail (non-App Store) version does not work with Lion or Mountain Lion unless you make the following modification:

Make a text file named autoexec.config
Add these lines to the file
seta r_colorbits "32"
set r_allowExtensions 0
Place in the "base" folder in Jedi Academy folder
Play

Seems like Aspyr could have easily made a patch for the retail version, but of course they havent.
Its unlikely most typical users will do this, so they are stuck using the App Store version which overall turns out to be quite unsatisfactory if you want to play multiplayer.
