eidospsogos Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 i decided i wanted to get to yavin a little earlier this time. so i went after a brief stop at tatooine to buy a few things. and now comes the really odd part. i walk all th way down the hall activating the two access panels before the one where the rodian comes to open the door for you, but when i get to the final access panel and click on it, my entire screen goes black, and then the end of a pazaak dialogue comes up, as if i have just beaten him, and he wants to know if iwant another hand. i said not right now, and asked if he had anything for sale(all this time the screen has remained black exceot for the dialogue choices and my cursor) at which point i can buy some items. but when i exit the store the only thing visible is the cursor. i can get into my in game menus by pressing the esc key. but past that nothing. and i have tried reloading a from the last saved game etc, and it's doing this everytime. Surely there aren't pre-requisites to the first time you visit this planet is there? help!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichpo Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Are you sayin now that every time u get into the game all it is is black???? Sorry i cant help you but that souns pretty major... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 no when i reload the game from where i was i can proceed with the game as usual, unless i try to go back to yavin, then bam the same error again. most of the bugs i've encountered in this game will go away once i've exited the game, restart it and reload it. but this one persists.

Nichpo Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 man that must really suck...maybe its an error in the yavin data??? try restarting and seeing if it still happens. if not, its just a bug for that character, but if it still happens theres probly a problem wither with ur CD, or with the yavin data. maybe even try re-installing and restarting ur game??? Just some ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamZta Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 lol, I had that one. it turns out u can get the map by right clicking and guessing where the icon was. Then i figured which way I was facing.. Then I stumbled all the way back down the corridor in the dark. Then I realised I didnt have a penlight while i fumbled around for the access panel to open the door back to the ship. But after a few minutes I got back on the boat and all the graphics were restored. When I went back to the guy I think everything was ok..but I'm not sure I remember exactly. Might be if u end the dialogue and just walk forward again U get the cut scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 well, from what i have read on the bioware forum this is a glitch only encountered after the patch. another big thumbs up to the guys at bioware for improving our gameplay experience. so anyone know the easiest way to unpatch the game. (is unpatch even a word? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 ok well that didn't work. did a clean install and i'm having the same issue. what the #e!! is going on? geez. anyway, if anyone figures this out please let me know something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamZta Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Try my method. It took a little patience but its quicker than fiddling round with the patch and reinstall etc. Just pretend its like u got home drunk and ur in the corridor to the door of ur flat and the lightbulb goes hehehehe.

eidospsogos Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 actually i tried a variation of your method. i noticed when i got out of the ebon hawk, i could not get back in to leave and i assumed i wouldn't be able to until i spoke with the guy and proceeded through the tiny beginning of his plotline. this was before i encountered the bug of course. and apparently the buggy end of a pazaak game that never happened didn't count as enough of a plot advancement to let me back in to the ebon hawk. or maybe that was just another bug. so i tried something easier. i looked for the acces panel that caused the lights to go out and me to lose game of pazaak, and clicked it, and then the appropriate cutscene came up and i went from there. so thanks. would not have thought just to feel around in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it some other panel? Anyways, time to stumple around in the dark. -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 look for the acces panel you clicked on right before evrything went dark. it will be right in front of you and thus easier to find. click on it again and the cutscene where he starts talking to you will start playing properly, as it should have the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swat Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Try pressing Q or E to cycle 'targets' if you find it hard. Click when you see a hand cursor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemme w/Stick Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 I found it, and I got the whole thing afterwards. Damn that was a cool place, even though those Trandoshans bothered me a lot. -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
