Giving out on loads and when going to menu


Phelan Loe

Recommended Posts

I have a couple of problems with my KOTOR game. The first being that the game freezes when loading my saved games. What happens is I click on the load it gets half way and goes no farther, however, the computer has not frozen as I can still Ctrl-Alt-Del out of the game and shut it down. This problem is particularly frustrating as I have had to restart the game several times alreadybecuase of this. Secondly, whenever I try to go to the menu during game (pressing "ESC") the game freezes on most occasions. This most likely has something to do with the previous problem as the game hardly ever freezes on any other occasion. I own a low-end computer so I run the game on low graphics with no movies or sounds. I would highly appriciate any help. Thanks to whoever offers advice in advance.

I'm thinking its your CPU thats givin ya the headaches. Make sure you don't have any other programs running in the back ground, you'll need every ounce of power you can get. Maybe your vid cards causing trouble as well. I can't recall if it's on the supported list, go into your kotor folder > Docs > Kotor troubleshooting to check, or check LA's or Biowares support, they should have them listed there too IIRC.

you're not alone. :( when I try to load a savegame about half the way thru the load it freezes :mad: all I can do is al-ctrl-del to get out of it. it doesnt happen always, but about 50% of the time, which is really frustrating. I havent had any problems when going to the menu (esc) I'm determined to fix this problem or storm into bioware's office with a lightsaber :cool: If I find a solution I'll post it on here. I meet or exceed all the specs, so a low end comp. may not be the problem these are my specs

 

Windows xp

AMD athlon 2 GHz

512mb RAM

nvidia geforce 2 32mb

nvidia nforce 1 soundcard

 

all my drivers are up to date and i'm running version 1.03

I've got a solution for the freeze up during savegame loading. theres a program in windows xp called "cisvc.exe" you'll find it under "processes" in the alt-ctrl-del menu. it indexes all the files on your drive for faster searches, but basically just hogs up resources. the problem it creates with this game is, it wont allow the old temporary game files to be deleted during the re-load so the game just freezes. so, before you play just alt-ctrl-del and end the process "cisvc.exe" (i'm not 100% sure on the spelling) or you can permanently disable it using these instructions http://www.tweakxp.com/tweak545.aspx

 

hope this helps :p
