lockup/crash

Hey Trozz,

 

Have you installed in any recent mods? This happened to me (Endire Spire, not on Taris) before because I was using a mod that was calling for a .utc that wasn't 'unique' to that area / game.

 

ie - one of the Lightsaber mods uses a re-vamped Darth Bandon model, where if you go into an area with Bandon and you have that file in your override...the game stalls / crashes

 

sorry if this sounds confusing... but believe Darth333 knows what I'm talking about and maybe perhaps 'translate' my babbling ;)

 

(the Bandon 'ordeal' about the same file name??)

In the case of Bandon, this only happens onthe Endar Spire because there are two files with the same name (g_bandon001.utc) for Manan and the Endar Spire but with different contents. Also, the game doesn't crash but since it doesn't find the object it's looking for, it stops from progressing and the only thing you can do is run around the Endar Spire indefinitely...:D

 

But some other mods could cause similar errors.

I just realized your RAM is 496MB. Kotor wants (and it REALLY wants) 512mb. Way back when i had 512mb, I had to pretty much re-start the system and game every hour or so just to free up some memory.

 

Might want to bite the bullet and get some RAM

Hmm...I played that game on my old P4 1.6 GHz and 256 MB Ram without problems. Sure, 512 MB is recommended but 256 meets the requirements.

 

I think the problem is rather with the video card that may not be supported.

 

extract forum LA site:

 

Supported Chipsets at the time of release:

 

ATI Radeon 8500/9000/9200

 

ATI Radeon 9500/9600/9700/9800

 

NVIDIA GeForce 2/3/4 family

 

NVIDIA GeForceFX family

 

Additional Chipsets supported. For a complete list of supported 3D cards, please consult the Troubleshooting guide, or visit the Technical Support section of the LucasArts Website at http://www.lucasarts.com.

my computer is

Windows Xp SP2

Intel Pentium 4 3.00 GHz

496MB RAM

Intel® 82865G Graphics Controller 128MB

Intel 1.3.0 OpenGL

DX9.0C

 

2 things I can't recall which site it was but there has been numorous reports of problems with computers running windows xp and having service pack 2 installed and having problems running KOTOR. The other thing is you show 496mb RAM above are you running your machine overclocked or does your system have shared video memory. either of these can also cause lockups especially since 496MB is not a standard multiple of 8 pattern for memory. Even though it is 16MB less than 512MB it is not a standard memory layout which some systems crap out because of this.
