Kotor2 Crashes, Suddenly black screen.

[Spun]

Hi, I just bought Kotor2 jeej! ONLY, after i got home really excited, and spending 50 euro's (Live in the netherlands).

I installed it, and found it to be crashing alot! I've met the requirements way by far, I've updated every driver, and still this issues bugs me ALOT, How can i solve this? I didnt spend 50 euro's on nothing!

 

I also saved the list of the passed reqs, If you want to check my stuff, I can send it to you or post it in here(long one)

 

Thanks

i'm not sure if things are very different where you are, but i noticed that you don't have either Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 installed for Windows XP. not only is this bad for your computer's security, it also prevents DirectX 9.0c from operating correctly.

 

to fix this, go to http://www.windowsupdate.com (using Internet Explorer) and get the latest updates. as a warning: since you don't even have service pack 1, its going to probably be a 250+ MB download.

 

hope that helps.

After looking for 30 minutes, Now downloading service pack 1, I hope this will work, I'll get back to you. (Not a threat =p)

[Spun]

Okay, I installed Service pack 1&2.

Installed the Game

---

 

First try, Sound hangs.

Second try, Got blackscreen after i created character, i still hear sound if i'm correct, Do not know for sure?

 

What must i do? This is getting really discouring, I want to play the game, Didnt pay 50 euros for it for nothing.

you might want to try re-installing your video drivers and then directx 9.0c to make sure everything is configured correctly.

 

for your convenience:

Forceware 66.93 for Win XP/2000

 

and directx 9.0c is should be on disc one of the kotor 2 install CD's.

I did, I completely wiped my PC, Reinstalled EVERYthing again, So.

 

Any suggestions left?

Well you could take a leaf out of Zaphod Beeblebroxes book and tell your computer that if it doesnt do what you tell it to you will get a very large axe go down to its memory banks and give it a reprogramming it'll never forget

 

admitedly this probably will not help or solve the problem but you will feel a lot better

 

until you realise you'll probably have to buy a new computer because you just smashed it to pieces with an axe

 

but heres a link to lucas arts support page maybe it'll help

http://support.lucasarts.com/

good luck and may the force be with you
