Wow, 7 hours and no reply. AWESOME FORUM.

[stingerhs]

hey, i resent that. i've been working at a real job for the past 10 hrs, and i come to the forums to listen to this???

 

anyways, i'm actually quite impressed with your hardware setup. i think its safe to say that you're problem isn't hardware related.

 

i can say right off the bat that the Peragus Fuel Depot is a massive framerate hog due to the massive draw distances involved. now, normally this isn't a problem in other open areas. but unlike the other open areasin the game, the Peragus Fuel Depot is having your graphics board draw 3 dimensional objects a very large distance from the camera. in other even more open areas, the objects are being drawn in 2 dimensions, easing on the load. where i think you could be running into problems is having the AA up so high. try turning that down to about 2x or 4x and see if that does anything. this is only due to having the AA having to be applied to so many edges at one time.

 

if it doesn't work, just hang in there and don't get impatient, even if i don't reply for a couple of hours. its not like posting in this forum is getting me paid or anything....

Well it wasnt just 7+ hours of waiting... it was 7+ hours without KOTOR2! I'm sure you can understand how hard it must have been...

I do appreciate your response though, maybe this will help clarify my problem:

It hangs and crashes at that same spot when loading. And apparently, it crashes when loading every other savegame I have except for the quicksave right before the fuel line entrance.

[stingerhs]

ahh, now i understand. hmm, i never really did understand those darn saves. i guess the next question is do you have the game patched yet?

 

and don't worry if i can't help you too much: tk102 (the local moderator) knows a lot more about the saves than i do (he wrote the Kotor savegame editor). so if i can't help you too much, i'll refer you to him.

[Hex L0ck]

game is fully patched
