cons Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hi there I installed kotor 1 on my 98 se. It has: 1.5 ghz cpu nvidia geforece fx5200 video card ac97 audio and 512mb of ram It said that it met the minimum requirements (only prossecor was not recomended) so i started a new game. However... as i am walking around the endar spire, lots of random brown lines obstruct my view in certain places (hopefully attached screen will work) and it's very annoying. I have the latest drivers for my video card and it worked fine opn my XP with basicly the same card. How can i fix this?

ChAiNz.2da Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 weird, that looks like model verts being stretched out??? If worse comes to worse, have you tried starting a new (differernt) game? Sometimes it can be quirky like that and for some freakish reason it does that... oh yeah, do you have any mods installed, or is this a 'fresh' game?

stingerhs Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 well, for one thing, you'd probably have much better performance on a lower res (assuming you're running the game on the res your screenshot was taken in). another thing is that when you run the game in higher resolutions, the entire game seems to get a bit unstable. i tend to get a lot of game crashes and wierd graphical errors (not just artifacts) when i run the game at really high resolutions. personally, i recommend that you run the game in 800x600 or 1024x768. see if that helps out a bit.

wingzro Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 is your video card tweaked in any way? ie. using tweaked drivers or overclocked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChAiNz.2da Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Originally posted by cons no idea... how would i find out? Basically, have you done any "self" adjusting settings with the drivers or your mobo's CPU setings? (other than standard updates, upgrades and patches)... It may sound odd, and you may have already tried it.. but when I have had the 'glitches' appear.. I immediately quite the game, then re-started TSL again (without restarting the computer)... sometimes it 'fixes' the problem... it might just be a 'hiccup' when the game first loads.. Is this happening quite regularly or is this just something that started recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cons Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 i haven't done any fiddeling and it does happen all the time but i have found the problem... i went back to using a previous version of the nvidia driver... that sorted it all is well now thanks for all your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I had a similar problem to that as well, the 'models.bif' archive was corrupted and the game engine wasn't reading them right, try re-installing the new drivers, cleaning your registry thorougly with a 'scrubber', and manually removing entries that aren't needed (type 'regedit' in the Start->Run window), then uninstalling the game, then installing it again. As for the older drivers fixing it, I have no idea why that is, but my game looked the exact same as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
