ExstaZ Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I have some big problems with this game. Even though I have tried it on low graphics like 800x600 the game runs realy slow, some times it can takes like 1min for the meny screen to show. I can´t even get past the creation of my Jedi so I can´t even play the game. My systems specs are: AMD Opteron 170 (Dual Core) 2,9Ghz 1024Mb ram 35gb free speca for swapfile Asus 6800 Ultra 256mb Lates Nvidia drivers Latest windows uppdates I have tried to just let the game run on one core but it doesn´t help. I realy would like to get this game to work because I played the first one and just loved it. BTW I´m playing SWKotOR2 if some one didn´t get that.

HerbieZ Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Have you patched the game? Have you added any mods? also, Have you considered rolling back to an earlier driver publish, that seems to solve alot of probs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExstaZ Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Yes I have tried the latest game patch. I will try a earlier grafics driver to see if it works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Post your specs according to this thread. However, based on knowing your CPU speed (2.9 Ghz), you might try underclocking it back to the stock 2.0 Ghz, as some games don't respond well to overclocking, especially with you increasing it by 900 mhz (nice OC by the way ).

ExstaZ Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Well now I have unistalled the game to try a reinstall but if that don´t work and I need to clock my processor back to stock speed I won´t play it. BTW I have never ever had or heard that a game will have trouble running under a overclocked PC and for the speed I can get higher but I need to take of the IHS but I´m to lazy to do that right now.

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 F.E.A.R is a game that comes to mind when I think of an engine that's sensitive to OC's of the CPU and/or GPU. You might as well not play it at all with all the artifacts that litter the screen. Anyways, try the 83.90b ForceWare drivers if the re-install doesn't work.

ExstaZ Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I did a reainstall and nothing. Did try older drivers helped a bit but the game still ****es up sometimes when I have the robot mission i the begining, so I can´t play anyways. My friend can play it but I can´t on my comp. This just sucks........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceAlex Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 There is a problem with dual core proc and Nvidia drivers. In the 8X.XX driver release they added support for dual core, and ever since KOTOR won't work at all, or will work at very low framerates. I have a dual core X2 4400+, OC to 2.8Ghz and i had the same problem. Until recently, i fixed the problem by modifying the boot.ini (i added /numproc=1 to make windows use only one core). But there's no need to do that anymore, because Nvidia released a BETA driver that fixes the problem completley. You can download the driver here: http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_rel70betadriver.html. If this driver doesn't fix your problem, then there's something else wrong with your game. If you already tried these drivers and they didn't fix your problem, try the boot.ini trick. Edit: Here's a change log for 84.12 drivers: • Windows XP, GeForce 7800 GTX: Dell 30ʺ panel DVI link hot plug does not work properly. • Windows XP: Corel Paint Shop Pro X does not work on dual-core processors. • GeForce 7 Series, GeForce 6 Series: Resolutions higher than 1280x800 are unavailable on the Dell 3007WFP panel with dual-link DVI GPUs. • GeForce 7 Series, GeForce 6 Series: Serious Sam 2 freezes on Dual Core CPUs. • GeForce 7800 GTX/GT 512: 4x AA does not work at 2560x1600 on the Apple 30ʺ Cinema display. • GeForce 7800 GTX/GT: Reflective surfaces in Max Payne 2 are unaffected by light sources. • GeForce 7 Series, GeForce 6800: The NVIDIA Dawn Ultra demo runs slowly on AGP systems. • GeForce 7 Series: Global profile options are changed when changing individual application profiles. • GeForce 7 Series: There is no default color-correction option available in the application profiles. By design, the default setting for color profiles is “Not A • GeForce 6800, Windows XP: Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic 1 and 2 stutter badly with dual core CPUs. • GeForce 6600, Windows XP Media Center Edition: Component out options are not available in the NVIDIA TV Device Settings page.

Now I actualy can play. Overclocked CPU might actually be the problem here. Some games just don't like OC. I know i had a lot of problems with some games (not all), when i OCed my CPU to 2.9 ghz (it won't go any higher than that). I don't have any problems at 2.8ghz though.

ExstaZ Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 I will try that. Nove I have goten to a point where I can´t even play. It´s in the begining when you are on the ship that dockes with the station and the woman that are with you runs away to fight that Sith dude. I get stuck all the time and they jump from one side of the room to the other all the time so I can´t even complete it to go somwhere else LOL Hope it works with lower speed on the CPU, because know when I played some more I just starting to rember how it was to play: SWKotOR 1 and wich skills and forces that are the best ones The creating stuff in this game is much bether also, alot more to create. I like that, I´m going to check out some guides but not until I get the game to run as I wan´t or else I will go crazy over not being able to play this great game.

SpaceAlex Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Take a look here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=161045&highlight=hotfix . Download the AMD drivers first. If they don't fix anything, install the microsoft patch. Create a system resore point and backup your registry, prior installing anything though.
