DeereX Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi all. I have KOTOR II for XP, and re-installed it on our new computer today. I've played it before, and decided to start a new game.. problem is: After about 10-20 minutes of gameplay, the game just freezes. I have to restart the computer. I updated it to the latest patch from the menu.. I tried to put the refresh rate down from the configure menu, but that didn't help. Any help on this would be much appreciated. thanks a lot.

stingerhs Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 hmm, you could try getting the latest video drivers from Nvidia to see if that will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeereX Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks for the help, but it didn't seem to work. I got the latest driver, went back and played for about 30 minutes, and it worked fine, then I went to play again, and after five minutes, the computer froze again. very confusing. I don't understand at all. The game worked fine for me on my old computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 If your entire computer freezes (not just the game) and you can't do anything but hit the power or reset button on the computer then it's quite possible you've got a hardware problem. You say you installed TSL on a new computer. Did you buy it from a manufacturer like Dell or HP, or have someone build it for you. Have you installed any additional computer components of late, e.g. but not limited to video card, RAM, hard drive on the new system? I bought a new computer last year and my entire system would lock up when playing TSL. Then I tried Jedi Academy and it would have the same problem. I don't know exactly what was wrong with it but I ended up sending the system back to the manufacturer for a refund 3 days after I received it and built my own system instead.

stingerhs Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 hmm, have you done a virus/spyware scan recently?? its not that it could be the direct problem, instead i'm thinking that it could be a memory problem as viruses and spyware can easily take up quite a bit of memory. you could also check to see what programs are running in the backround. disabling any firewalls, virus scanners, instant messenger programs, et cetera will also help to free up memory. part of the problem is also likely due to a memory leak which is something that neither you nor i can fix. it is a problem that i had to deal with on my old computer with the first game, and i can say from experience that just simply restarting the computer after a crash will fix the problem for a while. its annoying as heck, but it does work.

DeereX Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Thanks for the help, guys. It seems like nothing is working though. I restart the computer, and I seem to get more time until it freezes.. Guess I'l have to play 20 minutes at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
