Game Crash..

[Red_legged_devil]

Hello....

 

I'm haveing a game crash every time it loads to a new part of the game or new plot....Now i did a hardware test and it gave me a yellow dot....my computer is new....it doent give a type of error that im aware of...But sometimes when i use a party member i can go into the next level with out a crash or freez....i've lowerd the settings to almost nouthing and still i get this error its almost made the game unplayable....

 

My card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512.

 

It recommends an ATI Radean 9200 or Gforce4 ti or better??? Arent thease old cards? i just got this computer start of this year....Is there anything i can do to fix this issue? I'm on KOTOR 2 i had this problim to a limited degree with the first game useing this same computer and card...but not so offten it happend once i went into the caves on korraban thats the last one i can recall from the first game i fixed it by useing anouther party memeber to go in first....this time it works sometimes im on onderon....going in and out of the canteena and when the plot is moved forword by the AI it will crash no matter what party memeber im useing...

 

So Please help if there is any to be had:((

Post your system specs

Sometimes we're just not going to be able to help you if we don't know what kind of hardware you have on your machine. If you don't know what you have on your machine, then follow these steps below:

Bring up the launcher menu for Kotor 1 or 2.

Click on "Configure".

Click the "Scan Hardware" button on the lower center of the window.

Click "Yes" to continue.

Click "Details" to view your system specs.

Click "Save Report" and save the file to your desktop.

Whenever you post your problem, open the file you just saved and copy and paste the contents to your post.

 

Sorry if I seem smarta$$ed, but this gets old after about the 50th time.

 

I'm sure your video card is fine, but we need to see if the game is reporting any more errors or problems before we can help.

I am also having this same problem with KOTOR 1 & 2 I have a similar card and had the hopes of running this game at max settings but as of now I can't even get past the New Game screen if I am lucky. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think KotOR's hardware scanning feature can be trusted...at least with the video card. Newer cards can easily play this game on max resolutions and settings just fine, yet it always gives the yellow warning anyway. Those of you with the GeForce 8800 series of cards can ignore that warning. Perhaps your drivers need updating.
