Q Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yes. It's just a newer version of the drivers. AMD/ATI are notoriously bad with the KotOR games, and it usually comes down to finding the right drivers. Unfortunately it's hit or miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet_Sage Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have a laptop with win 7 home premium Dual core 2.10 GHz and 3 GB RAM 32 bit My graphic card is Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express chipset family My problem: The games works perfectly until i start a new game and create a charachter. It crashes after the STAR WARS intro. I Know many have this problem and some claimed to solve it. But i've tried everything on this thread so far and even on other forums: Compatibilty to both .exe files were set to WIN XP SP 2 I tried numerous dll files and it still doesen't work. It is most likely i'm doing something wrong i guess... So, can anyone help me please? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denzle Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 At my wits end with this game. Tried for years to get it to work. Finally got a job and able to buy it, but it seems not even a legal copy will work. I've followed all the steps and it seems to run just fine, until after the opening scene where it shows the wrecked Ebon Hawk flying towards the station when the gameplay starts. I immediately get error saying that swkotor2.exe has stopped working. I'm running on a Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit. Here's my hardware scan.

Prophet_Sage Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 'm not sure. How do I check if it is the US Version? I Reinstalled the whole thing. Patched it (US version - 4cds!) and it still doesen't work. Same problems: When you choose a new charachter and press play the game crashes after intro.

Same problems: When you choose a new charachter and press play the game crashes after intro. So, I got mine working! I feel so stupid now, it was there in the instructions. Prophet_Sage, I don't know if it will work for you or you've tried it, but reread step 9. Particularly the bottom part: "If the game still crashes right after character creation after completing the installation, try using the the original .exe instead of the one from SecuROM. If that doesn't work, there is a link in Step #6 that will allow you to contact SecuROM and request a new .exe." - Q I used the original .exe and it's working fine now ^_^ Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 OK, I suspect that your game is not the US version. Reinstall the game from scratch and start over. Sorry about that. Before patching or anything else, go into your game folder, right-click on swkotor2.exe, select "properties" then "details" and look for "language". I'm pretty sure that this is how you check which version you have. If it is the UK version, you'll have to apply two patches; 1.0a, then 1.0b.

Denzle Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Q is most likely right, I'm not a computer guru nor a KotOR expert. Far from it.

I have an Us version (it says my language is English (USA)). I trued patching it with those two files but it didn't work. I wrote to SecuRom, but it's seems to be a dead end, since they wont me uninstall deamon tools and simular programs which they claim is interfearing with KOTOR2... bull****. Well i trued everything and I just think it wont work for me i guess... I've even tried the cracks on the internet and now i have 5 different exe's in my swkotors2 directory and neither of them works. I'm giving up i guess.

Qui-Gon Glenn Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 ^^^^ Pay attention and read the thread, or pay the price!!!! You said you have a US version, yet you went ahead and tried patching with the UK patches.... Nuke your installation. Reinstall according to directions. Actually read them.

Q Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 ^Yeah, I agree with this. I have an Us version (it says my language is English (USA)).

I've even tried the cracks on the internet and now i have 5 different exe's in my swkotors2 directory and neither of them works. I'm giving up i guess. The game wasn't properly patched in the first place, so that's probably why the SecuROM-updated .exe wouldn't work. That particular .exe was the only one that I could get to work on my laptop which has an Intel chipset. Others have had success using the original .exe from the patched game and not the SecuROM one. None of the no-cd cracks could get me past the first movie, so the widescreen mod was out of the question. As a matter of fact, I've said as much (in big, bold, red letters) in post #2.

Lando Jeffrini Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Found this forum after my Kotor game (Best of PC) locked up. The game loaded and started fine, but when I got the Swoop Platform races in order to free Bastilla, the game locked up when loading the next area (approx 75% load). I have uninstalled and reinstalled, changed the dll file, installed and ran w XP service pack 2 and as an admin, plus did the shortcut to the startup.exe in admin, and it still locks up in the same place. Tried to disable vertex buffer objects, but the file will not let me change or add anything. Think it's time to finally give up, which sucks because Kotor was the game I wanted to play the most in the pack. ANYONE have any other suggestions? Also, when I do a system check, it indicates that drive Q is empty and fails. Odd because as far as I know, there is no drive Q. Help!
