SD Nihil Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 If you do reinstall I wouldn't just simply grab the dll fix. I'd do all the directions above. Even the parts where you install the game through compatibilty mode. Just all of it. I don't think it can hurt. Sorry if I misunderstood you, but it sounds like your just wanting to put in the dll fix and that's all. As for the NVIDA fixes I'd do them only if you still have problems. Its just smart to do one thing and check the results. Not do multiple things. If you do multiple things how will you know what action you took that made it worse. Just a smart way of troubleshooting a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 ya i am just just trying put in the dll fix for now to see if i can get it to work but can you tell me if what i posted above is the file directory? and to Astro, my apologies for bugging you i am just getting desperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 What youve listed is part of a config file. The 'root directory' is simply the FOLDER KOTOR/2 is installed in ie. from post #1 7. Once that file is downloaded, place it in your KotOR II's root file directory, eg: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR2. please re-read posts 1 and 2 of this thread. Qliveur also has links for securom fixes, which may address your emulation errors. mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I've also provided a link to the DirectX Redistributable Package. I don't think that the importance of installing this in Vista has been stressed enough. As shipped, Vista does not include a full install of DX9.0c AFAIK. I believe that DX10's backward-compatibility with DX9 is less than stellar, and that this may be the source of some of the problems that KotOR has with it. The DirectX Redistributable Package will provide a full install of DX9.0c for Vista that is separate from DX10 and won't conflict with it. I don't think that this was sufficiently addressed because updates of this type come as second nature to people like us (I won't speak for anyone else here, but yes, I'm a geek ), but they might not to others.

Legendz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 thanks for the help guys i finally got it, haha i feel like an idiot, that was unbeleivably easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 So you need this Redistributable that you gave instead of just installing DX10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It's recommended, as the redistributable includes libraries from earlier versions of DirectX that DX10 might not use. Basically, it's to patch up any compatibility issues that might arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I see. So I download DX10 and then this Redistributable, correct? Sorry its a dumb question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Nope, just the redistributable, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You believe. So lets just say I installed the redistributable first and it didn't put in DX10. At that point would it work to then install DX10 or would I have to uninstall this redistributable and put in D10 and the redistiributable in that order?

Q Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 It installs/updates both DX9 and DX10 if you have Vista. If you have XP it will only install/update DX9. The redistributable that I linked to works for either OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yep, the redist package(Mar 2009 being the latest) will update both DX10/DX9 in vista and only DX9 in xp(as Q mentioned). If you want to see what updates it contains, unpacking it(using winrar etc) will show the contents. Windows 7(beta) has DX11(and some degree of backwards compatibility), but I havent gotten around to testing KOTOR in it yet mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I see. Just have DX10 and the Redistributable. Yes this is for Vista 64 Bit. Thanks. Yeah I don't get it though about this Windows 7. I mean Microsoft just came out with Vista. Why make another OS if there are still some that have not moved to Vista yet. Oh well. But wow DX11 is already out. DX11 doesn't work on Vista does it? Also I'm not sure if that dll fix file is being hosted on filefront , but if it is being hosted on FF then someone needs to get that file hosted somewhere else so we don't lose it on this thread when FF goes down. Lets relocate the dll file if its hosted on FF before its too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Just have DX10 and the Redistributable. You will only need to download and install the redistributable, regardless of your OS. Vista came out 2 years ago. It will have been 3 years once Windows 7 is released. IIRC, DX11 will be made available for Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Oh i see. Because Vista contains already DX10 and XP already contains DX9 and that's why for the two you just download the Redistributable. So when will DX11 be available for Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm not sure, but probably around the same time that Windows7 is released, which will probably be sometime nest year(?). I think it's great. As least we don't have to worry about Vista becoming obsolete for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 So how do I tell then what DX version I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peral Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Okay...so I did the Mss32.dll thing and had the program crash on me. The "this operation has been aborted" thing. Then I read on and saw there was something about a fix especially for NVIDIA video cards? I think I may be blind, but where do I find this?

Q Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Try opening "swkotor(2).ini with Notepad in your game's main folder. Under "Graphics Options" enter "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" without the quotes, save and exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neocorteqz Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Is there any issues with save games being deleted with KOTOR II? I go to play a saved game and it says that there are no saved games. Running Vista Ultimate x64. With fixes in main post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neocorteqz Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 So how do I tell then what DX version I have? Click run in the start menu and type dxdiag. your version will be listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I've heard of them being corrupted, but not deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I have two problems while trying to play this game on Vista: The first one, is the sound problem. I've replaced the Mss32.dll a lot of times but nothing. Followed the instructions here, and nothing. I only can launch the game with the Sound Disabled. The second problem is the game get's another "stop working" error after creating my character. When the opening crawl ends, I come back to the desktop automatically. My System: Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1.86 Ghz 3Gb RAM 250Gb Hard Disk Intel GMA X3100 Graphic Card If anyone can help me, I will be very thankfull.
