hedop Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 No idea whether this is the right thread but after I applied the changes I mentioned earlier in my thread I was able to play until Dantooine but now the game starts crashing my AMD driver every 5-10 minutes when I'm hiking through the planes. A little help would be appreciated what might cause this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Thanks. The guide is actually due for a serious overhaul, and should be far easier to follow once it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:Lord Revan:. Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hey I installed Kotor 1 and 2 and so far they are running with no problem, is there anything I should be worried about; like a crash somewhere in the middle of the game?

Q Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 There are places where you can get your discs buffed or you can contact LucasArts for a new set. Or you can get it brand spanking new for $10.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jertruax Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I hope somebody can help. I performed all of the fixes in post #2 except the Dantooine lag fix (I'll do that later). The game hasn't crashed once since then. The problem is the game will not load manual saves. It loads auto saves just fine. I wouldn't care except I can't usually devote that much time to the game at one time. I searched and couldn't find an answer.

Q Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Are the manual saves from a previous installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jertruax Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Are the manual saves from a previous installation? Nope, I bought the game years ago when I had an XP machine. I installed it once about a year ago and discovered the crashing problem. I uninstalled it and forgot about it until I was cleaning out a cupboard and re-discovered it. I figured I would search for a solution so I could play it since the first one was a blast.. Thanks for responding so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It might help if I took a look under the hood. Try using the game's configuration utility to post your system specs: 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: If you're using Vista or Windows 7, go into your game folder, find "launcher.exe" and right-click on it. Select "properties", then "compatibility" and check the box beside "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". Then check the box next to "Run this program administrator" and hit "OK". (EDIT by Q) Bring up the launcher menu for Kotor 1 or 2 (by running "launcher.exe"). 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. You can leave out the keymapping and everything after that.

Q Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If it's skipping through conversations, exiting the game and restarting it will usually fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Content Mod installed. New exe installed. Supposedly set the game to run on a single cpu core. Standard issue of going through character creation and opening movie and crashing the moment the game world starts to load. Attempts to load the game with lower graphics settings have been made and it crashes just as quickly as the higher settings enabled. I hope the issue is something simple since I've installed twice so far while following the steps in the large print post and still have ended up stuck unable to get past character creation. EDIT: Attempted to get the game running properly using the original .exe and crashed in the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 GameVersion=v2.00.424 This tells me that, for whatever reason, your game is not properly patched. You could have the UK version, in which case you'll have to reinstall (again; I know ) and use the two UK patches. The links are in the second post of the Vista thread. You appear to have done everything else right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You appear to have done everything else right. Definitely not what I wanted to hear, but that leaves me trying to figure out why I did not have to do the same thing when I went through with the install on my old Vista laptop. Also have to wonder how a copy of the game that was bought in the US could have ended up being the UK version of the game. I still remember the trouble I went through to make it work on there and it wasnt half as bad as all the issues slapping me in the face now.

Q Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, this is kinda weird. Is the US patch doing anything unusual when you apply it? Are you making sure to run it in XP SP2 compatibility mode and as an administrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Shiokawa Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm getting a patch error with the UK 1.0a patch. Keeps saying its not finding an old file, but says that a file with the same name is being found. Running 1.0a patch in XP SP2 compatability mode and as admin to no effect. The US patch refused to work when I used it with the provided new exe, but worked like a charm with the original exe in place. EDIT: UK 1.0a patch absolutely refuses to work. Went and ran a 4th install after the patch failed to work on the 3rd time through. Set it to XPSP2 compatibility and ran it as admin. Still getting the same error "Old file not found. However a newer file of the same name was found. No update done since contents do not match." I'm about ready to destroy something because this sort of stupidity is why I went to consoles and stayed with them. I'd love to find out why my blasted AMERICAN bought game isnt the US version and that the UK version that it looks like wont even take a single damn patch. I'm ready to take a shotgun to the useless game I have on my hands because its doing nothing but making my blood pressure and temper find new heights. EDIT2: Attempting US 1.0b patch again. If that fails, I'll look up the so called 1.0c patch someone told me about that was on piratebay and try that. EDIT3: US 1.0b patch ran smoothly on fresh unmodified, read as: step 3 of large print install instructions. No errors and when finished autoran the Readme file for the patch. Question that just came to mind since the autoupdater for kotor2 says I have ver. 2.10.427. Could installing the Removed Content Mod be reverting it back to a previous version?
