7800 GT problem

[HuiJun]

Hey all, I seem to be having a problem with KOTOR. First off, I have a nvidia 7800 GT with the latest drivers. When I run the hardware scan, I pass everything except the graphics, which gives me a warning. Here's the result of the test.

Well the game seems to run fine but it looks like the textures are off. Here is a screenshot of what the opening walls and floors and ceilings look like.

 

 

 

 

First off, I'm wondering, is this normally how it is supposed to look? Is it because the game does not recognize my driver? If so, how can I fix this? Thanks for any help you can offer.

[DarthParametric]

The game doesn't like the version of OpenGL in newer drivers. Roll back to an earlier set. Ones from a year or so ago should work better.

[HuiJun]

damn that sucks. I wish there was a patch, but I'm guessing they stopped supporting this game? so everytime I feel like playing this I have to roll back drivers. >_<

 

Thanks for the info.
