Darth Ayebaw Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Okay, the game came in the mail today. I installed it, I have the play disc in, and I can start the game and create my character, but after the floating text, the screen goes black, then I get an error message and the program must close. I've restarted my comp, and tried the game a couple of times, and nothing works. What's wrong?

DarthParametric Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You're using an integrated Intel graphics chip, and in a laptop at that. That would be the likely suspect. They aren't even useful as a boot scraper, much less as a gaming GPU. Might also be worth trying it with sound disabled, as I haven't seen that sound chip before. Sound can occasionally cause all sorts of screwy behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You're using an integrated Intel graphics chip, and in a laptop at that. That would be the likely suspect.My thoughts as well. Also, make a copy of swkotor2.ini. Rename the copy swkotor2.ini - BACKUP or something like that. Open the copy that isn't a backup and find [Display Options]. Change Width and Height from 640 and 480 respectively to 800 and 600. Now find [Graphics Options]. Change FullScreen=0 to FullScreen=1 Now your [Display Options] and your [Graphics Options] match. Dunno if this will fix your problem, but at least we'll be able to eliminate it as a potential source. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Ayebaw Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Nope, I just tried that and it didn't work. I found this post: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/detail.php?board=920601&topic=47625084&message=521445157 when I asked for help on GameFAQs... is he correct? If no, is there no way I can play?

Achilles Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I would check on the LucasArts website to verify if you don't believe him. If he's correct, then you won't be able to play the game on your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Ayebaw Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Is there no way at all to upgrade a graphics card/chip/whatever on a laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Most likely, no. Laptops aren't exactly designed to be upgraded the way a desktop PC is. Some manufacturers might allow for video card upgrades in their higher end machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Also DA, I have deleted your off-topic thread that is a clone of this post in the Padawan's Lounge, please do not post posts or threads in more than one place it is considered a form of spam. The Work Bench is the place for issues like this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 is there no way I can play?Getting it to run on an Intel chipset is dicey. Your best bet may be to dig out the driver discs that came with the laptop and install the video card drivers. You want the oldest ones possible, although judging by your version of OpenGL (1.4) your currently installed set is already pretty old. Might be worth trying this - http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-008649.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
