Celestial Kitten Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hello! <3 I recently purchased both KotoR and TSL from my local retailer (pawn shop?) and I am greatly enjoying the game! However... I have been running into a few strange issues. First off, my FPS is great. I experience no lag whatsoever, no graphical glitches, etc. Second off, I have a Quad Core Processor and two dual Nvidia SLI cards (I do not use SLI for a reason, however). I am also using Windows XP with SP 1 - 3. Okay, here we go: My first two crashes are experienced on the Endar Spire. The first one happens after the cutscene where the Sith Soldiers grenade the Republic Soldiers (and before/during the point where the droid explodes infront of the door you cannot open, just before you see your first Jedi/Sith fighting.) The If I run by this area without wasting time picking things up, I can evade the crash, but its a continuing problem. Second crash happens before you enter the room (at the end of the level) with the Elite Sith Warrior (red armor) if I use the droid to attack, everything is fine, but if I splice into the computer and overload the conduit, Just after the cutscene ends (after the explosion and when I'm about to exit to the game screen) the game crashes with another send/don't send windows error report. Originally I could not get past this point, but then someone suggested I turn off a program I have on my computer (It was a ISO program called Daemon Hunt for burning my music or whatever) and it ran fine. However, I started experiences random crashes in the later levels, this includes all over Taris at random intervals (which I suspect were greatly related to my constant alt-tabbing). However, now I have barely any background programs running, and I am stuck on Dantooine in the Spider Cave where the lightsaber crystals are. I have found no way to avoid this crash to the desktop, for everytime I load the save (right before I get to the room) and go into the room, the game crashes. I suspect it has something to do with the spiders themselves or some sort of graphics problem? Please help me? I really love this game ;-; [sWKotOR] ReportDateTime=2/8/2009 12:06:53 AM SysInfoVersion=v1.00.60 GameExists=1 GameVersion=v1.03.514077 GameInstallLocation=C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR\ [OS] Name=WinXP Version=Windows XP v5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 3 Service Pack=Service Pack 3 Status=Pass [swapFiles] C:\pagefile.sys=2046 [CPU] CPUCount=1 CPUSpeed=2660 CPUFamily=6 CPUModel=15 CPUStepping=7 CPUVendor=Intel CPUName=Intel® Core2 Quad CPU @ 2.66GHz Status=Pass [Memory] RAM=2048 Status=Pass [Disk Free Space] C: (NTFS), UNICODE=514.50GB Status=Pass [CD-ROMs] DriveLetters=D:\,E:\ Drives=TSSTcorp CDRWDVD TS-H493B,TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653A [Video] Video Card Name=NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX Video Memory=1024 Desktop Resolution=1680x1050x32 @ 59Hz DirectX=DirectX (9.0+) (4.09.00.0904) OpenGL Version=2.1.2 OpenGL Vendor=NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Renderer=GeForce 8800 GTX/PCI/SSE2 NVidia Driver=6.14.11.8122 Vid Card Status=Warning Vid Card Driver Status=Pass GL Status=Pass DX Status=Pass [Audio] Sound Card Name=Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM) Status=Pass ;Game Options from swkotor.ini [sound Options] Sound Init=0 Music Volume=85 Voiceover Volume=85 Sound Effects Volume=85 Movie Volume=100 Force Software=0 EAX=3 Disable Sound=0 Number 3D Voices=16 Number 2D Voices=24 Environment Effects Level=0.60 2D3D Bias=1.50 Environment Effects=1 Environment Effects Nonstreaming=1 Environment Effects Streaming=1 [Game Options] GUIsInScreenShot=1 EnableScreenShot=0 Reverse Mouse Buttons=0 Hide InGame GUI=0 Use Small Fonts=0 Keyboard Camera Deceleration=2000.000000 Keyboard Camera Acceleration=500.000000 Keyboard Camera DPS=200.000000 Hide Unequippable=0 Tutorial Popups=0 Subtitles=1 Mini Map=1 Floating Numbers=1 Status Summary=1 Enable Mouse Teleporting To Buttons=1 Mouse Sensitivity=33 Auto Level Up NPCs=0 Mouse Look=0 AutoSave=1 Reverse Minigame YAxis=0 Combat Movement=1 Enable Tooltips=1 Difficulty Level=1 TooltipDelay Sec=1.000000 Memory Access=1 Memory Level=1 Disable Movies=0 EnableCheats=1 [Movies Shown] Movie 0=112 Movie 1=47 Movie 2=0 Movie 3=0 Movie 4=7 Movie 5=0 Movie 6=0 Movie 7=0 Movie 8=0 Movie 9=0 Movie10=0 [Alias] HD0=.\ OVERRIDE=.\Override TEMP=.\Temp MODULES=.\Modules LOGS=.\Logs LOCALVAULT=.\LocalVault DMVAULT=.\DMVault SERVERVAULT=.\ServerVault STREAMMUSIC=.\StreamMusic TEMPCLIENT=.\Tempclient SAVES=.\saves CURRENTGAME=.\currentgame TEXTUREPACKS=.\texturepacks STREAMWAVES=.\StreamWaves [Graphics Options] V-Sync=1 Anisotropy=8 Frame Buffer=1 Anti Aliasing=4 Texture Quality=2 Emitters=1 Grass=1 Soft Shadows=1 Shadows=1 Brightness=57 EnableHardwareMouse=1 FullScreen=1 RefreshRate=60 Width=1680 Height=1050 [Autopause Options] Mine Sighted=0 End Of Combat Round=0 Enemy Sighted=1 Party Killed=0 Action Menu=0 New Target Selected=1 [config] firstrun=0 [Keymapping] Action286B=8 Action286A=7 Action285B=10 Action285A=9 Action284B=54 Action284A=51 Action283B=54 Action283A=51 Action282B=69 Action282A=73 Action281B=53 Action281A=76 Action280B=69 Action280A=73 Action265=52 Action264=57 Action263=43 Action262=85 Action261=84 Action260=83 Action259=82 Action258=81 Action257=80 Action256=79 Action255=78 Action254=77 Action253=31 Action245=75 Action244=55 Action243=67 Action242=74 Action241=87 Action240=56 Action239=68 Action238=82 Action236=83 Action234=81 Action232=80 Action230=79 Action228=78 Action226=77 Action225=70 Action224=90 Action223=31 Action222=25 Action221=24 Action220=29 Action219=28 Action218=42 Action217=87 Action216=65 Action215=63 Action214=62 Action213=60 Action212=61 Action211=66 Action210=59 Action209=71 Action208=89 Action207=72 Action206=30 Action205=55 Action204=67 ---Specs--- Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

Onihikage Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I had exactly the same crashes with exactly the same timing until I did this: After starting the game, press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to bring up the task manager. Right-click "Knights of the Old Republic" under the applications list and select "Go to process." Right click on the highlighted process (probably something like kotor.exe) and select "Set Affinity..." In the dialog box that comes up, deselect all but one core. Then return to the game and see what happens ^/_\^ Just remember that you'll need to do this every time you start the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I don't know because I'm still stuck with a single-core ATM, but is there any way that you can permanently set core affinity by right-clicking on "swkotor.exe" and selecting "Properties?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 No. To permanently set it you need a registry entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
