Help Walking controls in KOTOR 2 Stops working.

[Mezmoin]

Morning As I play KoToR 2 after combat sometimes I become unable to move with the wsad controls, but I can move around if there is items to select since it still registers with a click. Does anyone Have a fix for this, because it would help if I didnt have to save/load 20 times to do one mission since saving/loading is the only fix that makes the character controlable again through the keyboard. Again any help would be appreicated.

If your character is completely frozen, I would first try pressing escape, that is what I do to resolve the character freezing bug with the Skip Peragus mod? If that does not work, I need to know if after you press any of the walk/run direction keys your character is completely frozen or it takes a minute or two to respond and you end up on the other side of the room. Providing this info will help.

Well it is not a freeze due to hardware, as I dont experience any lag, the problem is one minute I will be walking/run with wsad keys and I will go into combat, after the combat all my functions work, except the wsad keys.

 

I am playing this game plan jane style no mods, no hacks, no cheats.

 

So pretty much my only hot fix that I have fount around this is like I said, to save the game then reload it, and it will get annoying because well, sometimes I have to do it after every fight.

Have you updated the game? It also could be a corrupt install. Did anything happen, anything at all happen, to your computer when you were installing the game? I mean anything, a new program start, you had a program open and then closed it, your computer refreshed.

[Mezmoin]

believe I updated but could be wrong and about the corrupt install, dont think it is that because I already uninstalled reinstalled like 2-3 times.

Well, if its updated and not a corrupt install, It might be your computer not having enough resources to keep supporting the keyboard when running the game. I encountered this bug in my old computer. Be sure to close all other programs running in the background. I found out that any type of internet browser really slows it down. If you can't close all programs try running the game at a lower resolution such as 1024x768.

I have the exact same problem. It has happened to me with both KOTOR 1 and 2. Im sure its not a hardware issue, might be no cd crack but idk.

Try turning on V-Sync. I had the same problem. This fixed it.

Either that, or the Dantooine lag fix:

• First, figure out where the .ini is installed. Default is "C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\swkotor2\swkotor2.ini". If its not in that location, then your going to have to do some searching around on the hard drive a bit.
  
• When you find it, just double-click on the file to open it in Notepad.
  
• Scroll down the file until you find the Graphics Options
  
• Under the last line ("last line" as in the last line of the list of entries under "Graphics Options", not the last line of "swkotor(2).ini), add "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1", without the quotes.
  
• Goto File, then Save.

Or both.
