[KoTOR 1][WinXP] crashes on Gun Turret after the Levithian


Razzerian

Recommended Posts

This is a double post as I also posted it as a responce to another topic, but just to make sure it doesn't get looked over:

 

I tried changing the .ini file but it keeps crashing for me...

 

I've just ended up after the Levithian and I'm in the gun turret, it keeps crashing everytime I finisht he minigame int he transition to the next video or loading screen or whatever.. (I am not sure since then my crash pop-up spams the screen...

 

I have Nvidia GTX 260 1024 mb 3D card. (the hardware checked gives a "warning!" at my graphics card -> riiiiight...)

3GB ram and a 32bit processor

Using XP service pack 2..

You might wonder "How the hell did you get so far in the game without crashes?"

 

Well.. I got loads of them I just saved A LOT and when I knew I was gonna get a crash from previous experiences I just saved a fraction of a second before it would crash and then restart from that point on. Sadly that is not possible when you're manning the gun turret..

 

 

This is seriously letting me down, I started playing KoTOR two like a year ago but never got around to play KoTOR one... Bought it a few weeks a go on the interwebz but it keeps crashing...

 

I mean come on, an original game should not crash and if it does there should be some propper support for it even if it is 6 years old I still payed for the bloody thing >.<

You'll need to do two things. First, the Dantooine lag fix:

  • First, figure out where the .ini is installed. Default is "C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\swkotor(2)\swkotor(2).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.

Second, you'll need to assign CPU affinity every time you launch the game:

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 (sw)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.

Please post your specs using the game's configuration utility:

You tell me

Am I?

Yes, you are. You certainly have a funky custom theme going on, there. :)

And this is what I'm (still) getting

OK, what's this "just in time debugger" s***? Obviously, there's a conflict, there.

Well, that's most likely your problem. You're going to have to figure out a way to completely get rid of it. Look for any leftover files and folders and delete them, then download CCleaner and use its registry cleaner to mop up any leftover registry keys.
