Light Phoenix Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi, guys! I've seen lots of topics, similar to this one, and saw that some of you could help me out. Well, I have Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32-bit, DualCore2Duo E6550, 2333 MHz. My videocard is NVIDIA GeForce 8600GTS. I've got my hand on KOTOR 2 many years ago and played it well on XP SP2. But now that I have Windows 7 I have graphics issues. Earlier my videocard allowed me to play on the highest quality without crashing at all. But now my Win7 and videocard is not recognizible at all. Below I attached Config Report from KOTOR 2: [sWKotOR] ReportDateTime=27.07.2011 12:19:38 SysInfoVersion=v1.00.60 GameExists=1 GameVersion=v2.00.424 GameInstallLocation=D:\games\Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic 2\ [OS] Name=WinXP Version=Windows XP v5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 2 Service Pack=Service Pack 2 Status=Pass [swapFiles] ?:\pagefile.sys=0 [CPU] CPUCount=1 CPUSpeed=2329 CPUFamily=6 CPUModel=15 CPUStepping=11 CPUVendor=Intel CPUName=Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz Status=Pass [Memory] RAM=1024 Status=Pass [Disk Free Space] C: (NTFS), UNICODE=4.69GB D: (NTFS), UNICODE=52.27GB Status=Pass [CD-ROMs] DriveLetters=E:\,F:\ Drives=ASUS DRW-1814BLT ATA Device [Video] Video Card Name=RDPDD Chained DD Video Memory=1024 Desktop Resolution=0x0x0 DirectX=DirectX 9.0c (4.09.00.0904) OpenGL Version=3.3.0 OpenGL Vendor=NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Renderer=GeForce 8600 GTS/PCI/SSE2 NVidia Driver=(null) Vid Card Status=Warning Vid Card Driver Status=Fail GL Status=Pass DX Status=Pass [Audio] Sound Card Name=Primary sound driver Status=Pass ;Game Options from swkotor2.ini [Display Options] FullScreen=1 [Graphics Options] Anisotropy=1 Frame Buffer=0 Grass=1 Soft Shadows=0 Shadows=1 Brightness=57 FullScreen=1 V-Sync=0 EnableHardwareMouse=1 RefreshRate=60 Width=1280 Height=1024 Texture Quality=0 Anti Aliasing=0 [config] firstrun=0 [sound Options] Music Volume=85 Voiceover Volume=85 Sound Effects Volume=85 Movie Volume=85 Number 3D Voices=32 Number 2D Voices=32 2D3D Bias=1.00 EAX=0 Sound Init=0 Disable Sound=0 Force Software=1 [Game Options] UnlockedPlanetSongs=1 Enable Tooltips=0 Keyboard Camera Deceleration=2000.000000 Keyboard Camera Acceleration=500.000000 Keyboard Camera DPS=200.000000 TextureVariation=0 BodyVariation=0 AppearanceType=0 PCGender=0 GameCompleted=0 CurSithLord=0 Hide InGame GUI=0 Use Small Fonts=0 Hide Unequippable=0 Tutorial Popups=1 Subtitles=1 Mini Map=1 Floating Numbers=1 Status Summary=1 Enable Mouse Teleporting To Buttons=1 Mouse Sensitivity=44 Difficulty Level=1 Auto Level Up NPCs=0 Mouse Look=0 AutoSave=1 EnableScreenShot=0 Reverse Mouse Buttons=0 Reverse Ingame YAxis=0 Reverse Minigame YAxis=0 Combat Movement=1 TooltipDelay Sec=1 Disable Movies=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 Action268=52 Action265=58 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=60 Action213=62 Action212=61 Action211=66 Action210=59 Action209=71 Action208=89 Action207=72 Action206=30 Action205=55 Action204=67 [Autopause Options] End Of Combat Round=0 Mine Sighted=0 Enemy Sighted=1 Party Killed=1 Action Menu=0 New Target Selected=1 [Movies Shown] Movie10=1 Movie 9=1 Movie 8=1 Movie 7=1 Movie 6=1 Movie 5=1 Movie 4=1 Movie 3=1 Movie 2=1 Movie 1=1 Movie 0=5 As you can see my videocard is seen as "RDPDD Chained DD" which is not good for the game. I also did everything Astrotoy7 and Q said in this topic http://64.20.36.211/showthread.php?t=194324, by this I mean using compatibility installation and starting a game with XP SP2, patched the game through, replaced file mss32.dll. In the game issues are seen through out as the following: 1. All movies are seen as shortcuts and not whole-screen. 2. I at first started a game with highest quality but starting the Prologue game was bugging so great that I figured that Frame Buffer Effects, Soft Shadows and V-Sync is preventing it. I disabled them, but on Peragus II it still crashed through out - difficulties with moving, Jedi Exile freezes while running, even though I had to lower quality to the lowest. The same goes for KOTOR 1, but I didn't try it out right now with compatibility and replacing the files in main directory. Can anyone help me out, please!

Q Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You need to do the Dantooine lag fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Phoenix Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 But as I heard it's only connected with ATI Radeon cards, and I don't really have it. My card is NVIDIA, and I doubt that installing latest Catalyst drivers will even fit. Or maybe I am mistaken? Or you meant to Disable Vertex Buffer Objects in swkotor.ini? If so - I already tried that. And also - Disable Vertex Buffer Shaders=1 in [Graphics Options]. Plus - Environment Effects Streaming=0 in [sound Options]. When setting highest priority through Task Manager game glitched and switched off, so I guess it's not the best solution. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The fix needs to be in there, regardless of your video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
