mrmonkeybiz231 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hey all, I did the Dantooine lag fix in the first Kotor and it did nothing to help improve the lag on Dantooine, or for that matter, the forest floor on Kashyyyk. While I do not have the greatest laptop ever, it runs Kotor great except on these areas. Not only does it still lag WITH the fix, there is this random graphical glitch with lines streaking through the skies and sometimes through characters, but just on these worlds. Any ideas?

Q Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Try using the game's configuration utility to post your system specs: Post your system specs Sometimes we're just not going to be able to help you if we don't know what kind of hardware you have on your machine. If you don't know what you have on your machine, then follow these steps below: If you're using Vista or Windows 7, go into your game folder, find "launcher.exe" and right-click on it. Select "properties", then "compatibility" and check the box beside "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". Then check the box next to "Run this program administrator" and hit "OK". (EDIT by Q) Bring up the launcher menu for Kotor 1 or 2 (by running "launcher.exe"). Click on "Configure". Click the "Scan Hardware" button on the lower center of the window. Click "Yes" to continue. Click "Details" to view your system specs. Click "Save Report" and save the file to your desktop. Whenever you post your problem, open the file you just saved and copy and paste the contents to your post. You can leave out the keymapping and everything after that. Also, please specify which version of Windows you are using because the game can't ID anything newer than XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Did you install the game according to the large-print instructions at the top of the second post in this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmonkeybiz231 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 No I havent. Should I uninstall and try it that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I would, yes. I think that it would be a good idea to eliminate OS incompatibility as a potential cause of your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmonkeybiz231 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Well, I did everything and nothing was fixed. Any other ideas? Mind, it is only on Dantooine and on the shadowlands (or whatever they're called) on Kashyyyk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Have you tried turning off antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, shadows, grass and frame buffer effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmonkeybiz231 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'll try that since I have all those cranked all the way up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Try turning v-sync on or off, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmonkeybiz231 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 I turned everything off and while it did not look very good, it ran just fine. Once I was out of those areas I would crank everything back up again. Thank you so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 You're welcome. BTW, thanks for the input. You have the latest and greatest Intel GPU, the HD 3000, and it's good to find out what it can and can't do regarding these games. Both of the KotOR games have graphics anomalies (usually smoke/fog) that can slow down any modern video card, no matter how powerful it is.

mrmonkeybiz231 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yeah I bought this laptop for school actually, it just ended up being a good laptop overall. The graphics are still a little weak, for instance it cant run COD: MW2 on high settings all that well, but overall its very nice. Has 8gb of RAM too, for whatever reason KotOR says it only has 1gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJosh Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hey just turn of grass and shadows. Always works for me. Hope it helped. I hate the lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
