Captainman Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hello! Sorry if this particular problem has been mentioned but I haven't found it in a few hours of browsing. When trying to leave the Peragus fuel depot through the turbolift that leads to the Administration level, it will start to load and then freeze. The game acts as if it's still thinking about it, music playing, ability to move the cursor, etc. But I've left it sitting for quite some time without any luck. I've tried using the warp cheat code to bypass the turbolift but with the same result. Up until this point in the game it has functioned flawlessly and smoothly. Thanks in advance for your help!

Q Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks for posting your specs. What version of Windows are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainman Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 It's in the specs: [OS] Name=WinXP Version=Windows XP v5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 3 Service Pack=Service Pack 3 Status=Pass I also tried it on 64bit Windows 7 but after using several fixes online given in the threads without success I moved onto my PC with XP. I've also just tried it on my old crappy laptop with windows 2000 on it, but I wasn't too surprised there when it wouldn't even open up the game. For this problem though, it's the PC with XP.

Captainman Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Also here's another little update. I was able to bypass the Peragus by going straight to the Harbinger. After playing those levels without a hitch, I was able to enter the fuel depot again only to have it quit to the main screen when trying to enter the next section of the mining facility.

Q Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The reason I asked what OS you were using is that the game can't ID anything newer than XP. For starters, you need to try 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainman Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Unfortunately that didn't do a thing. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Well, since you have a multi-core CPU and you're using XP, you should be setting CPU affinity to a single core every time you launch the game. How I do it is to open Task Manager (right-click on the Taskbar at the bottom of Windows' desktop and select "Task Manager") and click on the "Processes" tab. Check the "Show processes for all users" box if it isn't already and then launch the game. Once you get to the game's main menu, hit the Windows key to get back to the desktop and look for the game's executable (swkotor2.exe) in the Task Manager under the "Processes" tab. When you find it, right click on it, select "set affinity" and uncheck every box but "CPU 0" and hit "OK". Once you've done that, just hit the game's icon in the Taskbar and you should be good to go. Remember that you'll have to set CPU affinity like this every time you launch the game. Not doing this can cause the game to randomly crash. Also: are you using any mods?

Captainman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yup I did all of the basic fixes like switching the CPU affinity and the dantooine fix. I just started over and it seemed to do the trick. I still have no idea what it's problem was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
