xXMythicXx Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Alright, so I just bought a new copy of KOTOR. I have a Windows XP 32 bit that I'm trying to run it on, but it doesn't even make it to the starting movies. It comes up with the loading picture (the Ebon Hawk if I'm not mistaken), but then it disappears after 5-10 seconds. Here are my specs: [sWKotOR] ReportDateTime=2/6/2012 6:31:51 PM SysInfoVersion=v1.00.19 GameExists=1 GameVersion=v1.00.514058 GameInstallLocation=C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR\ [OS] Name=WinXP Version=Windows XP v5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 3 Service Pack=Service Pack 3 Status=Pass [swapFiles] c:\pagefile.sys=2046 [CPU] CPUCount=1 CPUSpeed=2992 CPUFamily=15 CPUModel=4 CPUStepping=1 CPUVendor=Intel CPUName= Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz Status=Pass [Memory] RAM=2047 Status=Pass [Disk Free Space] C: (NTFS), UNICODE=3.54GB Status=Pass [CD-ROMs] DriveLetters=D:\,E:\ Drives=PHILIPS DVD8631 [Video] Video Card Name=NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Video Memory=512 Desktop Resolution=800x600x32 @ 60Hz DirectX=DirectX (9.0+) (4.09.00.0904) OpenGL Version=3.3.0 OpenGL Vendor=NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Renderer=GeForce 8400 GS/PCI/SSE2 Vid Card Status=Warning GL Status=Pass DX Status=Pass [Audio] Sound Card Name=SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio Status=Pass ;Game Options from swkotor.ini [sound Options] Music Volume=85 Voiceover Volume=85 Sound Effects Volume=85 Movie Volume=100 Force Software=0 EAX=3 Disable Sound=0 Number 3D Voices=16 Number 2D Voices=24 Environment Effects Level=0.60 2D3D Bias=1.50 Environment Effects=1 [Game Options] Hide InGame GUI=0 Use Small Fonts=0 Keyboard Camera Deceleration=2000.000000 Keyboard Camera Acceleration=500.000000 Keyboard Camera DPS=200.000000 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=33 Auto Level Up NPCs=0 Mouse Look=0 AutoSave=1 Reverse Minigame YAxis=0 Combat Movement=1 Enable Tooltips=1 Difficulty Level=1 TooltipDelay Sec=1.000000 Memory Access=1 Memory Level=1 [Movies Shown] Movie 0=0 Movie 1=0 Movie 2=0 Movie 3=0 Movie 4=0 Movie 5=0 Movie 6=0 Movie 7=0 Movie 8=0 Movie 9=0 Movie10=0 [Alias] HD0=.\ OVERRIDE=.\Override TEMP=.\Temp MODULES=.\Modules LOGS=.\Logs LOCALVAULT=.\LocalVault DMVAULT=.\DMVault SERVERVAULT=.\ServerVault STREAMMUSIC=.\StreamMusic TEMPCLIENT=.\Tempclient SAVES=.\saves CURRENTGAME=.\currentgame TEXTUREPACKS=.\texturepacks STREAMWAVES=.\StreamWaves [Graphics Options] V-Sync=0 Anisotropy=1 Frame Buffer=1 Anti Aliasing=0 Texture Quality=2 Emitters=1 Grass=1 Soft Shadows=0 Shadows=1 Brightness=57 EnableHardwareMouse=1 FullScreen=1 [Autopause Options] Mine Sighted=1 End Of Combat Round=0 Enemy Sighted=1 Party Killed=1 Action Menu=0 New Target Selected=1 [config] firstrun=0 I've tried downloading the newest version of DirectX, but that does nothing. All the fixes are either for Vista/Windows 7 or they require setting the permission level to administrator (I don't know what the hell the password is) and setting the compatibility options to Win XP SP3 which isn't there.

Q Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for posting your specs. Makes things easier for me. Since you have XP, you shouldn't have to do much to get the game running. The first thing you need to do is patch your game. KotOR1's updater should still be able to do it. The second thing you need to do is the Dantooine lag fix, which is needed by any video card that supports DX10 or newer: 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...
