CptPriceless Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Have you tried playing with disabled movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuuken Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yea I tried doing that but after enabling it after I load the save game and it progresses after the scene of saving Bastila after the swoop race in Taris it simply returns to the main screen and freezes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejman217 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Are you playing with the "Best of PC" version of KotOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuuken Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 The Case doesn't say anything about that so I don't think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Which version of Windows are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejman217 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well, the Best of PC version of KotOR is 5 PC games in one box, including KotOR 1 which is already patched to the newest version. Since yours doesn't seem to be the Best of PC version of KotOR, you will probably have to patch your game to the most current version for it to work properly. You can find the patch here: http://www.lucasarts.com/support/update/KotOR.html Once you click on this link that takes you to the patch, the download link is at the bottom. It is a self extracting .exe, which means that it should automatically install (with your permission of course) once it is downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuuken Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 ah mine came with 4 disks? so it might be that Best of PC version and also I'm patched to 1.03 patch ah and also I used KSE to give my character items and change stats of him and I use that EnableCheats=1 Cheat to edit my attributes ingame as well would that effect the game somehow which would cause the freeze?

Ryuuken Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Which version of Windows are you using? Windows XP version 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejman217 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Enable cheats shouldnt be the problem. 95% chance that it isnt. Hmm, 4 installation discs? Are they all for the same game? or are they for multiple games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuuken Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 their all for the same game each disk has a part of the whole installation for the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejman217 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 ok. so you definitely DO NOT have the Best of PC version of KotOR. Are you sure you are patched to the 1.03 update? double check. Because KotOR by itself (not Best of PC version) is the oldest version of the game(the one the game was made in). so please double check if you are. thanks!

Ryuuken Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well It was version 1.0 and after i downloaded it I updated it to the 1.03 patch but thats when the problems started so maybe thats why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejman217 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Try uninstalling the game, and then reinstalling. (dont keep your saves, as they will most likely be operating under the 1.03. Uninstall, then reinstall except dont patch the game. Tell me your results please! *IMPORTANT QUESTION*: did you install the 1.03 patch before you even started a new game?

Ryuuken Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yes I patched it without playing the game though I might have started it but not really played through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejman217 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 alright then. Well, try uninstalling, then reinstalling except without patching the game, because that seems to be the problem. If its not....oh well. Maybe someone else can help. Uninstall, reinstall, play through it (as much as you like), and if you do or dont encounter problems, come back to this thread and tell me your results!

Q Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The OP shouldn't have to reinstall. Looks like he/she did everything correctly. Just a couple of things need to be done and the game should run fine. First is 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, since the OP has a multi-core CPU and is using XP, he/she is going to have set affinity to a single CPU core every time they 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 to set CPU affinity like this every time you launch the game. Not doing this can cause the game to randomly crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried this fix and even after setting CPU to using only one core and adding that command in the Swtor.ini file and loading the savegame it still freezes at about 1/3 of the way and also disabling Movies it only returns to mainscreen and crashes and I have to use Task Manager to close it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's likely a corrupted save, then. Try going back to an earlier save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
