Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Could you please be a little more specific. I.E what is the exact error message that you are getting?

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

its one of those messages that gives you a option of send or dont send

Take a look in the event viewer applications and look for any red crosses or yellow warning triangles.

Right click on the event that you wish to look at and select properties and see what it says.

Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling the game?

Regards Howard

yes i have but it always happens, i thought it could be a graphic card driver but i cant find a driver for a ati radeon 9000 igp

You can get the latest drivers HERE

Regards Howard

what about for the RADEON IGP 345M
because i never found it

First click on your version of Windows then in the next box click on graphic driver then in the last box click on Radeon family then click go

The driver you will be directed to will be the correct one for your Radeon card.

Regards Howard

I also have a simliar problem when I start a new game it plays the introduction gets to the part where the Ebdon Hawk flew damaged through the asteroid field then it just doesn't display a picture! The music keeps playing but nothing else happens.

Technical Specs:
Athlon XP 3200+
ATI Radeon 9600 (256 MB)
512 MB Memory
120 Gb Hard disk

I did update the graphics card's driver recently using the device manager in Windows and I have Direct X 9.0c.

Hello Hotdog and welcome to Techspot.

i added new drivers for my graphics card but still i get the black screen and the music plays for a while then the message comes

I have a problem with kotor2 using Anisotropic filtering in that the game crashes with it turned on, i dont have this problem with any other game just this one, i have tried both latest and older drivers with no luck also i have tried turning off fast write and V Sync also with no luck, kotor1 doesn't have this problem,

specs are

Dell dimension 4550 P4 2.66ghz
768mb ddr 333mhz
Radeon 9600 256mb

Anyone have the same problem or can help, or do i have to wait for a patch to be delevoped even tho the specs for the game says my card is fully supported although it doesn't seem that way to me.

Game not rig?

Darth I have the same problem as you. I really think it is a problem with the game. I dont think it is my rig but here it is

P4 @ 3.1GHz
1 GB RAM
X700 ATI
Got all of the newest drivers and jazz. I dont think it is your system b/c you said you could play KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2 has the same graphics engine (i am 90%sure)

hi

im a bit depressed because of this probelm...
i think its the catalist which isnt working with the game... (but i love my ati...)

Yeah i believe it is an ATI Catalyst problem, the first KOTOR had the same problem, and was fixed once an Update patch for KOTOR was released, it looks like the same for this one, Ive been to the lucas arts site and the forum is full of ppl with the same problems, i guess we'll just have to wait for the patch.

you wont believe this... i tried the game with my old gef4 mx 440 and it crashed... its not because the catalyst driver, oh im so tired...
I want to play the game without saving in every corner!!!!!
We should write an email to the boyz at lucas arts... :haha:

sorry to bother you, but i think i know what the problem is... maybe the game isnt compatible with te service pack 2 for win xp, my friend has only the sp 1 installed and the game runs smoothly on his machine... oh, why cant i play with the best game ever made????

look here for some help

thx, but i already red this through... there is nothing about error messages (you know the one, that wants to send the failure as a message to the "oh, so loved" microsoft company)

New here so hi guys and gals

Alot of people are having this problem, and all with ATI cards. Lucas are aware of it and it does mention in the lucas support forum that a patch is done it just needs to be tested before it is released. It is annoying that most games that are released seem to have problems with PC's and laptops that use ATI. I have used all sorts of software to try and get it to work, Omega, older Catalyst drivers, 3Danalyze but with no result. All I can say is your not alone and don't give up hope just yet, I am just hoping that the patch fixes alot of the issues.

Oh if you live in Europe don't even think of sending Lucas a support request they will reply with an email address for Activision.
