Problem with star wars knights of the old republic 2

yeah, i already tried this one, bad news, its not working.
it would be nice to publish the patch, because i'll hang myself soon :haha:
 
The buffer thing is not for getting the graphics card to work, certain levels manly dantooine suffer from major slowdown when you go there, the buffer line helps to increase the speed other wise its near impossible to play.
 
question: where do you know the release date of the patch? i couldnt find it on the lucasarts homepage
 
Lucas arts are not doing the patch hence why it's not on the webiste, Obsidian are doing it and have posted on their site that the patch is in testing but will not give a release date for it, just more waiting i'm afraid :(
 
thanks for the info :)
these ati drivers messed up my whole windows, nothing is running, even the newest games quit after a little of gameplay, not to mention the older ones...(like dungeon keeper2, dawn of war, gothic2)
 
Yea those drivers just made things worse. i tried to roll back to my old drivers, then just did a system restore...OBSIDAN LISTEN TO ME...RELEASE THIS PATCH...sorry had to vent

yesterday was my best day ever... :)
i played with kotor2 2 and a half hour before it crashed
i think its time for obsidian to finish the patch...
 
I hope its all good

HusyPB did you get the problem with the dirvers fixed? I hope you did, no one deserves that torture.

Sean
 
oh, you are too good... :)
i installed a whole new windows with sp2, and it seem to me that the game is running without any problem
hope the patch is coming soon...
 
:bounce: i tried everything by now but the game keeps freezing, hm maybe my video card is not supported...
any news about the patch???
obsidian: "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II PC patch coming soon!"
 
your video card is supported it's just a problem that only a patch can fix it was the same with Kotor, i'm able to play for a couple of hours before things screw up mines a Radeon 9600 256mb with the latest catalyst drivers 5.2, and i have tried every other driver with no effect so your not alone, There is still no word on a release date for the patch they seem to be taking their time maybe there is more screwed up then they first thought, or maybe they just want to make sure the patch fixes all the problems either way we are still going to have to wait.
 
thanks thats quite a relief... oh, im using an older catalyst because with the it kept freezing with hte 5.2, but i dont care... :)
 
The Games rocks huh

Yea i finnaly just got a GeForce 5200 and played the game with that. I had played it on xbox already so the ending was no suprise to me. BUt it was a good game wouldnt you say.
 
Finally

Its great that they got the patch otu and all, but next time obsidian, lets try not the have the mess of a problem in the first place! Wishful thinking i guess

Sean

Yea, I am using Windows 2000 on an Athlon XP 1800+ with an ATI Radeon 7200 (so what, I'm poor) and I get a crash too right when the game starts playing on its own engine (right after the beginning cut scene with the asteroid field).. Memory could not be read at 0x00000000 it says.

Based on what I've seen here I presume that it's another ATI problem. what the hell. Did these guys not test the game before they shipped it?

That's all.. I'm just confirming it might be an ATI issue. I'll be checking the update patcher program daily till it comes out!

Oh, I am having an problem just like this guy. I just bought the game from the store and I can't play anything untill now (it crashes just right at the loading after the first intro movie). I still hear the sound from the game but I can't control the in-game character and I can only terminate the game. I tried to turn off the movie but the problem still happen.
Can anyone help me?
 
And here's the screenshot:

Please, some one help me!
 
What video card are you trying to run the game with maybe it isn't supported by the game, if it is then download the patch and make sure you have the latest drivers installed, that solved the problem for me.
 
I had the same problem as above the gave kept crashing at random. I'm running an ati 9550 Pro and had the latest drivers. so i decided to roll my drivers back to catalist Ver. 3.6 and have had no problems since.
 
Well I had a strange problem with mine, I was installing it and I kept getting an error saying please insert the correct volume in the drive KOTOR2_1.....so for awhile I couldn't even get it installed. Then after I get sp2 it magically installs. I thought my troubles are over I can play it etc.....Wrong I make my character and go through the cinematics....the Ebon Hawk on fire and all of a sudden the black screen. I played the first one and had no problems now the second one decides it wants everyone to suffer. Why would they market a game that has the majority of people who bought it frustrated with a game that dosen't work. I'm almost thinking reformat, screw sp2 and try it that way. Or maybe go back to windows 98 if it will run on it.
 
i had similar problems with kotor 1

i had similar problems with kotor 1 where the screen was black but i heard the audio and the screen would skip around during gameplay i think it has to do with the game but not sure
 
The Solution

A friend of mine got his to work no problem, I updated my drivers and all that but this right here could work:
Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1
put that under graphics in the swkotor2.ini
If it dosen't work I dunno why but it's been working fine for me. :)
