I had the follow problem:
* When getting off Telos polar base I get a black screen upon entering ebon hawk.
* I can't move but can take medpaks etc by clicking around in the screen.
* I can bring up my stats & journals etc
* I can save but when loading I get the 1/3 - 1/4 load problem where the loading process just sits there.
* Using a slightly older save doesn't help
* Using the saves on another computer with different hardware and different drivers didn't help
My hardware:
* 3200+ 939/754 and nvidia 6800/4600 with SB Live 5.1 DE/ZS Pro
I tried:
* Uninstall current nvidia display drivers and reinstall all sorts of leaked and beta and official drivers from 66.x to 71.x.
* Tried to reinstall DX9.0c off the kotor cd 1 but I dont think that did anything
* Tried to change every setting that I could
The fix:
* I noticed my party was a party of 1 (being my main char)
* Loaded back just far enough where my party was still a full party
* Tried again - and it works!
The reason for breaking:
* Therefore something broke (whilst I was fighting handmaidens on Telos) that caused Bao-Dur and Atton to disappear from my party
* And since the game prohibits party changes on the telos polar base the only way to fix this is to reload back.
* So when I got onto the Ebon Hawk the in game cut scene that was supposed to be started by Atton didn't start because he wasn't in my party.
I wonder if this can fix other situations where the game expects someone to be in your party but for some reason that person isn't. I'm not sure why this would cause the 1/3 load bug though.
