I am using a toshiba satelite:
pentium 4
2.8 mhz
512 ram
ati mobility radeon 7000 igp
ati driver: 4.13
I have been waiting since early march for the patch ... my game would crash after character creation and opening movie and showing the inside of a ship ... i tried everything, but no hope ... downloaded almost every 'third party' driver i could find (ati does not give driver updates for laptops) to make it mimic the new catalyst drives ...
The patch, however, fixed this issue .... I can finally play the game!!! ... I cannot tell u how well it works yet, because i have only had time to do the prologue about repairing the ship ... hope i have no more issues ...
i am running the game as follows:
resolution: 800x600
refresh rate: 60
texture pack: low
grass and shadows: off
movies: on
ok ... so the quality is not the best ... anyway, i'm not complaining, though ... i thought that my 50 bucks were wasted because the ati mobility 7000 igp is obsolete ... (i bought the game because kotor i had worked perfectly) ... obsidian (but NOT L.A.) has moved up a few notches in my book ...
my advice ... DO download the patch ... took me abt 5 min to download and 15 min to install ... worth the wait ...
