You can replace you *.exe files with the original ones and then patch it, but, it will not bring you satisfactions since for patched game you need new no-cd *.exe files to find. May be on astalavista.box.sk <_<

Just 've poped up an idea - Try to delete all the content in \Overrides subdirectory of your TSL installation directory. This might help.

Ok, so its realy a pirated version, but may be It can be fixed. Can you give a link on E-Bay where you've bought it?

Hm. It seems to me people are completely ignorant about anything going outside of US... I AM RUSSIAN. I live here for my whole life, and I can say there are two good presidents in our history - the second is Putin. About chechens - how will you act if one of native US indian tribes starts the war against the US claiming their independence and killing thousands of innocent people? About Ucraine - how will you act if one of US states (california for example) will claim its independence from US? What will your president do? As for ours - he gave them independence, but we all know what happened to that orphaned contry later ... Ucraine was the part of Russia for about 300 years ... United States was not even in a project when this union was settled . But it's all about politics we can discuss if you want in other forum or topic. Speaking about piracy in Russia ... As for me I hate them because of making bad translation, bad packaging, source software corruption and I prefer to buy licensed soft if it is possible. But such companies as lucasarts do not sell their products in Russia so we have no choice ... KOTOR II is my first licensed game from Lucas arts. I spent about $70 for it, even I knew it was overpriced. So, please, do not blame Russians any more without the proper reason.

Yes, you can copy files from CD, but what if any other files (critical to patch) are corrupted also and we don't know it. ...

If you've alredady installed the last patch 1.0b, go to Docs folder and try to open manual.pdf (or how it is called ..). If you open it successfully then its my only feature, if not - this is a great common bug of new patch Patcher modifies the game files in some way but, as practice shows, not all files are good after that. I've found only manual corruption, and what if some other files are corrupted too. So this may be the true source of some problems.
