Im having a problem while playing KotOR II. Here's the deal. I installed it, updated the game and tried to play. It ran fine until I got to the Mining Colony (forgot name). Now, the graphics get distorted at random time. It's like the polygons in the models get stretch out and end in a sharp point, and it can range from ignorable to unplayable.
I tried the Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1 trick to see if it help alleviate the problem, and it did. Unfortunaely it did so at the cost of fps, to the point where the game runs at a crawl.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? Im lost. Here my swinfo.txt if it helps.
