Rather than doing that, I downloaded the patches from Team Gizka. I'm passed that, and on to the next set of bugs... Dxun

FYI, I did download all the interim patches from Team Gizka. Hope this thing works hence forth.

OK.... now I'm seeing the bugs that everyone is griping about. And I agree with the masses. A game halting bug is enough to be pissed about. If it weren't for Team Gizka, I'd be tossing Kotor2 in the trash. Why hasn't Obsidian fixed this trash? Bug 1: Telos/Atris bug. Got stuck with no way out. People weren't in their cells. NPC dialogs were scrambled such that the game was STUCK. Bug 2: Dxun Mandalorin NPC dialog is skipped. I dunno what was said. feh.

I'm having trouble too. The only person in his cage is bol-dur. The others are located at the entrance. When I try speak to Attan, I get 2 options: Cheat: Continue converstation with Kriel Cheat: Go to NPC confrontation I can't speak to Kriel

Only bugs so far are the skipped NPC converstations, on Telos. Haven't noticed the sound quality, but then I play with almost zero sound to keep from waking the wife and kids. Have they made this game MUCH harder than the original? I find myself working harder...

Been playing the game. It's much better than people would have you believe. There aren't many upgrades from the original KOTOR engine, but the gameplay is fun. Sorry Obsidian. I shouldn't have bashed you guys. A bad CD had me fairly well pissed, though.

Final update.... After recovering the bad CD, I was able to patch the game, and begin playing. Thus ends my 3 day installation nightmare. Time for bed. I take back what I said about Obsidian. I'll hold further judgement until I actually play the game. Thanks for the help guys.

Update: CHCheck was able to recover the CD. That's my first hurdle. Now to try to patch... again.

You were right of course. CDCheck has found 10 bad sectors. Now that I've looked again, I can see 2 faint pits in the CD surface. I may try to buff, if CDCheck can't recover the lost data.

Cash at Wal-Mart. I'll do the $5 mail-in. I guess...

I just want my game to RUN..... Is that so much to ask?

Alas, the receipt wasn't there. Hrmmm, do I spend another $5 ordering a CD from LA? Or do I cut my losses and run?

Yeah, I'm fixing to dig through the garbage....

It's hard to compete with a game that won't install.

that didn't work. I still get CRC errors on those 2 files during install.

Alright, I'll bite. Right now my problem appears to be 2 files on CD4: swpc_tex_tpa.erf swpc_tex_tpb.erf I've copied this cd to my hard drive, and when the installer asks for CD4, I still get CRC errors for both files. I chose "ignore" and the installer completes. The game hangs during character creation, so I'm patching. But the patcher can't find the above files, so it cancels. Here's where I'm at: I'm trying to install with HD access on PIO mode only. All non critical processes are slain. We'll see what happens. Directx is 9.0c Athlon2100+ GeForce 4 TI 4200 (128MB), updated Nvidia drivers 1GB ram WinXP Home. I keep my drivers fairly upto date, but being on dialup (no choice here), I don't use windows update unless I have troubles. Antivirus isn't running.

I bought KOTOR2 just 2 days ago, June 29. The installation was borked. Several tries later (and after reading the forums), the game was installed. But then it crashes during character creation. So I autopatch the game. The patcher downloads, but hangs after it finishes. I try twice, before manually downloading the EXE update. The manual update gets 96% complete and then fails to find a critical file. I paid $45 for the most under-developed game ever produced. I will never again purchase a game developed by Obsidian. This type of product is expected for MMORPGs, but for a retail off-line game, this is truly pathetic. I applaud your efforts to patch the game, it shows you care about your company's reputation. But for me, your reputation is ruined. I'll try just a tad longer, but after 2 days effort, I'll probably break the CD and move on. I appreciate the effort of the forum members. You've helped me this far along. Obsidian should be paying you, IMO. You've done more than can be expected of any "customer". A few bugs "here and there" have come to be expected. But I won't tolerate this level of crapiness. /rant off
