  1. Cut from a stickied post. Q. I am having slow performance on Dantooine and/or in the Jekk Jekk Tar A. Open SWKotor2.ini found in the map where you installed Kotor2. There find [Graphics Options] and add the line Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1
  2. Theres apps that let you record what is being displayed at the time. How ever to do this means the higher the quality of the graphics are set the larger the space the recorded time will take up. Avg take up is like 100mb for 30sec. So use the lowest res and graphic settings you can to get what you want. One of the apps that does this is "Fraps", http://www.fraps.com/
  3. When your system just shutsdown is usaealy because of a power relaited issue. Either because there was a power spike from the source or there was over voltage used by the system componets that the power supply unit could handle. For the first part, make sure you have either a battery back-up (Uninterupted power supply), or surge protecter. For the second get a higher watt PSU.
  4. You'll have to find a mod then. Yes there is a mask with that name..but it does not look like what you want.
  5. How long has it been since you've done retine maintence on your system? Defrag. Clean temp files. Clear slack space (this is whats happening when Windows defrag says "compacting files") Clear orphened registry entires (Best to get a registry cleaner for this if you don't) Got enough voltage from the PSU for the new hardware? Whats the free hard drive space like? Disabled the unused Windows serivces (services.msc)? ^^^^^All that if not maintained can slow a system down as if it's running Malware.
  6. Well sertent global events, locations and cut scenes will cue up dialog options. Also bringing the NPCs with you will help out on the influence...Only Keira you don't need along for this.
  7. AGP can still be found with new cards. But it's getting rarer.
  8. Thus why I never installed the patch after finding out it made more new problems then it fixed and no one had problems with int he first place.
  9. If your ISP supplies you one free there should be links to it from their homepage.
  10. Better way. Get some online storage, most ISPs give you a free one. Put the files you wish linked there, then link from the forum post to that.
  11. Or just don't install the patch...leave the install retail.
  12. If your box is locking up, check it's temp...might just be over heating. To do anything I would suggest to get more life out of it..would require opening the case. Early build Xboxs had poor cooling measures. I've had to improve the cooling of a freinds box already.
  13. Need more info then just card names. Both cards do have AGP and PCI-Express versions as well as vram from 128m-512m. How ever clock speeds on both are about the same side from 10/500 more in favor of the x800gto (factory OCed card). AGP is 4x/8x data pipe width while PCI-Express is 16x data pipe width.
  14. I run the high res patch at 1024/768 res. I did once with out the patch. I can tell the difference between the two. But to effectively run 1600/1200 you'll need more closer to a 23" moniter, I have a 19" and it can barely do 1280x1024 while maintaining a 85hertz refresh rate and have readable standerd size text.
  15. Other things other then just hardware and ingame settings comes into play with adjust performence. -Service's running, Windows by default has a high number of services running that you never or likely wont use. -Pagefile size and location, a pagefile set to at least 1gig min and max on a seperate physical drive will allow the OS to access the data on it's drive while having time to let the pagefile to access the pagefile with out moving the read head. -Free space on HD, More free space equals faster HD read/write speeds. -OS application resource priority and timing, The higher the priority the more time the OS allows for the applaction to use the resources. -Indexed and OS compressed files, Indexed and compressed files reduce the read/write speeds of the HDs. -Data fragmention, reduces the read/write speed of HDs. -Amount of low size clusters created by empty folders and 5k or smaller files, Higher the number of these the more slack space is on the HD...it's not free space and it's not used space but it does reduce read/write speed of HDs. -Temprature of the hardware, Higher the temp of hardware the slower it preforms. -Amount of free voltage from the power supply, The more free voltage the more that can be given to hardware to preform at it's fullest while in high use.
  16. Yes. 4 actions totaling one direction of favor to the Exchange will trigger the Red Eclipse. How ever 7 actions one direction of favor to the Exchange will trigger the Visquis Call. Each action counts as one. A couple give more points: taking care of the Pazaak den gives 2, paying the bat gives 3. Some actions do not adjust either way. It is easy to get to the total of 4...I have seen that not even reached. The total of 7 I've seen frecently not reached. Meaning that if you do an equal or near equal amount of actions both ways you wont get the Call and have a chance not to get the Red Eclipes. This is not something you can edit in the KSE...I've tried, it will show you the total points both ways you have gathered. Best option is starting the planet over from a save before comeing to the planet. Try not to follow the guides. Use them as that, guide lines. There is multiple paths and out comes...the guides only list ONE of more then a dozen possiable.
  17. With the registry entries intact but the data files missing the auto-run feature from disk can only give "uninstall" as an option. Missing registry entries only resaults in the application being unable to open.
  18. There are two versions of KotoR. The mods are designed to work with a specific one only.
  19. Yes, thats one of KotoR2's bugs. If you change party too close to a wall one or more of the party members gets pushed on the other side.
  20. KotoR2 use's ALOT of vertex shaders which can cause a nasty amount of graphics lag. These are used to create the smoke and fog...two of the larger lag creaters, shadows being abit bigger. Half Life 2 was designed to run on much lower grade system but maintain visual quality. Yeah a rarity to see with titles now. Doom3 equaly high with visual quality but instead of useing directx it use's opengl which it's engine hasn't been updated for some time. post a dxdiag, lets see if we can make it run smoother at least.
  21. With graphics set low it will run. I can run NWN and KotoR1 on a system with half the speed.
  22. start-> run-> dxdiag, "Save All Information", post the text file created.
