Well found out after some resreach and finding my vid cards supplied hardware moniter app. The MoBo is sending a higher voltage to the slot then what it should. That being the case it would cause the issues I've been having. so until they fix it or I find a fix for it I've clocked my card down..which is hurting the frame rate noticabley..but at least it's keeping the crashing down. Still saving every 5ft and after every convo incase it does crash so I've made some progression. The card should read at default 1.5v, but the moniter is picking it up at 1.7v which is what the board sends to the solt, what should be picked up by the card should be 1.5v.

Found out from people that use FRAPS..it hurts there frame rate when being used. So they only use it when they wish to make ashort movie then at lowest graphics that can get the job done with.

Actualy unless the DX9 card is OCed, it will actualy have lower frame rates then a DX8 counterpart. The DX8 cards have equal clock speeds, but due to not have DX9 support they render less on the same clock speed which presents higher frame rates. Simply break the cards down to rare clockspeed and render support and compare, screw the brand name, model name, driver support. Unless there is an option in game to list FPS, I can't tell you exact numbers.

Well the better frame rates were with my last MoBo. This one I still can't seem to get very far before some freeze, crash, graphical flashing or some other mishap. Once I actualy got to Telos with no issues..lol 7 hours of hassel free game play. But last day it's been 5mins system restart, freeze >.<

No issues with the smoke or Jekk Jekk Tar. Just Khoonda is the only problem.

Athlon XP 2400, GeForce 4 Ti 2700 AGP8x (same clock speed as late end Dx9 cards not OCed), 512 DDR PC2700, 500watt PSU, 2 60gig WDC, Windows XP Pro SP2. Processer, Ram, and Vid card can be OCed..haven't done so yet--with BIOS settings. Minimal apps loaded, unused services disabled, both drives with more then 25% free space, page file on seperate physical drive from system drive set at 2gig, all spyware removed, all junk files removed, registy clean of junk entires, a few other performence tweaks. My system tests at 105% of 7000 same speced systems.

Didn't install the patch for the game.

It's Gizka, like the critters that get infested on the Ebon Hawk in Kotor1 when you visit Tatoonie.

Gah, C++ Run time error crash again. The tool was never installed this time. But oddly this is the onyl time the C++ run time error has acured with out the tool installed.

My only slowdown is Dantoonie when approcing Khoonda from the field. No where else lags..unless I turn on grass and smooth shadows then hurt comes.

More then know how to get mods to work with each other. Been useing mods for years...and making them. My issue is with something else..still trying to find it >.<

Yep.

Yes. Will take the same minimum. But it does have a little higher on the max.

No need to update your game version. Research the game patch and you'll find otu it actualy breaks more then it fixs, and the things listed as fixed no one had problems with. I'm haveing some crashing issues as well..but just not isolated to one specific point. Totaly random and with out warning, sometimes.

Well my second time thru I did get HK assembled before going into the warehouse. Just happened that the vender on Nar Shaada sold the HK Chassie instead of the other part like last time. So no, the bought parts aren't fixed, just the dropped ones. No, no problem with when Vasis spawns. Just wanted to point out that the cutscene is not the only guiding factor as to when she spawns. If that was the case she would have spawned when I left Telos instead of when left Onderon. So lightsaber parts are as well needed. Or will not spawn until you have visited at least one planet.

Wrong, I had HK before going into the warehouse. Go to Onderon, then Danootine, then Nar Shaada...by the time you finish checking all the shops and getting any of the shop owners to inscrease stock listing you will have obtained all of HKs parts. The check can be done with the quest log..the quest log checks which parts you have left to find from the ones you've installed. So no reason the shops can't use the same check. --------- Something to note about Vasis showing up. She will not spawn in the Eban Hawk until you have collected all the needed parts to build a lightsaber and you have seen the cut scene. Found this out by seeing the cut scene almost on Peragus..then getting the last parts in Onderon. --------- Once you do the pylon quest, or check the pylons. Go back to the NPC that changes the transponder code. You'll get a dialog option saying that you have the code but are still looking for a transponder card.

My game has been freezing recently resalting in a system restart. This is abit worse then what the tool was doing, graphicing flashing leading to C++ run time error. I get no warning, then plop screen freezes...most times locking the system then it restarts. I heard that this mobo might have a voltage issue with it's AGP.

Likely have to delete the save that was use to load the game or the one that is of the closet time to the crash. Maybe the whole tree of saves fromt he one used to load the the game. Simply deleteing the three folders listed doesn't fully help, but does a little. Deleting the saves or starting a new game as well as deleting those folders works.

I could install it on my Dell which has those.

Lol, never guessed you could bring up uninstall as a bug. When it asks if you wish to keep you settings and save games, even if you select yes it still deletes the settings files.

HK-47...never left my party. Works good even for a lightsider. Tough in Kotor2 he becomes abit of a pain with influience.

If Kotor2 crashs once it leaves 3 folders active in c:\program files\lucasarts\swkotor2: "Currentgame", "Gameinprogress", "Temp". These 3 folders are usealy only active when a game is in fact in progress and you have alt-tabbed out. But if the game is not even running and you try to start a game it will confuse the engine causeing graphical flashing leading to a crash or freeze. So if your game crash's before even thinking about starting a new game, delete these three folders or it will just crash again. ------ Edit: Might be a file or something that I can't see right off that should also be deleted before starting up the game again to prevent farther crash's cause soloy by a confused engine instead of a real crash.

Those are not cards. Those are on-board chipsets. Would be best to get a real video card if can. Other then that. Those chipsets should beable to run it with some settings off or low.

The thing with the HK parts in shops. It still spawns them even if you already have them. It should have a check for quest log/inventory for the item, then if presant don't spawn. These are one of a kind unique items...there is no reason for addtional copies floating around. The thing with the transponder code. It counts checking the pylons as receiveing the code. It shouldn't if the actualy way to receive the code is in the warehouse. Speaking of the warehouse, it is possiable to have HK fully built before getting to the point. At wihch you should have option of having HK or T3 go in. Would make a nice convo point for HK meeting his "cheap copies"...well actualy with out the factory the only way as the only 3 places you meet them is: Peragus, Telos, Nar Shaada.

Not saying any of the storyline or kotor2 names. Well by the time you get all the parts you need to build a sabre, already built sabres will be dropping all over the place. 2 planets from Kotor1 are in this one..and if you go to either one as your first planet...sabre parts and full sabres all over the place. Full sabres only drop once you have collected all the needed parts to build one. There is a random cutscene that comes up depending on how far on the lightside/darkside you are..for most people this cutscene doesn't come up til like the leaving for the second planet. But it is possiable to get it to come up before even getting out of the starting area...very tough to pull that off. Returning NPCs: T3-M3, HK-47, Candureice. A couple that don't join your party: Carth, Vrook. Some NPCs join your party depending on gender and lightside/darkside balence. There is a lack of "droid support" option. Several: bugs, inconsistent content, and missing/cut content.
