Background about me:
I know enough about computers to do basic tech support.
I don't know enough to be a Tier 2 tech support.
This means I can follow instructions but might not always understand what I'm doing.
The situation:
Lost my old computer.
Bought a new one.
Bought and ran KOTOR2 with no update.
Loved it.
Motherboard fried in certain areas.
Video card not compatible with fried motherboard though it worked before the fry.
Found my old computer.
Inserted new video card into old computer.
Installed KOTOR2.
The problem:
The first time I ran KOTOR2, certain things happened.
1) I could save before opening a "chest", open it, and if I didn't like it, reload the game to see what else I could get. Each time was a different item. I liked this feature.
2) Voices would sound normal.
This time:
1) The open chest trick only works for the first time I load into a floor. If I save before opening and reload, it's always the same item. To have the item change again, I need to reload before I entered the floor, and re-enter the floor. This causes a floor-wide item reboot. I don't want floor wide. I just want to be able to save after I've entered the floor and be able to reload to get new items.
2) Voices have an echo. While talking on Peragus, there is a metal echo from the voices. The same echo is heard in all planets, even Dxun, which is a whole forest. This isn't how it used to work.
Can anyone suggest something please?
Rather can anyone suggest how to fix the problems without causing my system to blow up?
Thanks.
