I'll try it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did try resetting the graphics, but the PC version I have refuses to go lower than 800 by. I found a way around it though. Disable sound until you are in an area where you can maneuver freely. Once you are, save, quit, then reopen the game.

What I call the idiot dance is when the character movement locks up, and all it does is take the position of moving, but at the same time merely spins in place. I had the same problem with it in KOTOR I. I found a way around it with my 'inferior' system. Disable sound until you are in an area where you can maneuver freely. Once you are, save, quit, then reopen the game.

I'll try it.

I tried your fix, but it didn't work. I put it last in the queue. Would it work better if I put it farther up?

I was told by someone who has a similar system that it would run. As for the res that is what it set automatically. When I used the rcommended setting button it was still there. I don't know how to reset them. That is why I asked for help. As for the game itself, it refuses to acknowledge that I do have a radeon 9200 upgraded as far as a windows 98 allows. I'll try going for a lesser res and see if that helps, but I think 800x600 is the lowest it allows.

Sorry strum, I thought mentioning it was a hardware problem would be sufficient. You have to remember that when I was a kid a computer as powerful as this POS I have on the desk took up a 20 foot square room and needed three operators. The problem is, my system is not fast enough to run the game with full efficiency. I know that from the get go. When I change scene (Only twice so far, but I haven't even gotten them together or Peragus) I get what I call the 'idiot dance'. T3 just sits there (Though you can here the motor running) or spins slowly in a circle. I had the same problem when I uploaded KOTOR for the first time.

I tried it, but no joy.

I understand. You really don't want to deal with me on a bad day. As I said, check out lucasuforums, and see what I do.

Thank you. Did you also delete all of the chatter as well?

I guess cause he's a critic. And I dont't like critics. They are not to be trusted. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> First, predator, go to the lucasforums coruscant entertainment center, the column 'the Critic's two cents. The first thing i said is I do 'critiques' like your english teacher does. I say when it's good, I point to what's wrong, and when the story line doesn't make sense, I say so. Any idiot can say 'it's junk'. I say, 'the idea is good, and here is where you went wrong'. As I have joked with the kids there constantly, I am not a teacher only because i don't have the college credits and am unwilling to be either politically correct or willing to teach BS because it is politically correct to do so. For those not hung up on the word 'critic, my problem, which as I pointed out might already have been done, is my hardware is having problems with the Sith Lords. It had a similar problem but not as bad with KOTOR. What happens is the movement control locks up and the charatcer does what I call the 'idiot dance, meaning it spins in place until the system is happy again.

I think the title said it all. Oh, BTW, do we have a fan fic section? I'm the critic from Lucasforums.
