I just purchased KOTORII and installed it today. The first time I installed it, I immediately patched it and tried to run it. The program accessed my hard drive for a few seconds and crashed without any error message. I played around with turning movies off, sound off and different resolutions. I finally decided to re-install and try again.
The second time, I ran the game before I applied the patch. It ran just fine. I got bold and re-applied the patch. The game crashes shortly after I attempt to run it, now.
I am running Windows XP, dual-core Intel processor, and an Nvidia 8600GT graphics card with up-to-date drivers.
Several questions for anyone who may have an idea...
1) Any idea why The patch game will not run while the unpatched game runs fine?
2) Will I be able to complete this game if I don't patch it?
3) Are there other prior patches that I could download and try my luck?
