Hello- I'm on my second playthrough of this game. During my first I didn't take advantage of the ability to convert Handmaiden, Atton, Bao-Dur, and Mira to Jedi. I decided to play through again with an "unlock it all" attitude. So, I've managed to convert everyone over to their Jedi classes but I'm coming up short on Lightsabers for them all . So far I've completed Dantoine, Nar Shadda, and Goto's yacht and all I have to show for sabers is the one I created with Bao-Dur, a single bladed one that I got from Vrook, and a short saber that I got randomly. I recall from KOTOR 1 that by the end of my first world I had at least 2 of all the different styles. Have I just been unlucky (I've read that loot in this game is highly randomized) or have I missed a cache somewhere? Note: Until I acquired Visas I didn't have anyone in the party with decent security skills so I was forced to bash a lot of containers and ended up with broken items. Any chance that I potentially broke some sabers? Ty in advance.

Hi Everyone- If you are still having this issue try the following. After much testing and hair pulling this managed to fix the problem on my 32 bit vista dual core Intel machine. a) Run the game from the executable instead of the disk. b) Before running the game right click on the exe file, check the "Run as Administrator" option. c) DO NOT run in compatibility mode. d) Launch the game. e) Once in the game hit alt tab to minimize the game. f) Hit ctl-alt-delete and start task manager. g) Select the "processes" tab. h) At the bottom hit the admin marked icon "show processes from all users" button. Note: Sometimes hitting this will remaximize KOTORII. Simply alt tab again if it does. i) Find swkotorII.exe in the list. j) Right click on the file and select "Set Affinity" from the drop down list. k) A pop up will appear with CPU 0 and CPU 1 check boxes. Uncheck CPU 1, hit ok, and then re-enter the game. As a side note setting affinity for single core has fixed approximately 80% of issues that I've had running other older games on my dual core rig. Until I discovered it I was thinking about putting together an XP machine just for old games. I tested this with a few different variables and at least on my machine the error would occur unless both compatibility mode and affinity were set. In other words if I left it in compatibility mode and did the affinity step it would still happen. Conversely, if I disabled compatibility mode and did not do the affinity step it would still happen. Hope this helps. Frustrating as hell bug.
