I have 2 laptops with ATI Radeon 9600 cardsw and a stationary using a Nvidia 5900XT, on my stationary I have no problems, but I have experienced the blach screen one one of my laptops...
I do however believe that (at leest for me) it is actually 2 problems:
Problem 1: Do not initiate a fight with the handmaiden sisters, if you do your party will break, (unable to add party members) and regardless of black screen or not after leaving Telos the character will be locked.
Problem 2: the black screen occuring after playing the Atris movie sequence. <_<
One my first laptop (a Gericom) I tried to change everything driver related going first with the latest Omega drivers , reverting to 4.11 and a mixture (copying files into kotor 2 directory) I could get the black screen to go away with 4.11
drivers, but if I removed "Frame Buffer Effects" I would get black screen again.. Further regardless of ini file editing the screen flickered like mad. However as I had not by then realized that I had the party breaking problem I couldn't do anything.
One my second laptop an IBM using these drivers http://www-900.ibm.com/cn/support/download...X7/1rd612ww.exe
The game died when about to play the Atris sequence... I then ran the swconfig.exe in the kotor 2 directory and disabled movies and voila everything worked fine.
By then it was pretty late, but when I get from work today I'll experiment more with the IBM drivers on my Gericom laptop and/or start from a savegame without having fought the handmaiden sisters... I'll try to be systematic "
I'll post my findings here, but by now I believe the problem can be solved with some sort of workaround until a patch is released. :cool:
