There is no one single cause of the black screen problem. It would be best if those who are experiencing the problem would also describe WHERE they are getting the problem.

Does your portrait have the "Light Mastery +3 CON" notation over it? If so, does your character sheet say 15 CON or does it say 18 CON? If it says 15 CON, then it seems the game might be adding in the bonuses behind the scenes. That's very strange considering that stat changes from worn equipment are always reflected on the character sheet. Even temporary stat changes from Force powers and stamina injections are reflected on the character sheet. Why would they make an exception for Light Mastery? Something's not right here. Either the bonus isn't actually being implemented, or they've neglected to update the character sheet when Light Mastery is achieved. It also doesn't seem to make sense from a storytelling point of view that someone would be allowed to keep the benefits of Light Mastery even if he turned to the Dark Side. Either way, it sounds like it is a bug or a very bad game design decision.

So for example if your normal strength is 14 without any additional implants/armor/etc, do you see it change into 17 on the character screen that shows STR/DEX/CON/INT/WIS/CHR? I've gotten , and to have Light Side Mastery show up above their character screen portrait saying "Light Mastery +3 STR/CON" but the actual character sheet opposite their picture never shows that the bonus +3 has been added onto their original stats. That is, a 14 strength stays at 14 and it never actually changes into a 17. What's especially obvious is that the character with a Light Side Mastery +3 CON never gains the additional Vitality points that should accompany the CON bonus. Vitality (Hit Points) stay the same regardless of whether I gain or lose the Light Side Mastery +3 CON status.

Has anyone else noticed that the Light Side mastery bonus does not seem to be working? My Jedi Guardian is pegged at 100% Light Side and as a result, his character picture has a notation that he gets a +3 strength bonus. However, this +3 bonus doesn't actually get reflected in his strength stat. His unmodified natural strength is 14, but when my alignment hits 100% Light Side, his strength never actually says 17 despite the supposed +3 bonus notation above his picture. Getting Dark Side points removes the +3 bonus notation, but his strengh stat remains at 14. I've also confirmed this bug with Jedi party members who supposedly get a +3 constitution bonus for being 100% Light Side. Even though their picture says "Light mastery +3 CON" their actual stats remain the same and they do not receive any corresponding Vitality increase. Losing the 100% Light Side status removes the +3 bonus notation, but their actual stats remain the same. This looks like a bug that takes away some of the incentive for working at being 100% Light Side. I have not confirmed whether the same thing happens at 100% Dark Side.

Specifically, for a complete upgrade of T3 you need a computer skill of 15 and repair skill of 21.

The Ebon Hawk problem with the Handmaidens is NOT the same problem as the Asteroid Mine droid problem. The Asteroid Mine droid problem is unique to those people who are not playing directly from a retail bought game disc. If you really do have an original retail disc, clear out your game cache by booting up 3 different Xbox games and then retrying your ORIGINAL RETAIL Kotor2 disc.

The problem is easy to solve then. If you play directly from the original retail disc which you purchased, you will not encounter this problem.

Are you playing directly from an original retail game disc? The solution to your problem depends on your answer to this question.
