Hawkev2: My personal experience is that this fix worked. My issues were that I couldn't use the workbench, my journal was blank, and I was trapped in the secret academy on Telos because my allies were not in the building. Okay, I'll take you through what I did, plus how I screwed up. I have a new Xbox, the one that comes with one disc that has NCAA football 2005 and Top Spin. So to do the cache-clearing fix, I put in the first disc (madden football) and waited for it to load to the main menu. I shutdown and put in the next disc, the one with two games on it. I booted up to the main menu for NCAA football. Shutdown, left the disc in and booted up to the main menu for Top Spin. Shutdown, loaded up KotOR2. Didn't work. I deleted saves from the hard drive via the memory screen. Tried to start a new game. No dice, same old bugs right from the start. THEN, I decided that maybe even though that one disc had two games, it was still treated as one by the Xbox. I did the whole process again, except I used an actual third disc in the process (Lord of the Rings: Third Age). Started a new Star Wars file. It worked. The bug never popped up again for the rest of the game and I had only one glitch the rest of the way, a cutscene froze when I had a certain person in my party. My belief is that I didn't have to delete those save games, and had I simply loaded up three different discs in the first place, my saves would have been playable. But I'm not sure. So anyway, in short: load three different games (not including Star Wars) up to their main menus. These three games will then be stored in the Xbox cache and KotOR2 will be cleared out. Load up KotOR2 and it will properly renew its cache from the disc, clearing your problems. Hopefully. Good luck.

My personal list of bugs discovered through the first 10 hours of play: *Unable to use workbenches *Journal entries are no longer being added. I believe this happened as soon as I arrived on Telos. *In the polar region of Telos, my companions never appear in the prison so I can't rescue them. Which means I can never leave. Reloading the autosave from the arrival in the polar region has not helped. Related to this issue: I'm gathering I'm not seeing a part of a cutscene involving Kreia talking with Atton. Basically they seem to disappear from the game once I enter the lair of the handmaidens. I'll be restarting my entire game tonight which sorta kinda sucks. No doubt I'll go very dark side as a result. New Xbox, new KotOR game...it was all supposed to be so perfect...
