Blame ATi. They've had broken gamma in their OpenGL drivers for a VERY long time. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread...newpost&t=48841 http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33811384 6800GT runs this game flawlessly for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Please stop it with the flame war. I had endless bugs with Nvidia and i don't get them anymore. the only time i get problems is when the sodding developer of the game doesn't code it properly to run right with ATI. It is the devs fault NOT ATI or Nvidia.

I was just gonna state that. you beat me to it. grrrrr. i am gonna go back to 5.3 because then i could use the 4.3 to get the nifty glow back.

I doubt they will add the X-Box Live feature.......it would cost too much.

what makes you think it was meant to work anywhere else? you should have an item that gives you all sorts of immunities including poison......but i have yet to encounter any bugged powers, but i ain't a force power hog that relies on it too much.

And the point of that was? <_< Thanks for letting me know the new ones were out. Unfortunatly it is too late to test them out. The release notes do say that the massive 1 frame per 5 second drops in places like Dantooine should be gone since those also happened in KOTOR 2, there are a few known issues they had from the last release that apparently they have not fixed though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The release notes lie, the slowdowns in Dantooine are still there. And gloom effect still won't work either. Maybe they meant to say the slowdowns will be fixed "soon"... Back to the 4.3 dll for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, it appears to have lessened the severe slowdown on Peragus, perhaps this slowdown fix needs you to start over from scratch. lol But i will find out when i get to the spot where T3-M4 gets zapped. lol

These guys are pretty cool i guess, but i am a woman only type of dude I personally prefer a nice candle lit dinner with a real woman instead of a game character. But if i woke up in the Kotor II game, i would go with Mira, Visas is abit too submissive for me. (if i wanted a woman like Visas, i would use a blowup doll. lol) But i think there should be more romance in this game, but not too much to make it adult or something like that. You should at least see some kissing or something. lol The kids are gonna see stuff like that eventually, better to see it on a game or a movie then in person, if you know what i mean.

Yeh tell me about it. I had a decent idea, but people nagged about it taking too long, i think a long development is good for a game.....but Lucasarts are abit cheap, so i doubt they would do it.

Well, i hope it does take that long, it just means that they worked on it more.

I like anything starwars....well except Force Commander, i thought that game sucked. :/ I think Lucasarts are running out of ways to make games without screwing up the timeline. lol Well, lets all hope they do a better job next time instead of rushing a game that imo would have rocked big time, so that it doesn't clash with a game that imo sucked bigtime. but i won't hold my breath

Well, i think Kotor I is far better, considering i can play Kotor I over and over again. While Kotor II is boring after you complete it once on the LS and DS. Kotor II could have been better, but Lucasarts ruined it by rushing it out to retail because they didn't want it to clash with their 'Republic Commando' product that sucks big time. They should have delayed Republic Commando and gave Kotor II some more development time.

Yeh, the random loot sucks big time....i use the KSE as well. but you could use the mod that allows you to make robes at the workbench. http://www.pcgamemods.com/10925/ I ain;t sure if it allows lightsabers as well, but it does robes for sure.

easy? nope! I killed everything that could get killed, depending on the allignment of my characters and i never picked up a single Double Bladed Lightsaber until right at the end of the game and i never picked up a single robe, which kinda made me not use any powers at all unless i wanted to be virtually defenseless. So, i think they need to take away the random loot because it is killing the gameplay imo.

it all works fine for me. Master Flurry, Master Speed, Master Fury, Saber Staff = total ownage. :D you might just be unlucky. the only problems i get are the occasional broken quest and the slowdowns on Peragus and Malacor V.

try longer, i want a brand new engine....new everything.

That is besides the point. Its like on Kotor I, i used to edit the saved game to change my Scoundrel from having Critical Strike to Flurry. (he would count that as cheating......is it?)

I gather you wasn't too concerned with lack of skills also, alot of people nag that the game is too easy, perhaps they are powergaming, because when i play normally, regardless if i put all my points on DEX, i get hurt alot and fast....so unless you plan to use blasters until you get your saber, DEX can stay on 10. (it would allow you to wear Armour with restrictions on DEX bonuses. I have noticed that i pick up Mandalorian Armour (10-13 Defence 0 DEX Bonus) more often then i pick up a Jedi Robe, which is really annoying. So, thanks to Kotor II's crappy random loot generator, i have gotten bored of force powers, so i tend to put no points in WIS or CHA. (and no, the random loot does not make me wanna play it again to see what i can get the next time...it puts me off) It was cool on Diablo II because your powers that used Mana was never, ever restricted by your armor. I personally find it stupid when Force powers are restricted by Armour (well, non-jedi Armour anyway) because if it blocks your powers, then it would technically make it useless against anyone wearing armour. They could have at least made it easier for Robes and Sabers to be looted and i don't mean to mysteriously loot a lightsaber or a robe off of a droid. (it then gets extremely stupid) If i knew how to mod, i would make a better random loot mod. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why don't you download the Mods that allows you to make Robes and armor on the workbench in the Ebon Hawk and other places? Real Jedi know how to sew <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I already did, but my brother thinks that it is counted as cheating and that if you don't finish the game without cheating, then you really haven't finished the game.

This is another idea of mine...Let me know what you think: It would be cool, just to start as a Jedi Padawan or a Sith Padawan and you choose from the start which one you will be and you will choose what Revan and the Exile did. (Lightside, Darkside, Male or Female) Both Starts in a different location and they all have different quests. I think that instead of just Levels there should be ranks also: Jedi Apprentice Jedi Padawan Jedi Knight Jedi Master Or however the rank goes. when you start, you design your character, nothing gets chosen for you, no feats, no class skills, no force powers and no classes. You choose your characters' appearence and name and you start at the respecting Academy (Jedi or Sith) and the first thing you do is pick which feats you will start with. (and i don't mean all the way up until Master Flurry and Master Dueling or whatever you like to pick) So, instead of starting with useless feats that you will never use, you will only have the ones you want to use. (Feats that effect Ranged Weapons will not be available) Your Force Powers and Feats will not be learned like it is on Kotor I & II, you will need to be taught them by your Masters (Since you can only learn everything by cheating, you will have seperate masters) But as it is with the classes in Kotor I & II, you can't focus on Combat like a Guardian or a Weapon Master or a Marauder and still focus on force powers like a Consular or a Jedi Master and a SithLord. If you picked the Jedi Guardian/Weaponsmaster/Marauder route, you will be focusing on Saber Combat, but you will have force powers, but don't rely on them to save your ass. The same goes for the Jedi Consular/Jedi Master/SithLord route, you will be relying on your force powers because lets face it, your combat skills will suck big time. lol With Skills, you can choose your main skills and you will need the right amount of Intelligence to keep them up. (Inbetween your combat or force usage training, you go through learning the class skills you want and your intelligence will get bonuses from your learning as will your Strength, Wisdom and Charisma) STR = Combat Training WIS & CHA = Force Training INT = Skill Training You can master skills, but the more time you spend learning skills, the weaker you will get with Combat and Force powers So, it will be something like this: Combat Master Combat: Strong Force: Weak Skills: Average Force Master Combat: Weak Force: Strong Skills: Average Skill Master Combat: Weak Force: Weak Skills: Strong This part will be a prologue type of thing, like on Kotor II....you can skip it and you can pick quickly what stuff you want. In the game itself, you will be able to visit dozens of planets with 2 missions and they will be as follows 1: Cause Havoc / Protect The Innocent (its obvious which is which) 2: Find Force Sensatives (same for both sides) Not sure whatelse to do. :/ But what do you think so far?

I gather you wasn't too concerned with lack of skills also, alot of people nag that the game is too easy, perhaps they are powergaming, because when i play normally, regardless if i put all my points on DEX, i get hurt alot and fast....so unless you plan to use blasters until you get your saber, DEX can stay on 10.

(it then gets extremely stupid) If i knew how to mod, i would make a better random loot mod.

Well, being evil isn't my kinda thing, but i tried it, but lost the stomach for it on Nar Shaddaa...but from my experiences until then is that you don't get any different missions, its the same missions, just from a different point of view, with dialog changes and minor objective changes. Well, for example: For the Lightside you will be asked to save someone, but the darkside would be to kill them instead. (but there are no different missions, they are just finished in a different point of view) If there are any, point them out please. Well, i would say, 2 LS and 2 DS (2 Male and 2 Female) other then that, no replay value. But you can use different builds, but don't see the point. I don't see the point in playing on a higher difficulty then Easy, since you don't get any special bonuses for it. (more XP or more rewards without DS points if you are playing LS) But everyone has their own opinions...right guys?

I totally agree there. granted there are times, i thought about going to Nvidia, but the overheating they cause stops me from thinking that. But If ATI doesn't get off its' ass and fix the glow problem in their drivers, i will be forced to stop using the 4.3 dll file that fixes it since the X800 cards aren't support in the 4.3 drivers

Dark Helmet: I told you to fire accros your nose, not UP it! Corporal 1st Class Philip ****: I'm sorry sir, i'm doing my best. Dark Helmet: Who made that man a gunner? Major ****: I did sir! Hes' my cousin. Dark Helmet: Whos' He? Colonel Sandurz: Hes' an **** Sir! Dark Helmet: I know that! Whats' his name!? Colonel Sandurz: That is his name sir! Major **** Dark Helmet: And the gunner? Colonel Sandurz: Hes an **** too sir? gunner 1st Class Philip ****. Dark Helmet: How many **** we got on this ship anyhow? Everyone: Yo! Dark Helmet: I knew it, i'm surrounded by ****! Keep Firing ****! lol I so loved that movie.

I normally use this setup: STR - 16 DEX - 10 CON - 10 INT - 18 WIS - 8 CHA - 8 I use a Sentinel and if you don't put any points in Stealth (which is a waste of skill points anyway, you will have enough for the rest. Since i never use force powers since they are way over powered, i don't lose out here. You might say, with that DEX and CON, you are gonna die fast. (it makes no difference, even if DEX was 20 instead of 10, it doesn't decrease the chance to hit for the enemy (not that i have noticed anyway...the AI do just as much damage at just the same amount of time regardless of your dex levels. I always end up editing the saved game anyway to give my party members robes and lightsabers since there is like a 5% chance you will get a single robe that will go to you and your party members will go robeless and saberless for 90% of the game. If you never made your own saber, i doubt you would get a saber for the whole game either. So, when i turn my team members into a jedi, i get them either a Saber, two sabers or saber staff, depending if they have dueling or two handed fighting feats. If the loot wasn't so unrealistically random, i wouldn't need to do that.

Well, it would be rather funny if all they were doing correcting spelling and grammer mistakes and leave everything else alone. lol

Yeh, an example is Vampire - Bloodlines Activision just says its our machines that are not good enough. lol My Brother couldn't run it any faster then i could. I have: AMD AthlonXP 2600+ 1024MB DDR PC2700 ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB My Brother has Intel Pentium IV 2.8Ghz (HT) 1024MB DDR PC3200 (Dual Channel) Nvidia GeforceFX 6800Ultra 256MB I find it funny that we both get the exact same performance. (crap performance) But where is this unofficial content patch thingy? (a website perhaps?)

Are you mental? they haven't done a thing about a patch. just saying 'coming soon' for months and from what i hear, it has been done for ages and is waiting for Lucasarts to get off their asses and release it, but i doubt it will fix anything.
