both kotor1/2 get the slow on dantooine even with Disabled Vertex Buffer Object. these games have the worse support in the world. they are great games but if performance is this crappy it almost make you get mad at lucasarts not paying enough to support it...

i still wished bioware would update the kotor1 game. because it currently blows in winxp2 with Nvidia 81.94.... there are some funky looking textures in both kotor1 and 2.

the most important thing they should fix are the performance issue's on both Ati and Nvidia cards. people paid 49$ for a game which wasn't abandonware "and it is starting to look like that"

that is now a very old update.

your stuck with OpenGL 1.4 and not only that it runs on top of aero which affects performance. so: you can't update to OpenGL2.0 and you can't get rid of aero under it... Windows XP OpenGL with Nvidia/Ati is fully native and doesn't run on any emulation layer like in vista. again developers screwed over by Microsoft. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, this is disinformation spread by a reactionary press. To the best of my knowledge: It will be possible to do OpenGL natively in Vista, with no speed penalty, including OpenGL 2.0, so long as it's supported by the GPU manufacturer or someone else with direct access to the GPU hardware. I'm sure Nvidia will at any rate. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sorry not true... http://www.opengl.org as pointed out by many people it's simply not possible to run OpenGL windowed or fullscreen at Native speeds there will always be a performance hit. and it's not possible to switch aero off it always translates OpenGL to DX.

No it's not...ATI's are cheaper and are at least neck-and-neck. http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.cfm?articleid=517 Although ATI have screwed it lately with the R520 while nVidia managed to get their top card out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> here in europe when i bought my 6800 it was just 150Euro's cheaper then the cheapest X800... and as a developer of OpenGL software Ati never fixed their poor OpenGL performance. and from the looks of it i wil walk around Windows vista because there is NO NATIVE OpenGL support whatsoever "which blows"

i also use to promote ati and now they turn out backwards cards without anything new and i'm not intrested. the X800 is just a 9800 with more pixel/vertex units, the x800 got nothing new and that is why i went with Nvida and the 6800 because it's cheaper and faster.

got anti-virus software running in the background?? that usualy slows things down allot.

sound to me your system is either over-heating or you din't update the game and still on XP service Pack1

"quote eula" Activision grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right and license to install and use one copy of this Program solely and exclusively for your personal use. as long as all the computers are in the samehousehold "adress" it's completly legal.

not possible there is zero hardware support on VPC or any other emulator. it will come "but not when"

there are not millions of issue's with on Nvidia hardware.

a easy to use space battle system like seen in Battlefront 2 the Kotor1/2 controles are slugish as hell.

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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i develop with OpenGL myself and Ati always manages to screw up their drivers. it's not my code because even John Carmacks Doom3 code gets crippled by Ati's drivers from time to time..
