Earthworm48,
I can confirm this, I just tried it with the 4.2 opengl driver in the kotor2 directory. It worked like a charm.
Everything seems stable and now I get the the vertex effects, too. I also tried it with the 4.11s but they didn't
work at *all*, the game was rendered totally unplayable. The picture would flash in and out, almost like a strobing effect.
This would happen if *any* of the advanced options were turned on: soft shadows, v-sync, or Vertex Frame Effects.
That the 4.2s work fine and everything after that doesn't.... Now I'm pissed at ATI for having it stay broken
for so long, and then breaking it *again* when they finally DO fix it.
I didn't even get the hanging from the cutscenes, they all played perfectly. In fact the game works better with the 4.2
opengl driver, then it did with the 5.1s even while the vertex buffer was disabled.
