Personally, I just loaded (or started to load) the area, alt-tabbed out and looked at the file name of currentsavegame (or perhaps it was temp) contents.

the solution was for eskareta's problem sorry yours look like a corrupted savegame

The solution is here http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=29475 Next time, please use the search option

It's a subquest

Sorry, was sleeping at that time In any case - more details about the hex edit (for future incidents) - the file is savenfo.res, look for the literal area name and right after it is the name of the area code. Replace it with requested area code. 601DAN is the area code for Dantooine's first area, the rest of the area codes are derived from the module filenames in Modules subdirectory. Alternatively, one could probably use a GFF editor, such as KotorTool

Well, I played the game with Sentinel/Weapon Master By the end of the game, my stats were something like 31str, 26dex, 25 con, 26 wis, 14 con, 15 cha (not exact, but you get the idea). Even without Force Storm - 1 touch of Force Enlightement gave me enough speed to kill the final boss in ~3 rounds and any enemies in 1 round or less (I used two lightsabers) The only challenging parts were - Other than that, nobody ever died in my party, and I barely healed.

This would be a prime case of "there's memory corruption, we did not fix it yet, but you have a window of around 30-40 minutes before it kills the runtime" In any case - overall, the game is very enjoyable, albeit a bit too short for my taste....took me 20 hours from start to finish with all subquests done, whereas KoTOR 1 took around 35 hours. Maybe it's because I played half of the game with constant Force Speed on

What I can agree with: - Crashes: numerous, some look like memory corruption (i.e accessing 0xfffffff0), some look like null dereferencing. Happen sometimes immediately after area transitions, happen during use of force powers - crashed twice when using Force Storm. I noticed that entering an area with Master Speed on, is more likely to cause the game to crash. -Horrible framerate at times: Dantooine. On my system, I experience single digit framerate (and the associated problems - instant movement across the map, etc) when looking from one end of the area (i.e the landing pad) to another (i.e the Kilrath cave area). Now, one might argue that I have a weak PC, however, my PC has solid specs (A64 3200+, 1GB ram, X800 Pro), and the framerate is in single digits regardless of settings - tried at 640x480 with everything off and 1024x768 with everything on, 6xAA, 16xAF. Also, one time, Dantooine area refused to load completely, leaving me on black screen with mouse pointer. I was able to fix that by hacking the saved area name, loading the savegame, after a short time it loaded the Ebon Hawk interior and after that it was fine. Also, a lot of the exploits from the xbox version that are described in the FAQs are in the PC version as well - i.e the infinite experience exploits on Korriban and Nar Shaddaa (haven't used them, but verified that they are there - I was too powerful by the end of the game anyway, it took 2 rounds to finish the endgame villain)

Fixed it by some savegame hackery (edited the area code in the savegame, loaded, after a few seconds, it reloaded ebon hawk interior, and afterwards, it loaded the area fine) Wasn't a terribly pleasant experience

After getting control of Ebon Hawk, I went to Korribane, then decided to do Dantooine first. After getting there, I exited the ship, talked to the person near the landing pad (the one that asks you if you are a plunderer) and told her to forget that I have been there. Then I went back to the ship and had a fight with Visas. Now, after I ended the fight, I can't exit the ship anymore, the first dantooine area (601DAN) crashes during load. Warping to 602DAN loads that area fine, however exiting from 602DAN to 601DAN crashes the game as well. Loading any other game areas works fine. Please advise as to possible course of action, I've tried going to other areas and back already, and it did not work. As of right now, I can't proceed in the game.
