Revan

17 but 18 in a month finally

well i have been using the latest driver and it still crashes and stuff so they havent fixed problems with kotor 2 very well lots of people are having problems with ATI cards and this game. kotor ran poorly on catalyst 5.2 but well on 4.11 i think i used in the end surely newer drivers should be better or whats the point in making them you shouldn't have to change drivers for different game its stupid and i never had a problem with using the latest nvidia drivers

Well i upgraded my nvidia 64mb ti4200 a couple weeks ago to a radeon 9600XT. And now have proof there is something seriously wrong with this game. the game kept crashing with my ATI card and there were major bugs Good job i kept my old geforce i got stuck on Telos where i had reactivated a old space ship the video escaping the military base wouldnt play and i kept crashing out to a windows error. After retrying 4-5 times and still not gettin past the video i decided to wack my old geforce into my machine now the game runs fine no crashing and even runs smoother with a g card that is half as powerful as the one i bought 2 weeks ago. This clearly shows the game has no support for ATI cards so why put this on the back of the box, when your clearly supporting NVIDIA chipsets Because of this however i will be sending my ATI card back to get a geforce 6 card. As the support for ATI cards is terrible its not just Obsidians fault its ATI's as they dont produce drivers to fix problems. With kotor when i played it through on my ATI card i had to use old drivers rather than the new ones because it became laggy but was smooth with the old ones This leads me to think what are ATI upto fixing problems then unfixing them so i will be reverting back to geforce as i had no problems with them before, luckily i only bought the card 2 weeks ago so i can. But i dont feel that it is right for Obsidian to say the game supports a chipset when it clearly doesnt. I feel for other ATI users in a way they've discriminated against people with ATI cards and this isn't fair the matter should be address and fixed befored the game is released. I admit im taking drastic action sending my ATI card back but i had no problems running on Geforce cards for the last 10 years, and to have this much trouble trying another chip that did have good reviews has totally thrown me off ATI chips, so il be happy to go back to NVIDIA. What do other people think about this?

I was thinking about this last night AlBQuirky and i relised i forgot to say anything about the last jedi, it is a bit wierd how your meant to be the last jedi but yet kreia is a jedi as well even says shes a Jedi Counsular so you cant be the last jedi, which kind of defeats the storyline right from the start. However i think that in the early script of the game it does say they are not sure how many jedi is left and it is believed you are the last which may explain kreia being a jedi, but i think she is the the one that tells you this so oviously she must know your not the last jedi. Not very well thought through really I also thought of another major resemblence from kotor one of the main parts from kotor cant believe i missed it last time. In TSL you have a bond with kreia, wonder where they took that from? If they ever make kotor 3 and put another bond in if this is vital to all the games would be interesting if they place it between you if you are on the light side and your enemy the sith lord or something like that so you can feel the dark side constantly and are forever tempted. Could lead to many twists. Also Bulgaroctonus the it didnt happen in kotor but the backgroud you get from the text which build the picture of what happened before you awoke in the space ship as a scout tells you that you were once Revan and you apprentance Malak, you worked as Jedi but then relised the teachings were weak and pointless so they move to the dark side they were two of the most powerful jedi in the galaxy and Revan became the sith lord, then after time the republic invaded his ship, Malak fired apon it and so on, and the republic captured you and turned you against them. So even thou you do not preform it in the game taking into consideration the story they tell you about the happenings of before you awake on the shift you were once a jedi on the LS then became the sith lord DS and then fought against the DS on the LS to kill Malak

I see what you mean, the resemblances in some instances look like they've just played the 1st game and thought, hey that bit was good we'll stick it in the begining of the sequal aswell. I thought the storyline on kotor was great how you were once lord of the sith, only to be captured and turned against the evil you once stood for, and to defend the light just as revan intended to before the dark side took him, it was twisted but made it interesting. Hopefully as i (we) get further into the sequal it will develop as good as the 1st did allthough the stuff they get you to do at the moment is fairly similar to the first game. Despise this im hoping the storyline will keep me hook but if it turns out to not be very good i wont be happy with my purchase. The fact it crashes constantly when my system is more than powerful enough to handle it, i just decided to give the swoop races a miss and move on to the surface of telos caus i wana see whether the game could get any more annoying.

Well i calmed myself down and realised punctuation is very important

Sorry i wasnt thinking i was in quite a rage because the game crashed just before i wrote it and i was the end of being able to control my annoyance

Well just wanted to see really what other peopler thought of the sequal i got hooked on kotor and it was great when i got past the driver problems with my ATI. It has to be said thou it ran fine on my Nvidia card but still the game shouldn't be designed for one type of chipset its a disadvantage to many pc users with ATI cards. Despite this kotor didnt have many bugs in that i noticed when i played it through. My excitement for the sequel was building and i was devistated to have to wait longer than the Americans to obtain the game. However when i did get it last friday i installed it and then started to play it everything was going well and i was really enjoying it until i left for telos where the video kept crashing and bring up the windows crash dialog it took me 3 attempts of reloading the game to get past the movie and now it continues to randomly crash Also the swoop racing is terrible iv done quite alot on Telos and want to wind swoop races to raise the 2000 credits to free the dancer as i will never surrender to the dark side. I cannot do this thou because when i took a practice run i had to forfit because i didnt know how to jump and my swoop got stuck now whenever i go to race my swoop is glued to the ceiling and i cant pick up any boosts. The game is majorly bugged come to think of it when i 1st started playing my character got stuck in a wall and i had to save and then load to get myself out of the situation. Dispite the bugs the gameplay is everything i had expect just as good as kotor and gripping i love it and could play it for hours if i didnt get so frustrated by the random crashes and little things such as the swoop racing stopping me from pursuing the path i wish to choose, because of this it makes me not wish to play it because its just not worth it if i cant mould my character the way i want him to be, but waiting for a patch is just too annoying as iv allready waited so long for the sequal to arrive! Anyway what are other peoples thoughts on the game?
