KotOR II Movie/Music Patch Coming Soon
Sloth replied to funcroc's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Yeah, at least in a Disney movie. -
I've played trough the whole game without any major problems on a Dell Inspiron 5150 with a GeForce go 5200.

I don't think that the game will not run for most (>50%) people. You probably get a pretty bias picture of the percentage of people having trouble with the game from reading at a technical support forum.

This information is from the 24th but as far as I know nothing new has been released since then. http://forums.lucasarts.com/thread.jspa?th...=31417&tstart=0

Problem solved! I got the card replaced today. The guy at the store said that a manufacturing problem (bad memory) was verly likely the cause. It runs flawlessly with the new card! So it was a faulty card. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Hi, Sloth! I seem to have the same exact problem as you do. I have a Club3d 6600GT AGP, with P4 2.6, can't remeber which MOBO (I'm writing from work). PSU is the one that came with Antec Sonata case. Latest official drivers from NVidia. WIN2k + SP's. With 1024x768, 2xanisotropic and 2xantialiasing KOTOR2 runs like a dream. With 4xanisotropic I got the same glitches as you did after about two hours. With higher resolutions KOTOR2 was playable for maybe 30 mins. After that the game looked like your screenshot. It's a new card, so I haven't tryed it with much else than KOTOR2. Ghost Recon we played online for hours, 1280x1024, absolutely no problems, so I believe it can't be temperatures or my powerless PSU (though it's an older game). But I just checked what the release notes for the latest NVidia beta drivers said: "Issues Resolved in Version 67.03. GeForce 6600 GT AGP: Fixed a 3D corruption problem that appears when this card is used with certain motherboards, such as SIS motherboards."" So could it be, that it's just a driver problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This problem seems to be quite rare so it made me think that it could be unique to the club-3d cards. Now I get the corruption from the first second I play so it cannot be overheating I think. At least not in my case. But since you don't get the problem from the beginning and get it sooner when you have higher settings maybe you should try downloading some software that measures your GPU temperature. I have the PCI-E version of the card and I use the latest drivers (have tried with a bunch) so I'm not sure it is driver related. I'm actually pretty clueless at the moment but I have written to Club-3d support so I'll wait and see what they have to say.

Actually I have cheap ram that is not on the offically supported list, but one would think that computer would be unstable of the ram is bad, it has crashed once during a period of three weeks. Maybe I could try and borrow ram from a friend and see...
-
I tried both your suggestings but no luck, thanks for the suggestios anyway. Unfortunatly I don't know anyone with a pci-e card so I cannot try with a different card. I wrote to club 3d a couple of minutes ago, hope they will have some suggestion and not give me the usual update your drivers answer.

Thanks for the info I had just decided that something was wrong with the card then I read your post and now I just don't know.

Card in blue shot, the SLI in single mode, actually it was in dual mode from the beginning even though the manual states it should be in single mode when the card is shipped. I got the Antec 480W Neopower psu now which should be more than sufficient, I have a single 6600gt card which requires about 3.5 amps both on the 5.5 and 12v rail. All in all I need about 18amps on the 12v rail and I have 33, the margin on the 3.3 and 5.5rails is even bigger. All power connecters are plugged in. Are you running xp sp2 by the way, could the gfx drivers have problems with sp2? Thanks for suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions I have tried different drivers, I actually reformated the harddrive , reinstalled windows installed the nvidia shipset drivers ver. 6.39 and then the ForceWare 71.81 WHQL drivers. I have at least the four most recent drivers from Nvidia prior to this including the beta driver. I have also tried running the game with one ram stick at a time. Since I have this problem in other games and in 3dmark05 it is not directly related to Kotor2. My test score in 3dmark05 is a bit above 3000 so it seems the card doing ok in that respect but it does not display the grahics as it should. Don't really know what to do but I guess it's about time to contact the manufacturer.

Im running on a Antec Neopower 480W PSU now. Unfortunately I have the same problem with the game, but the problem is with all games and also in 3d Mark 2005. I get really bad fps from 3d mark 2005 so I guess a got a bad gfx card from club 3d, I

Thanks for the info. I just checked the specs for my psu and I have 18amps on the 12v rail, that could be a bit low. Anyone know if this could have damaged my gfx card permanently or will it work as it should again if I upgrade the power supply. I know it could be hard to know but your best guess would be appreciated. Cheers!

Yeah I just tried Battle for middle earth and have the same problem so something is wrong with the gfx card and/or the psu it would seem.
