AlanC9 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Naso's probably playing on an unsupported vidcard. I'm not aware of any significant KotOR bugs that aren't video-related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 What? An ATI card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naso Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Tyan 9600 Pro. Quite supported. I'm sorry I can't afford new hardware. This was the best I could get a while back, saving most of my money for grad school. Somehow, I don't think that means I shouldn't be able to play allegedly supported games...... http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/tyan_t...iew/default.asp My friend's got a laptop with some ATI mobile thing, also supported, I believe. It still doesn't work for him. Anyway, hopefully what Akari said will pan out and it'll be ok for ATI cards this time around at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 You can get a good GeForce under $100 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I've never spent more than $150 on a video card, and never came across a game I couldn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I've got nothing major to whine about, yet I find myself frustrated I can't enjoy my games at the highest visual quality available. On topic...God I hope they add something extra...despite the odds. I understand it can take a while to translate a game to other languages, find/fix bugs, and generally just make the title look all nice n' shiney...but 2 months? Why...oh why...would it take that long?

EnderAndrew Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I generally buy from cheap sites like www.newegg.com and wait for sales. Their everday price on a 9600 Pro with 128 megs of memory is $100 these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their everday price on a 9600 Pro with 128 megs of memory is $100 these days. 9600 Pro? Don't you mean 9800? I bought my 9600 XT 128 about eight months ago and I think it cost me about $150? I'm confused now. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naso Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I got my card like a year and a half ago or so, I think. I should have waited a couple months because the 9800 dropped in price, but can't really predict. My compy's majorly cpu limited now, since it's a p4 1.6, so upgrades are kinda out now unless I'm going to gut the whole thing, and not really qualified for that..... I'm a classics major looking at 6-7 years of grad school after this year, so not like I can take out a loan against my gigantic behemoth teaching salary either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm not exaggerating. My computer is fine, btw. I have no similar problems with other games. What do you mean by buggy copy? Perhaps you were just very lucky. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With my usual luck with computers and games running smoothly on mine, I don't think the word "lucky" fits me. After the last patch, I don't know any people who have had issues with the PC version (other than minor hiccups).

Naso Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Well maybe I'll get to check out my friend's compy sometime, but my tech readout is in that bioware thread I linked to, and I have no stability issues. The only regular crash aside from KotOR is that browser bug in Homeworld 2 they never fixed because Sierra died. I think Far Cry crashed once. It also had an ocassional problem clearing objects in the River level when reloading, though nothing crash-worthy. Doom 3 maybe once or twice, and I fooled with it a lot. UT2k4, never had the slightest problem with, except for one mod that never really worked. Can't think of anything else that's had problems.
