Framerate Issues

[bogarden2]

okay im kind of dumbfounded.... I was soooo looking forward to playing KOTOR 2 now im thinking i should have held my wallet for the PC version. I got a new X-Box for Christmas and with it TSL and I was a happy camper I loved the first one. To my dismay in about every snigle battle the framerate drops and my characters move so chopily that it isnt even funny. I would expect this from a slow PC but not a console game. I dont usually complain but somehow i feel cheated of my gameplay experience. I have heard rumors of other bugs as well that are causing problems. I can only wonder if there were this many bugs and the framerate drops this low how it could go un-noticed with in house testing? I dont want to return it but alas this is definatley a hinderance on my experience... Some sort of response on this would be appreciated.

Not terribly surprising, the Xbox has a 733mhz processor and 64 megs of memory shared between the CPU and GPU. It's essentially a slow PC masquerading as a console - albeit a powerful console

Yeah but it plays 99% of the rest of its games with barely any problems at all. And its not running the same res as a PC. There's no excuse for how this game plays, regardless of where the problem lies.

 

bogarden, I feel your pain. I have the exact same issues.

Yes, despite DarthPanda's efforts... console specs != pc specs.

 

Anyway, when you are experiencing slowdown in battle try switching characters (black button). The limited number of times I get a slowdown, switching to another character fixed it in a snap.
