February 12, 200520 yr Alright so I reserved the game weeks in advance, I run down to the store and get it wednesday ( A DAY AFTER THE FRAKKING OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE!!!), so it takes me a while to install it...And it runs good and whatnot, I tune down all the settings so that the can work....I open up the game, it works fine and whatnot, I click on "New Game" go through the "Custom Character Generation", finish it and the game starts loading, after it finishes loading.....KABOOM!!!! Armaggedon occurs, and the game just crashes on me. I reinstall it once more, and each time I go through char gen and the game finishes loading, KABOOM, KABOOM, KABOOM...and guess what....FRAKKING KABOOM!!! I'm very angry at my computer, near-on broke my monitor, but that'd cause more long-term damage to me :D Anyway, what do you think is wrong and how can I fix it?

February 12, 200520 yr when it crashes does it display an error? what kind of crash is it? blue screen? can you give us some error text to work with? it may help...
February 12, 200520 yr Author No no error messages, it just shuts off like I pressed quit....It just closes and goes back to the desktop normally.
February 12, 200520 yr No no error messages, it just shuts off like I pressed quit....It just closes and goes back to the desktop normally. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> do you have xp? goto control panel, admin tools, even viewer, then play the game till it crashes and look to see if anything was reported paste whatever happens here (hopefully something does) also have you scanned for spyware/adware and viruses with updated programs?
February 12, 200520 yr Author The Following error message appears The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.

Please run the Chkdsk utility. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> go to start run type in chkdsk and press enter i wonder why it would be corrupt... is that the entirety of what is in event viewer for the entry when the game crashes? have you scanned for spyware, adware, viruses like i said?

February 12, 200520 yr Ok...I have tried everything with this game. I have done everything I can eg Reinstalling DirectX of the game disk, Changing my settings and drivers. I have seen some improvements with the graphics however the game randomly resets my computer. It is really frustrating. Any suggestions?

February 12, 200520 yr yes, don't hijack other peoples threads that have no relation to your problem make a new thread and start by turning off auto-restart in XP so you can at least see the error Control Panel - System - Advanced - Startup and Recovery - Settings - Untick "Automatically Restart"
February 12, 200520 yr My bad...I must have been confused with frustration towards this game YOU SOLVED MY PROBLEM....U GENIUS :D (w00t)
February 12, 200520 yr Author Nope, I've done that, and the problem keeps on coming back...What if I just do a complete system restore, will that fix it?
February 13, 200520 yr ---Some Spoilers ahead!--- My game crashes on 2 occasions. Both are dialogue cutscenes. (no video sequences) First issue is after being captured by the handmaidens. In the chat with Atris, when talking about the Trial and the exiliation of the PC. When Atris talks about the past and mentioned that the PCs struck his lightsaber into the stone, the game crahses. I assume the scene shows the lightsaber, I havent seen it so far. Second issue us after leaving telos. On the ebon Hawk, T3 shows the Holo of the trial. When I tell him to play the holo, the game crashes when starting the new sequence. The first crash is avoidable, the second one prevents me from playing the game which kinda upsets me. I already tried the infamous ATI fix wihtout results. Ive updated my Cataclyst drivers. I triedstarting with deactivated sound and movies. I allso tried reinstalling the game and tried again with the former savegames. Also I expereince some overall laggy performance, which is rediculous considering the ratehr outdated visual qualitiy of the game AND the fact that the engine is trusted adn tried. Especially some serious failures at displaying the charakter models resuls in some quite grotesque geometrical construcs tending to look like from a very bad horror movie. One time, a character was displaced. When Keira talks to Atton, Atton was not in his cell at one time I tried. I found him later next to the "Last" Handmaiden, lying on the floor. When Talking to him, the dialogue happens as if he was in the cell, including Keira reacting to the questions about Attons Enchani training. here are my specs taken from the games owen hardware scan file report.
