Please post your system specs, especially your sound card and the contents of your swkotor2.ini file.

 

Many times movies will play properly if sound is disabled.

Disable sound to play movies??? OK, i will try that one.

Hmm..that's a shame. It does wonders for folks with laptops, but I see you have a good quality soundcard. I have an Audigy 2 and few sound issues myself.

 

Lowering the lines Number 3D Voices=59 and Number 2D Voices=64 to

Number 3D Voices=24 and Number 2D Voices=32 helped choppiness during movies, but I haven't had them not play.

 

Try setting Frame Buffer=0 and EnableHardwareMouse=0. I doubt that the hardware mouse is the issue but it's been known to happen. Frame Buffer Effects on the other hand have apparently been the key for a couple of people to get the game working.

 

And most definitely add the line Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1 under [Graphics Options]. That setting has worked miracles for people with slowdowns in the game, though I don't remember hearing of it fixing any movie issues.

 

I'm sorry I can't provide any surefire answers. You don't have any obvious problems, and it's only been a little more than a week since I got the game, so I'm still learning its quirks.

 

Good luck, and post back with results if you can.

[Curst]

Nothing helped. Thanks for the suggestions anyway!

 

Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1 actually seems to made the game run worse. I

check the kotor2 ini file, and make sure the fullscreen option is set to "1" (there are two lines in that file setting the fullscreen, and both must be set to "1" ) That did it for me.

[Curst]

Both "Fullscreen=" are set to 1.

 

My guess is that [Display Options] is for the movies. What does your look like? There might be some difference in our configurations.

almost same than yours. phunny thing is that when you play it on "windowed mode", you can see these movies.
