Burnzzz Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Since both games were most buggy I thought I should do a poll to see what do you think, which game from the two in the series has more bugs. Please answer the poll of what game was more buggy before you downloaded the patch (or a patch), i.e - just when you got the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Scientist Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I didn't buy KotOR I untill after a couple of patches were already out, so I downloaded the patches for it before I ever played it. Still, I encountered quite a few bugs. KotOR II definitely has been buggy. I'm not very far into the game, and already I've had as many problems as I did with KotOR. But it's unfair for me to compare the unpatched KotOR II with the patched KotOR I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_990 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Kotor1 v1.0 worked for me except for one bug (Leviathan loading bug) without a single problem. v1.01 to 1.03 worsened the whole game. Kotor2 v1.0 has far more bugs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebor Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I had no problems at all with KoTOR 1. I've reached a point where KoTOR II is no longer playable. 100% crash at the same point, every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashiki Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 KoTOR, when it was first released it had the famous I845/I850 bug which made the game unplayable for large segments of purchasers. Slowdown/studder/jumps/crashes. The game shipped like this, just "how" I sure don't know since that chipset covered a massive segment of the market a few years ago. The only two solutions to this were: Overclocking your machine by a few mhz which I found and posted on the BW boards. Second was to wait for a patch.

Berkut Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 KOTOR2 has more bugs, but it also has more content in my opinion... If bugs/glitches get fixed, quality sound pack added and ending fixed up (chances of it are low), then we would have a great title... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generic superhero Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I couldn't even play Kotor1 when I first got it due to an issue with ATI drivers - it would crash when loading new levels. Eventually new Radeon drivers fixed it, and I've played through it several time since then. It's gonna end up being the same thing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirDuke Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I had no problems at all with KoTOR 1. I've reached a point where KoTOR II is no longer playable. 100% crash at the same point, every time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> EXACTLY the same for me!!! though i had an nVidia back then... but that shouldn't be the problem cause today i borowed a friends nVidia but still cant make KOTOR2 play (1/3 loading problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrama Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 KOTORII by far. I could atleast play KOTOR without it crashing right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Dahvernas Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 KOTORII by far. I could atleast play KOTOR without it crashing right away. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Sith Lords. There are massive performance problems as well as potentially game stopping glitches and bugs -- Telos Swoop racing anyone? Crashes to Desktop? Etc, etc. The only problem I had with KOTOR I out of the box was the streaming audio problem that seemed to eat up to many CPU cycles (even if you had a separate sound card), but the game was (still) much more polished and stable than TSL is.

Judge Hades Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 You forgett the third option which is the same. Once I got done redoing my drivers and properly updated them I had about the same problems I had with KotOR 2 that I had with KotOR 1 unpatched.

Glacius Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I've had none of the major bugs/glitches people complained about in KOTOR II. It played relatively smoothly with a few crashes, but nothing serious enough to make it unplayable. KOTOR 1 was also like this, so I'd say they are about the same unpatched.

Burnzzz Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Well... I remember a lot of bugs in KOTOR I, but I was still able to play it and the patch was released pretty fast, anyway to almost everyone it was playable, no as KOTOR II, which is not playable to a LOT of people who are very pissed off for paying there money and can't play it and see lucasarts doesn't really care either. Conclusion: DON'T BUY THE GAME OR IF YOU HAVE THE GAME DON'T PLAY IT YET BECAUSE OF THE MANY BUGS IT HOLDS, WAIT FOR A PATCH FIRST! Don't be fools like me get to the last planet and experience a bug which you can't avoid of and you can't continue in the game because of it, so now I can't play, annoying lucasarts.

AnakinSolo2002 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 KotOR 1 had more issues initially, but the patches quickly began to fix it, It was perfect by patch 1.02, but (for me) 1.03 totally trashed it. IMO, KotOR 1, was more unplayable initially, and I even get MORE FPS in K2, and I think it even looks 3 times better, on my PC anyway. So I suppose if your PC isn't exactly like mine then you wouldn't know what I am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieKirby Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 considering that when Kotor I came out, i couldn't play it at all until 1.03 patch was released, so i think Kotor I was more buggy at release. since i can play Kotor II without a problem (besides the major slowdown on all ATI and Nvidia Cards) it isn't as buggy. but it does need bug fixing.

themacman Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 for me it was KOTOR1. maybe because i played version 1.0, and it was buggy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 KOTOR 1. It'd crash everytime I'd want to use a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcapellman Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I never had any problems with Kotor 1 out of the box, I guess I was lucky. Kotor 2 on the other hand is more buggy then a bee hive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had tons of troubles with KotOR1 and none with KotOr2 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm getting to the point where I am just going to give up. I've lost my entire party, I randomly die even if I have full health, conversation bugs plague every conversation and I occasionally get sent into never-never land where I can't move at all (clipping issues I'm assuming). I can understand a few scripting bugs here and there but there is just no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintDESTRUCTION Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I never patched Kotor 1 ... and only had a lightsaber turning bulky green glitch. Everything else I never noticed any problems at all! GeForcefx 5200 Amd AthlonXP Kotor 2 on the other hand... I only get scripting errors. Where conversations loop awkwardly (ie lady quits pazzak forever but bug allows you to loop to a challenge) Other then small script bugs and some design shortcommings like lack of npc speech... I got no problems with the game. ALSO: I read about the BUG where your party turns all evil if you play as good... so Ive been playing as a Dark Jedi.

Reinoc Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I didn't have any problem with Kotor 2, but had a few crash to desktop with Kotor 1. So Kotor 1 was buggier for me. Not much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnzzz Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 In my personal opinion KOTOR II or course, i can't continue playing and they are delaying with this damn patch, come on already, it's a shame to miss such a good games because of bugs, haven't you learned anything from KOTOR I?

11238_1556103629 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 KotOR II for sure, I could play KotOR I without any problems, even without any patch... In KotOR II I just can't get past a god damn turbolift to enter the fuel mining depot during the first mission, game keeps locking up on loading screens or CTD's at random during the game and after days of torture getting the game to actually play with sound.... So my conclusion is: KotOR II is by far the buggiest game I've ever encountered in my entire life, and I'm not exaggerating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
