[Judge Hades]

Need more details.

 

WHat is its CPU?

How much RAM do you have?

What is its graphics card?

 

That sort of thing. If I knew that I would tell you.

[tonkpils]

can't find the thingamabobber.. bear with me

[Judge Hades]

Well, when you do post your specs here and I'll will be able to help you.

this enough?

[Judge Hades]

Pretty much. I don't think it can due to your video card. Just not powerful enough.

 

You should have at least 512 MB of memory and a video card that has at least 128 MB in it, perferably one that uses a NVidia chipset. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :/

[tonkpils]

how much would i need to invest on my piece of crap?

[tonkpils]

you there?

[Judge Hades]

Mostly.

 

I don't know much about laptops to tell the truth. I play on desktop PCs and you could get a 256 MB RAM for less than $50 in some places and a decent midrange 128 MB video card for under $100 nowadays.

 

For a laptop I don't think it is that easy to upgrade.

[tonkpils]

thanks for your help... hopefully i'll learn how to understand what battlewookiee said in the near future . if you haven't figured it out yet i'm a complete retard when it comes to computers

[SteveThaiBinh]

Ermm, it's a laptop, isn't it?

 

I've read lots of people posting on this board saying they couldn't get Kotor 2 to work with a laptop graphics card, even when comparable games (with 3d graphics, I mean) work fine.

 

If I were you, I'd look in the display settings and find out exactly what graphics card you have, then post it here or email LucasArts tech support.

[tonkpils]

sorry i wasnt here earlier but it says under properties on my desktop: Digital Flat Panel (1024x768) on Intel 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv Graphics controller

[SteveThaiBinh]

Try here. Looks inconclusive, though.

[tonkpils]

do you think it would work better on kotor 1 than 2?

[SteveThaiBinh]

do you think it would work better on kotor 1 than 2?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Don't know about that, I'm afraid. You could try Bioware's Kotor 1 forums, I think they're still active.
