May 30, 200520 yr what's wrong with my comp? Sometimes I get such low frame rate that I want to cry! I just got a 1 Gig memory but I can't see any change! help me I want to play the game like I'm supposed to! Sometimes I'm getting framerate like in 30s but sometimes in like 6. Like in the Onderoon palace I have this problem with KOTOR 1 too but on BioWare forum people seem to be sick of the performance issues threads.. you are nice here right?

May 30, 200520 yr your system seems fine. your processor is a little on the slow side but with that vid card you shouldn't be having problems. you may need to lower anti-aliasing as that is the biggest performance hit.
May 30, 200520 yr Author that's the thing. I shouldn't be having problems with anti-aliasing. Other people with worse computers have much better luck with games than me.
May 30, 200520 yr well... kotor2 doesn't like ati that much. try adding DisableVertexBufferObjects=1 under graphics options in the swkotor2.ini. I can't remember if there should be spaces between those words or not.
May 30, 200520 yr I'm having the same problem, I have a A64 3500+, 1 gig RAM, >70 gigs of free space in the partition, GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB. What's very odd is that no matter what I set my graphics to the frame rate appears to stay exactly the same. Once I get to the surface of Telos the game becomes very choppy and when I kill certain things(like droids with lots of effects on death)the game gets choppy. Original version or patched version gives the same results. Also I do have the newest drivers for everything.
May 30, 200520 yr Author DisableVertexBufferObjects=1 it's there. I wanted to add it yesterday but I found that it was there by itself. Yaos, annoying isn't it? Same thing with FarCry. My friend has a worse comp than me but his game worked great. Mine was choppy.
