Kal Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hi all, Being a huge fan of KOTOR 1, I was eager to play KOTOR 2 and I just bought my copy last sunday when I upgrade my video card :D Sad thing is: I reached TELOS and when I enter the Shuttle area, the game sometimes CRASH and REBOOT my machine. This doesnt happens everytime, but happens often (I'm still exploring the area since I just have time to play in the weekend). I did update the game but it keeps crashing-rebooting. I'm also playing Battle for Middle Earth and this problem only happens with KOTOR2. I search through the forums for something related and found nothing... any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Kal Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Thanks for the help in advance, folks. Answering - I have the lastest forceware instaled. My video card is xfx fx5200 128mgs-64 bits. And yes, as I said, the game is patched. I did formated my machine in order to install this new card, so I dont belive its a problem with formers drivers x new drivers. :cool: - My motherboard is asus a7v333. I have it for 1 year and a half now and never had this problem (or any other) with any game before (KOTOR1 included). As I said, this only happens with KOTOR2 since I'm also playing Battle for Middle Earth and its running fine here. Anyway, I played for one hour or so today and it didnt crashed-rebooted my machine. But I can say for sure this problem only happens while I'm at the Suttler area (cantina-market-etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 You most likley have the same problem as me, where certain (ver few) areas make you game very crashable. I dont have it in the same are as you, but i do get it in a few other areas. It normally only lasts whilst a certain mission or cut-scene is running. I wouldnt put it down to motherboards, not that i would rule it out entirley, it just seems a very wierd thing to be causing the problem. (i'm on an NF7-s). My advice is to do a normal save in a new slot every 20 minutes or so, and a quick save every few minutes. I've noticed in the crashable areas that quick saves *sometimes* corrupt. I;ve only had it happen a couple of times, ao i wouldnt worry about it too much. hopefully you shouldnt have any other problems with the game, as it stands, the crashing is a fairly minor one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 Thanks a lot, Cactus. I will do as you said, since I was quicksaving my game :D Will do a normal save from now on. I know that the crash-thing is a "lite" bug but what bothers me is the rebooting... I'm playing and "puf", the machine restarts. Well, lets hope its a problem that only happens in Telos, since I didnt have any kind of problem while playing the Peragus "chapter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal_01 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Try this: - Right click "My Computer", and hit Properties. - Go into the Advanced tab, and hit the Settings button under "Startup and Recovery" - Uncheck "Automatically Restart" - Keep clicking OK until you get out.

Kal Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 Just finished the game this morning and sadly, the bug I reported was a most annoying thing. I tried what cal_01 suggested, but the problem (the game suddenly reboots my machine) kept coming. It happened only in some areas: - Shuttle area (telos) - dock area, landing area (nar shaadar) - cave (korriban) - onderon (izis) - the only place safe was the market place when it happened, it also currupted the last saved game.

themacman Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 sound to me your system is either over-heating or you din't update the game and still on XP service Pack1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
