For the rebooting: You may want to check the motherboard you're using. It could be your CPU (that is if you built your PC from scratch.) Though I'm not a computer expert... yet. ^_^ But I can tell you that from experience.

 

Now in dantooine have a quest "Redemption" i dunno how finish it, i think dont have a final, probably game bug.
That quest is bugged in the game itself and is currently being fixed by TSLRP.

And wtf is TSLRP?

If you haven't heard, TSLRP is a gourp of people named Team Gizka dedicated to restoring the cut content to what Obsidian Ent. really intended the game to be. The "Redemption" quest happens to be one of them. You might want to take a look at it here:The Sith Lords Restoration Project

 

Be warned: Spoilers within if you haven't finished the game.

 

Edit: a little fixy.

Look, this bug is kind of getting beyond my expirence with PC's. I can work things out if it's hardware, but software... :ermm:

 

The other people here could try explainning this out for you, but the above suggestions is all I can give you. Sorry.

 

EDIT: :wub: !(I overlooked something) which reminds me, you stated you're running the game on 1024x768 HIGH mode, you might want to turn that down to 800x600 low mode. This is a guaranteed safe mode for the game.

Well, since it worked with SP1 and not with SP2, it's not an problem introduced by OE, isn't it?

 

It's more likely something (Bik-movies?) of your system is incompatible with SP2.

Might wan't to check if some back-ground program doesn't try to seek internet-connection during your play and runs into the firewall...

Also, do you have used Windows Update to install all patches?

 

Also try to re-install and play without 1.0B. It may fix issues for some, but for others it gives new ones...

 

EDIT: Do you log-in (on XP) as administrator?

I talked with my friends play this game, and they said to me dont play in sp2, because have a lot of bugs, by new built on sp2.

Ok, i will check all imcopatible bugs and code a unofficial patch (i will not add my credits only obsidian), probably will update only some system files, im not sure now, in few days i post the patch.

 

Thx

You might wan't to read this see if it helps:

 

http://www.tweakguides.com/KOTOR2_1.html

 

Also, try updating drivers of your Video-card, or if most modern; down-grade them...

 

PS. Also have SP2 and both Kotor2 (fine; all) and SA (occassinal crash) work like a charm, so it's not a SP2 introduced issue (if everybody with SP2 had this this tech-help forum might have a lot more complaints)

 

Have a problem if i code a patch and public here?

 

Thx

 

No

 

And about why does X work but Y not:

Games and other PC-Programs are strange things. Even if your PC works perfect one day you'll meet a program who changes that, or just doesn't work (for total unknown reasons)...

Ok fixed module nvoglnt.dll (nvidia module), now game will not call to unknown function to geforce fx 5200 probably works for all geforce class, but another modules continues crashing. Ill continue posting my progress and when its finished i will public this patch.

 

UPDATE: im getting tired! Only in this area happen it argh!

 

UPDATE 2: My pc infos.

 

UPDATE 3: Ok, its my last update in this topic about this bug. Well i discovered something, Game call a correct fuction to video adapter but xp2 have not much support from geforce5 and earlier versions from geforce, and when video adapter call fuction to kernel32 he think is a unknown function. So the best thing to do when have this video adapter is back to sp1, i cant do nothing i havent windows xp sp2 source.

probably no, see notes a lot of CRASH BUGS fixed, and i tested using 1.0 on sp2. With patch or without patch bug continues... Im not so stupid, yet;

 

NOTE: I fixed this bug on secret academy/telos and polar region/telos now geforce dont request unknown command, but game gets slow, but i cant do nothing.

NOTE 2: On dantooine jedi enclave sub-level this bug happens too, incredible, im tired.

 

UPDATE: If anyone want help-me or have some ideas, pls letme know.

Well, problem isnt the game resolution or video quality. Ive played fine kotor2 on windows xp sp1, the problem is a possible incompatibility in windows xp sp2 and game with some video card.

 

And about reboot, probably, windows think game is using more memory than have in pc.

 

Thanks!
