Can't play kotor II

[Rizzibukki]

Hello to everyone and sorry for my poor english.

My problem with kotor2 is i run the game, see the videos of lucasarts and other stuff, but when it's supposed to view the usual screen of "new game, load game, options..." the screen turns black and then recieve one of those annoying problem report from windows, returning to deskstop and closing the game.

 

Here are my specs:

Something strange: my video card has 256 MB, not the 512 detected.

 

I played before Kotor I and have no problem.

The game is updated, ATI drivers are updated, i've added the line to swkotor.ini that disables buffer objects (or something similar), closed firewalls and anti-virus...

I want to play Kotor II!! I've tested everything.

Thinking of renew the PC...

Plese help!!

Drop back to an earlier ATI driver for your video card.

[Judge Hades]

Also you got 3 warnings during your diagnostic. Usually 1 alone seriously hampers performance.

[zorx]

The CPU warning could have great impact on performance, all the rest is enough.

I've seen this problem with ATI cards when reinstalling different driver versions.

 

Reinstalling the game AFTER the drivers is the right thing to do but you should first remove any files/reg. entries the game left behind.

 

Another solution is format... "

[dufflover]

When you're dealing with the drivers don't forget to use DriverCleaner. And yeh, your processor is holding you back although I don't think it would crash from that.

 

Welcome to the boards...wanna play Pazaak?
