Whenever I am outside Khoonda, my game lags very bad. However, it's based on which direction my camera is facing. If I look one way, it's ok and I move fine. Look the opposite way, however, and the game almost freezes and my character jumps 50 feet. I've tried reinstalling the game, but that didn't help. I remember patching, which also didn't help.

 

This only happens outside of Khoonda, Not at the enclave, the cave, or inside the administration bulding.

Wat r ur comp specs

I have similar problems - the graphics slow down considerably when approaching Khoonda, or when facing south after the transition to the Khoonda Plains near the crystal cave.

 

(P4 3.0C, i865 chipset, 1 MB RAM, nVidia 6600GT (128 MB RAM))

 

Graphics Settings are normally: 1280x1024, 2xAA, 2xAF, High Quality Textures, Grass Enabled, Soft Shadows Enabled, Pixel Flare Enabled.

 

I've tried various graphics settings, but I couldn't nail down the reason for the stuttering (I'm pretty sure it's a combination of several factors - which leads me to believe that ultimately, is a VRAM problem). As it happens at predictable locations and times, I haven't had much reason to worry about it too much. Sure, it's annoying, but only for less than 1% of the game.

I was looking around, and saw a thread about someone with a similar problem. He had an ATI card (which I have), and downloaded the latest version of the ATI Catalyst Control. I did the same, and that solved it. This can be locked now. Problem fixed.

Shame how few people read the Trouble Shooting Guide that came with the game. This should fix your issue:

I had this exact problem with KOTOR 1 and 2. I believe it is a problem with non-nvidia graphics cards. Nvidia uses a technique called called vertex buffer objects to speed up the graphics. If you add DisableVertexBufferObjects=1 to your config file it should fix the graphics.

I had the same problem with an NVIDIA card as well, before I installed the latest drivers.

Is anyone reading my posts besides my first one? I said I downloaded the latest ATI Catalyst Control Center. That fixed it. I didn't have to add that line. Problem solved.

I god the very latest ATI catalyst control center and drivers and it did NOT fix the problem. I got the drivers straight from the ATI website.
