April 18, 200718 yr {Lie} Yes. In all seriousness, there has to be someone out there who agrees with you. Or maybe not. Edited April 18, 200718 yr by The Architect
April 18, 200718 yr NO How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
April 18, 200718 yr Something you would want to bring up at the LucasArts forums, since they ok any patches. Not that I would ever see such a patch forth coming.

April 18, 200718 yr It does seem very unlikely, and after all the problem is Vista, not the Kotors. Maybe someone could go bother Microsoft about a fix. Seriously, I got the impression that despite the problems, most people were eventually (with some tweaking) getting the Kotors to run under Vista. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

April 26, 200718 yr It does seem very unlikely, and after all the problem is Vista, not the Kotors. Maybe someone could go bother Microsoft about a fix. Seriously, I got the impression that despite the problems, most people were eventually (with some tweaking) getting the Kotors to run under Vista. I actually got TSL to run in Vista Business without any tweaking. There are lots of problems though. It frequently locks upon startup and locks once in a while during the transitions in and out of cutscenes. Also, the graphics slow down to a crawl after an hour of gameplay even on the lowest settings so I have to restart the game to get another hour of smoothness. I have a pretty good laptop too that can run games like BF2142 on high settings but get bogged down by TSL...odd.

I'm sorry to hear that, and I wish we could be of more help. :sad: All I can suggest is that you keep checking in here and in the LucasArts tech support forums, and if you ever do find a fix for that, please let us know and I'll add it to the FAQ for everyone to see.

May 15, 200718 yr I *believe* most KOTOR problems in Vista are due to sound, and the fact that Vista has a pretty bad implementation of sound which I think does not allow EAX support or any other Audio API except DirectSound. Also, I believe there is no more hardware-accelerated sound support in Vista. If KOTOR has a software audio option, or the ability to use the Miles Software Sound System, using such options should fix many problems with the game. I've not played KOTOR in quite a while so I can't check right now.
