Dantooine Graphics Glitch?

[iosono]

Okay, having some major problems with the glitching on this game, primarily with Dantooine. Once I start walking away from the Ebon Hawk, the movements of my character suddenly start to get jerky, and he'll even freeze up. This irritates me, as I spent almost $300 on a new ATI graphics card so that I could get off Peragus (had the same problem there, as well, before I got the new graphics card). I've even installed a patch that was supposed to fix this problem (as apparently I'm not the only one experiencing it), and it still glitches. I'm not have any problems other than Dantooine. Does anyone know of some way I can get this fixed? Any suggestions would really help...

 

Thanks!

Hello, and welcome to the forums.

 

Have you tried this? (taken from the FAQ):

Q. I am having slow performance on Dantooine and/or in the Jekk Jekk Tar

A. Open SWKotor2.ini found in the map where you installed Kotor2. There find [Graphics Options] and add the line Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1

Hope this helps.

Yeah, the above should solve the problem-what your experiencing is the Gforce graphics glitch, the power of your card is irrelivent as I think its a problem with the drivers rather than the card itself. Although you might be happy to hear that Dantoonine is the only place where it happens. Without doing the above, you just have to take your fingers off the controls when things start lagging then sit there for a minute or so and the game will eventally get back to normal. When or if your charactor gets stuck switch to someone else in the group and just run off with them. The main char will unlock to follow them as long as your not in solo mode. Note that this glitch will happen everytime you enter the Koonda area regardless of where you come in from. Also worth noting that this glitch is even worse in K1, in fact Dantooine is almost unplayable due to lagg there.

So the devs forgot one line of code?!

 

 

Thats annoying, guess they never had tiem to thoroughly test the game for glitches like these.

As I said the same thing occurs in K1 as well, but the old problem was minor when I first played K1 on an Nvidea card, but is currently so bad the game is unplayable. I think the problem is more to do with the newer Nvidea drivers, rather than KOTOR, so for once this is not a glitch from the game(s) as such.
