Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I believe you have to tweak the game to run on a dual-core system... "Geez.

Gorth Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I know it isn't much help, but just a suspicion. A quick search on dual + core in this particular forum reveals quite a few threads where people have similar symptoms. They all have dual core cpu's in common. Can't say for sure if it applies to your particular situation, or even what the fix might be though, sorry :sad: “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 You might try turning off one of your cores... "Geez.

SteveThaiBinh Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 It should be perfectly possible to tell the computer to run this one game using only one of your two cores, without it affecting any other program or in any way harming the computer. The problem is I can't remember how to do it on XP, and the computer I'm using at the moment is Vista. I hope someone else can help, or perhaps you could google it?

Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Try the following: 1. Launch KOTOR2. 2. Before starting a new game, or loading an old one, ALT-TAB back to Windows -or do something else to bring up the Task Manager-. 3. Bring up the Task Manager, unless you have already done so (CTRL-ALT-DEL key combination or right-click on the taskbar). 4. Click "Processes". 5. Right click Kot0R II process (swkotor2.exe), and somewhere there should be an option Set Affinity - select CPU 0 or deselect CPU 1 (Windows should now only be using one core for KOTOR2). 6. Go back to the game and see if this helped. "Geez.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 No idea, it might be related to the other problem though... "Geez.

whitrzac Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 tuning off one of the cores is out of the question any other sugestions the game does work when i instal the updates its just that its so slow that it takes 5 min just to pick acaricter class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 tuning off one of the cores is out of the question Why? It will only affect the Kot0R II.exe and nothing else... "Geez.

mkg Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) First of all you are not turning off a core, you are just not letting the core use kotor2. When you use the task manager to change the Affinity (what cores that the process {game} can use} you block access of one of the cores to kotor2. Every thing else still uses both of the core's.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 i know i could do it but my parents wont let me :mad: Could you get them to post why they are prohibiting you from trying the fix? If not, could you post why? i also know that thers go tto be some other way That is the only solution I have heard of, so I really think you should ask them why they don't want you to try it. "Geez.

Xard Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 IIRC KOTORS WON'T WORK unless you take one of the cores off luncher screen WIN How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

mr insomniac Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I've got a core 2 duo processor, and I ran into this problem with kotor 2 as well. funny thing about it was, it didn't happen right away, but only after i'd played almost all the way through peragus, after having exited and restarted the game several times. anyway, i didn't have to turn off one of the cores to fix it. all i had to do was uninstall and re-install the game, and it's worked fine ever since, including 2 complete playthroughs and perhaps 1/3 of another. could try just doing that. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

I mean if you are willing to test people's homebrew software to sort this problem out, I think you're better off tinkering with the cores. I highly doubt your parents would understand it or for the matter figure it out (unless they are the sort of people who monitor everything you do on your computer, 24.7) Just a thought.
