DeWald Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I just purchased KOTORII and installed it today. The first time I installed it, I immediately patched it and tried to run it. The program accessed my hard drive for a few seconds and crashed without any error message. I played around with turning movies off, sound off and different resolutions. I finally decided to re-install and try again. The second time, I ran the game before I applied the patch. It ran just fine. I got bold and re-applied the patch. The game crashes shortly after I attempt to run it, now. I am running Windows XP, dual-core Intel processor, and an Nvidia 8600GT graphics card with up-to-date drivers. Several questions for anyone who may have an idea... 1) Any idea why The patch game will not run while the unpatched game runs fine? 2) Will I be able to complete this game if I don't patch it? 3) Are there other prior patches that I could download and try my luck?
Gorth Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Ironically, the patch doesn't fix any in-game bugs, it is supposed to fix some hardware incompatibility issues. If it works better without the patch, you shouldn't really miss out on anything by just playing it. Personally, I would recommend the "media" patch and a collection of bug fixes from Team Gizkas homepage. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Petra Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 2) Will I be able to complete this game if I don't patch it? I played it without any patches, and didn't encounter a single problem.
Hassat Hunter Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 You are more likely to get INTO trouble with the patch, without Gizka's fixed (cheat node) ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Never patched TSL, but it finished it a number of times with different character builds and in different ways. Short version: If it runs unpatched on your system, then don't worry about it. Indeed, I've heard patching it brings up glitches at times and thus chose never to patch it myself. Visit my KotOR blog at Deadly Forums.
JinxHacker Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Im glad I came hear and saw this before I patched mines.
