Need Help

[Frito Bugger]

Fellow gamers:

 

I am having a lot of trouble with the game. In the prologue, I cannot get the robot to move. I tried skipping the prologue and found the same problem in the medical area. My PC would move every so often but there was little control because of the delay and non-responsiveness. As it stands now the game is unplayable. This is dissapointing as I am a big fan and was really looking forward to trying this out. My dxdiag is attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Okay, now just to be clear, everything is displaying properly right? No actual graphical issues, its just that your controls won't work?

 

can you please post your swkotor2.ini file (located in your main SWKotOR2 folder)

and also your swplayer.ini

 

have you patched the game to the latest patch?

Well, actually everything seems slow and stutters a lot as well.

 

The game has the latest patch.

 

The forum would not allow me to upload either of those files. It says that I cannot upload that type of file.

I will assume that this is a laptop. I think this is the problem:

Card name: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000/9100 IGP

Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.

Chip type: MOBILITY RADEON 9100 IGP AGP (0x5835)

your graphics card was meant for things web surfing and movies not for games. You might want to update the drivers (go here).

[Deadly_Nightshade]

So, I looked into your Integrated graphics processor (IGP) and found this review:

ATI Mobility Radeon 9000/9100 IGP:

 

* DirectX Level: DirectX 8.1

* Pipelines: 2 Pipelines

* Memory Configurations: 128-bits, shared with system

 

Not completely miserable but not stellar, either. These usually are only found on Pentium 4 notebooks, and if they're only found on Pentium 4 notebooks, chances are you won't ever be using them anyhow. For the curious, though, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Half-Life 2 on low settings will be about as far as you'll go.

 

Based on this, and some other research I did, I would guess that you need to either get more RAM or your IGP might simply not be able to handle Kot0R 2. You should definitely set everything to low and tweak the ini to remove some of the optional graphics - but that is about all you can try.

[Swxpert]

also try it without the patch

[Deadly_Nightshade]

I doubt that would change anything.

[Swxpert]

i'm just tring to cover all the bases, this game (like many) really wasn't ment to be played on a laptop, i think 1. get more ram

2. try it on a desktop

[Enoch]

I successfully ran KotOR 2 on my laptop with a Radeon Mobility 9000 back when the game was new. Got some stuttering in the movies and the occasional crash, but it worked.

 

 

Edit: Mine was the AGP interface version, so your mileage may vary.

Have you tried playing the game without installing it on your computer? You should try that. I just want to cover all the bases here.

[Deadly_Nightshade]

You might want to try rolling back your video card drivers to see if that helps, it cannot really hurt anything, as long as you have the new drivers backed up, and it is worth attempting. People also seem to be having success with the "Omega drivers" - so you might want to look into those.

Huh???
