aznshotbob Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) So I've just installed KOTOR 2 on my PC bout a day ago. When i was starting the game it scanned my computer and whatnot. When it came back, it was all green except for the graphics card which turned up yellow. I set everything to min. and figured i could still run the game since my graphics card meet the minimum specs. It started and i created my character without any problems, but after the intro screen (A long time ago....) it downright crashes. I've tried disabling sound and movies but it still crashes. And no my computer is not a vista. Thanks in advance. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 7/23/2008, 12:00:31 Machine name: JESSICA Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

qt3.14159 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 If you've already tried updating your video card drivers, you might play with the resolutions or try running it in window mode. I think that K2 doesn't particularly like that built in video card, though. Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznshotbob Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yeah. I think i'm not really sure how to "update" my driver well intel drivers anyways. And i don't think KOTOR has a windowed mode, and im already running all options min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qt3.14159 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It doesn't? Dang, don't I feel stupid now... I guess that was Mass Effect I was thinking of. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Oh, and try updating your intel drivers through Windows Update... or from your PC manufacturers website Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.

Bass-GameMaster Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well some of the Intel chips can do this to Kotor2. Try checking out the Intel site for potential updates. And if that fails use the configuration to disable movies. (its in the kotor setting or configurator I forget ) ""Savior, conqueror, hero, villain.

aznshotbob Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 ah, i've already disabled both SOUND and MOVIES and it still crashes. Also, I've tried installing drivers but when i try to install them it says "the driver is not validated for this computer" and shuts off immediately. Should have expected Intel to pull something like this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 There was a fix for Intel cards posted somewhere on the forum, I think this is it. Also, have you tried disabling one of the cores on your core 2 while playing Kotor II? If not, try that as the game does not like multi-core systems. "Geez.

aznshotbob Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 sadly, i did try what the fixes the person recommended and they did not work =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ok, I just noticed that you are running XP and not Vista - try looking for an XP version of the updates. "Geez.

aznshotbob Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 XP version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yeah, I believe the fixes in that thread were for Vista. "Geez.

aznshotbob Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 =( Should i just give up, i highly doubt they're going to make a fix since this game has been out for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
