Display problems with new system

[Dinner4JC]

I tried to install Kotor 2 on my new system. When I did the hardware setup it showed a warning on the video card, though it should be WAY over the minimum requirements. The game plays but it has lines going through it on gameplay (videos look great though)

I had a problem on my new system recently that sounds similar (I can't really tell without a screenie) but everything was ultimatly moving wayyy too fast. The problem turned out to be that my Core 2 duo was operating both cpu's on the game. What you need to do to make this go away is shut off one of the cpu's (you should do it with most games over a certain age.

 

 

In task manager right click on Kotor 2 process, then set affinity and make sure only one cpu is active on it (you have to do this every so often when you boot it up.)

This is nothing like my problem. It runs fin except for the poor graphic quality during gameplay.

I figured it out. I unchecked the box for buffer frame effect and now it looks great.

Is that in the in Game settings? I'm having a similar problem. My Quadrofx1100 apparently isn't compatible with KOTOR but my Radeon 9550 is. Except instead of lines, my game just crashes.

 

I doubt it's the buffer frame thing but it may be; is that in the configure program?
