January 7, 200917 yr Ok for the holidays I got this game and so far I have run into some problems. First it wouldn't run on windows vista but after tweeking it a bit and installing some patches I managed to get it running smoothly. It was all great until I couldn't load any of my saves. The loading bar gets about a fourth of the way there, when the screen suddenly flashes and then it doesn't move anymore. I let it run for about fifteen minutes just to make sure it isn't loading slow or something but it didn't move an inch. I have tried to adjust the compadibility and set it as administrator but nothing seems to remedy this. Anyone have any advice or have had the same problem? I would be really thankful for some help. I can start a new game just fine, it just when I try to load a game it freezes.
January 7, 200917 yr What are your system specs? "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
January 7, 200917 yr Author What are your system specs? CPU: AMD turion 64 X2 mobile TL-58 Speed: 3.84 GHz Ram: 1 GB Operating system: Windows vista home premium edition 32-bit Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Like I said, it runs smoothly with everything on high but it just won't load. It wouldn't load before so I tried downloading the updates but that didn't help at all. Edited January 7, 200917 yr by klein

February 4, 200916 yr Have you looked at the guide to making K2 work on Vista that is on here? http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...mp;#entry760302 I'd get rid of all the patches and try a fresh install as detailed from the link. (Btw, if you downloaded anything claiming to be a K2 Vista patch you should get rid of it - as far as I'm aware there is no such thing)

Gah!
February 4, 200916 yr My experience with this problem was that the game wasn't running as an administrator and so it wasn't actually saving any of your games. So even though the name is there, the actual save game isn't and when it tries to load it it freezes part way through because there's no data. When you try to run it, right click and choose "Run as Administrator" every time you play. I *think* that will fix this. Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.
February 15, 200916 yr Author Welp, now it says a driver crashes whenever I try to even run the game. Man, so many problems with this game and Vista.
