Darkon Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Ok, so while i had just reinstalled SWKotR II, i downloaded some mods, and some other things for it. I double clicked the launcher, watched the little intor stuff and when it tried to come to the main menu all i can see is my Mouse and just a black screen... Computer Specs OS: Windows XP Home 64bit (I believe) Number of CPU(s): One Physical Processor / One Core / One Logical Processor / 64 bits CPU Full Name: Intel(R) Celeron(R) D CPU 3.20GHz CPU Name Intel: Celeron 352 RAM: 2Gigs Video Card/Driver: ATI Radeon 200 Xpress* * I know it's low, but I've played this game before. About as smooth as can be.
Nihilus5078 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 It's probably the mods, and KotOR II doesn't work too good with Intel, try downloading a Radeon processor.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 It's probably the mods... I doubt it. ...and KotOR II doesn't work too good with Intel, try downloading a Radeon processor. Intel GPUs. Intel CPUs are fine - also, it's AMD and not Radeon. "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
Darkon Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 Hmm, the only mods I got are the armband ones... Also, when it doesn't lock up I can create a charcter and start to play, it's just a bit laggish..
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 It's most likely your GPU - have you tried different drivers? "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
Darkon Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 I'm not to sure about getting other drivers... Could you explain it to me?
Nihilus5078 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Getting an older driver would work since KotOR II was released for PC in 2005 which is 4 years ago so it might be that the driver is so new that it refuses to work with the game.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Getting an older driver would work... No, it MIGHT work. Never tell someone something WILL work unless you are sure that is the issue.

Darkon Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 what about the processor? Where would I find that?
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 what about the processor? Where would I find that? The CPU should be fine, ignore that bit of "advice" - it was pure bull**** and chips.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 You know... IF you really have a x64 and not a x86-bit system that might be the issue... "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
Darkon Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 But i ran this game before and ( I had to reinstall XP) it ran super smooth. Would the ATI Catalyst thing help at all?
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Maybe... Have you tried different drivers yet? It might be that you had a version that worked before but do not have it now. "Geez.

Darkon Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 well, i just downloaded the Raid and South Bridge Driver things...I still cant access the main menu...I also downloaded the catalyst thing, i cant even seem to get that to run.
Darkon Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 -no edit button- EDIT: Actually, I think it's the smoke particles that are screwing it up. Because when i actually do get past it, when ever there's smoke or something similar, it screws everything up.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Ok, there should be an .ini tweak to remove the smoke - I cannot remember it though. "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
Darkon Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 Ok, there should be an .ini tweak to remove the smoke - I cannot remember it though. i'll try playing around with some stuff.
