Tardis1701F Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Hi I have installed KOTOR 2 on my windows 7 machine. When i click on the KOTOR2.exe nothing happens, when i disable the sound the game works flawlessly. My sound drivers are up to date and i have no other problems with other games. The sound drivers are realtek HD audio. The KOTOR 2 config found the sound drivers to pass with a green light. I have searched the web before writing this and have already tried the mss32.dll fix and have contacted securom and they said it wasn't thier problem. I have even tried to take mss32.dll iles out of other games and put them in the directory but no effect. I have also tried installing KOTOR 2 in other areas of my computer such as program files and my documents. I have tried the unofficial 1.0c patch aswell. Any help would be much welcome.

Gorth Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's been a long time since playing Kotor2... I seem to remember some other older games having success with a few tips and tricks. Some of them involved changing core affinity (to simulate running on mono core cpus), disabling audio hardware accelleration, running the game in Windows 2000 compatibility mode (for some reason, some games like that better than Windows XP compatibility) etc. Of couse, I'm a pack rat, so I actually have an old P4 computer tucked away somewhere for playing old stuff on Edit: I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to play Kotor2 on VirtualPC? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Thanks for the response I have just tried to change cpu affinity to one core but it has had no effect. I don't think that Windows 7 has the ability to disable audio hardware acelleration due to the way vista was made. I tried running the game in Windows 2000 compatability aswell as all the other ones but still no effect. If you know of someway to disable the audio hardware acelleration in windows 7 please tell me. The VirtualPC idea i will try as a last resort as the only problem i have is with the sound not the computer in general. What i have noticed is that even with sound off it will not run unless i turn OFF the option to run as admin. I have found that the game runs fine with the speakers pulled out of the audio jack. But when the game has started and i plug them back in i still hear no sound. Edited June 1, 2011 by Tardis1701F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tardis1701F Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have managed to play about with mss32.dll files and "miles" folders and i now have the error message "The procedure entry point_RIB_provider_library_handle@0 could not be located in the dynamic link library mss32.dll" I hope this is a step in the right direction. I have tried to download a new mss32.dll file but no it has not worked. Welcome any help please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried to download a new mss32.dll file but no it has not worked. Welcome any help please. Do you have Kotor1? I seem to remember a lot of players successfully copying the mss32.dll (Miles Sound System or whatever it is called) from the Kotor1 install folder and use in the Kotor2 installation folder. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I have tried to copy the mss32.dll from kotor 1 into kotor 2 but it displays the same error message. What i did to get the error message was use the miles folder from Neverwinter Night 2 and put it in kotor 2 as people have suggested that as a fix. Hope that helps you to understand what i have done. Thanks for the suggestion though, I thought it might work but sadly. Edited June 4, 2011 by Tardis1701F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dergyll Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 can we have the specs for your computer? From the looks of it, its probably a sound hardware conflict issue...I had this happen to me with Borderlands, where my Beats Audio was interferring with my windows-installed driver. Anyway, lets have the specs please Derg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, lets have the specs please Derg I think most of it is in his very first post in this thread The only program I've ever bought that crashed right away because of sound issues was Cyberlink PowerDVD. I paid a fortune for it and was getting increasingly pissed off that it refused to run until I found a hint in a forum that it didn't like having two audio devices on the same computer. Disabling the onboard Realtek soundchip in the bios fixed the problem (since I only ever used my Creative card anyway). Tardis1701F, do you by any chance have other sound cards than the detected Realtek one? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
