kotor2 update? patch?


Recommended Posts

I have two options so far. I can download a Kotor2 patch frim lucasarts OR I can update the game from it's own update button. Which do I want? Both even? Any advice please? (Do I have a third option?)

 

edit: I am running a win 7 64 bit PC if that matters.

Does that 'update' button actually do anything anymore?!? :(

Next question is... do you need the patch? I get the impression that it breaks more than it fixes unless you have one of the few specific problems listed in the readme.

 

Little or no content/game bugs were fixed if I remember correctly. The higher resolution movie update (released unofficially and sponsored by third party file hosting) was the only semi-official worthwhile download. Modders did a better job of supporting it than LA.

Well, it's good for intel chipset users.

 

And fixes the floating Swoop Race issue.

 

But yeah, TSLRCM does a whole lot more fixing (including the big gamebreaking issue 1.0b added).

(i know this place is not for the original kotor but please let me ask anyway: )

 

In kotor 2 i know there was a broken quest or two that i am hoping would be fixed.

 

And for both 1 & 2 is there a new graphics option? I think I saw that kotor 1 had a new res available. Can I get a decent widescreen option for both?

Nope. Not with the official patch atleast. TSLRCM however does fix many questbugs and more.

And once again, nope. No official widescreen.

I only just figured out what TSL stands for. Whats TSLRCM?

 

All i want right now is a simple-to-use patch or update that I can use and then get on to the groovy game. As it stands I find that everything goes black after entering game. If I alt+tab and then reopen the windows things re-appear but this is not the best solution. It coud be a sign of a deeper problem for later.

 

About widescreen... Is there something I can do to bring in the sides of the screen so that I have the right scales or display but with blacked-out areas at the sides? (I bet there is a cool name for doing that but I dont know it :lol:

The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification.

It's a mod that restores some content cut in production. I haven't played it myself, but I should get around to it someday.

Nope, that's pretty much KOTOR 2 on a Windows 7 PC. I got the same.

It happens every time you start the game, and after each movie.

 

As such disabling movies can help yes, but I rather see it and do a quick ctrl+alt and back than miss them.

Suspect securom, since the "black screen freeze" issue used to be paired with no-disc patches. Of course since it's you guys, I'm gonna assume win7 just broke compatibility ;)

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Yeah, good point.

Iirc it didn't like being alt-tabbed away from, like some other games, and Windows 7 actually improved it in a way. Still, to screen-switching is annoying, more so then the game freezing when alt-tabbing away from it. But I suppose you are trying to say Windows 7 broke Securom? Can you play it without physical disk now?
