Still have the same problem they gone wont play past the first level withought crashing.. It aint at specific point ethier :/. Tune down some graphic options.. And it gave me an extra ten minutes.. I have the test results for the game.
In the config menu I forced software sound.. added extra time

Like i said.. I'm sorry for posting but it is one of my favoirtie games and I would like to be able to play it.. Any help you could give would be appreaciated

 

[Mr. Grey]

What's the problem?

I don't think I read it anywhere in there. Is it invisible? If so... how'd you make it invisible?

EDIT: Okay! So it's crashing, does it happen during the movies or is it just completely random? Or is this on the Endar Spire?

 

[Woodsey]

I don't understand the problem really - I take it you've patched the game?

Click update when the desktop menu pops up.

KOTOR Crashes after 1st level. Its in the first paragraph.

It wasn't when I made my post.

No it's on the first level.. At any point.. I was at the corridor fire fight.. Crashed.. came back and it didnt.. Then it crashed at like a metre away from that point.

 

[MGG=REVIEWS]

And I'm not running window's XP, I'm running windows 7.. I just configured it to think it's running windows xp

Alrighty then... Okay. Now what do I say? I KNOW! OP: You might want to check the game version and get it patched (if it isn't already) or google that shit!

 

[MGG=REVIEWS]

I've patched the game. It's at V1.3 right now :/

 

[Mr. Grey]

Are your drivers fully updated? That seemed to have solved the problem for some people with Nvidia cards.

They were also Vista users, but I don't know if that was the problem itself. You're using Windows 7 and already configured it appropriately.

 

[MGG=REVIEWS]

Yes, When i toke the test it directed me to the nvidea wesbite and i downloaded the latest driver..

I found a post that I remember now...

Anyway, I think I solved the issue by another way:I went to the KotOR ini file and added this line into the [Graphic Options] section: Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1.
This option is supossed to make the graphic card render faster and giving a better frame rates, but it's known to have some incompatiblities or bugs with the modern graphic cards. So it's better to disable it.
I did that yesterday and I had no more problems.... I will post a status report once I advance further in the game, as I'm still on Taris, played during 2 or 3 hours the Lower City and the Under City, and so far quite well.
If this fails, I'll follow your suggestions.
-------------------------------------------------
[Edit]

Ok, I tested it and it works perfect!!! Problem solved, I'm on Dantooine right now (in the game), and no crash has appeared!!!

If you don't know how - I bet you do, but I want to play it safe - I found another post explaining it, here's the list:

* First, figure out where the .ini is installed. Default is "C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\swkotor(2)\swkotor(2).ini". If its not in that location, then your going to have to do some searching around on the hard drive a bit.
* When you find it, just double-click on the file to open it in Notepad.
* Scroll down the file until you find the Graphics Options
* Under the last line ("last line" as in the last line of the list of entries under "Graphics Options", NOT the last line of "swkotor(2).ini), add "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1", without the quotes.
* Goto File, then Save.

I found the swkotor notepad.. But it aint call .ini,When i add the new lines of code it say's acces denied?

 

[Mr. Grey]

It's called swkotor and is a configuration settings.

Spoiler: Here's a pic.

There should definitely be a file named swkotor.ini

EDIT: You posted it in your OP.

That too.

 

[Captain Pancake]

If you're running it on vista there is a problem with running the game with that OS. You have to download a file from the original game that works with vista to replace. You should be able to find it by searching for KotOR Vista fix.

 

[MGG=REVIEWS]

Ok. it says i dont have the administor rights to save in that area???..

 

[MGG=REVIEWS]

I am playing the orignal game.. Not the second I have the same problem with the second.. But if i solve it here i can solve it on the second

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Umm, wish I could help but I don't have the game installed anymore.
I think someone advised you to patch it but you probably did.

Yes, That is what i clicked, I add the code but it say's Access denied

Windows Vista? Give yourself admin rights, or do it as administrator.

Lol, Thats the thing I am adminstator.. And i'm using windows 7 not vista.. Vista is evil
