Kotor.. a game doesn't get much cooler than this.

Yea for some gay reason it freezes everytime I go to leave the jedi enclave after I get sent on the mission to deal with whatever dark force is causing the kath hounds to become as aggressive as they are.

The furthest I've gotten without a freeze is when the woman was telling me about her droid that was probably kidnapped. The one her husband made for her.

I know it has some critical bugs out of the box, but I'm sure you've tried patching it... right? :P

It's been years since I had a similar problem, but maybe try updating your soundcard drivers as well. I'm pretty sure I had a problem with that which was crashing the game, but im really just guessing at what my solution was.

Title of topic says it all and I've only just got off the damn ender spire at the beginning. I'm just barely into the game no lightsaber, no force powers etc, but damn this game is cool.

Like while fighting off 2 sith enemies on the spire I was doing some pretty cool moves with my longsword then out of nowhere kicked the next closest enemy in the face (totally didn't expect that) Then when I hacked into that computer to thin out some of the enemy ranks in the other room man :D I really hope Mass Effect has cool stuff like this.

Seeing just the basic sword combat thus far in this game makes me really want a kotor 3 and makes me miss no melee in mass effect a bit more, but of course there are many other cool aspects to look forward to :) Its a sin that I took this long to get this game.
Oh goodness if you already love the game this much then you are going orgasm later on.

I would stick to pc regardless if the game freezes, there would hardly be a difference anyway as the frame rate on the BC KOTOR is fuuuuucked.

Yea I got it patched to version 1.03 :(

From the searching around I've been doing it has something to do with ATI's opengl performance in Windows Vista. I tried some things that prevented the freeze, but now it runs at like 2fps. My GPU is a radeon 1900xtx, cpu athlon x2 4200+ (I tried disabling one of the cores in kotor, but still no success), 1GB of ocz memory. I guess I gotta wait till ATI fixes their driver issues with the first Kotor or atleast release a higher performing opengl driver.


Can't tell when was the last time I loved a game this much. I think I'm going to create a partition on my second hard drive and install Windows XP and use it to play Kotor with.

You can get the Xbox version for $15.00 no problem. The bc emulation works fine, just a bit of slowdown here and there, but it has never froze on me before.

Yea that is something I may try as well, but something tells me I'll be fine now. I copy and pasted my entire kotor pc folder onto my second hdd (to still have my progress thus far) and I used the extremely awesome partition tool in windows vista to set aside a 30GB partition in which i'll use to install windows xp hence allowing me to play kotor with no problems whatsoever.

So I'll use vista for everything else, but when its time for kotor XP it is :D

Very impressed with the built in formatting tool in Vista its awesome.

lol, I forgot you were on Vista.

My cousin got Vista and I have to ask this, is there a way to stop the freaking annoying question of "do you allow this?".....wow, that's annoying! Incredibly stupid.

Aside from that, I hate how it takes double the time to get to the place I want to get. It took me quite a bit of time to get to TCP/IP settings, and while that's somewhat normal as it is a new OS, once you know it still takes double the clicking to get to those kind of settings. Way too many menus and questions.

And how is disk management in Vista different from that of XP? Not saying it isn't, but seeing as how the best of XP is still the same I don't know what changes they could have made to disk management. It's getting to the things that is so different now, and a pain.

Although, I do agree, the only reason for this is because Bioware has made some of the best games ever. Jade Empire is still an excellent game, but it lacks depth to the same degree as other Bioware titles. I mean, 25-30 hours for a Bioware game?

Ive played 3 bioware games(Kotor[lol starwars], Jade Empire, and NWN) and I have to say that Jade Empire was my favorite.

Yea you can set it to stop asking you all those questions. Just set it up so that it trusts all software coming from that company or something to that degree. I don't remember the exact process, but I know I've done it with a number of programs.

Disk Management I can't say for sure how its all different as there are many aspects of the disk management I've yet to really mess with. I'm going to uninstall XP off my second Hard drive and put it on the same HDD I have vista on, but I quickly tested kotor and it runs like a champ on XP :)

Jade Empire is Bioware best game, but i suppose its down to personal preference, Jade empire was superior in every way, apart from maybe the story imo

Man I went through hell trying to find my savegame files in Vista for Kotor. They wouldn't show up in a search I checked my saves folder in my kotor installation folder and the folder was totally empty. Went to folder options and clicked the option that says show hidden files and folders.. still nothing.

I had to navigate via a command prompt to find the files and even then it claimed they didn't exist. I copy and pasted the files to my desktop via command prompt and thats how I got them. Nonetheless going to re-install XP (this time on a partition from my main hard drive) and have myself a blast.
