Kotor Dantooine Graphics Glitch
Mina Delahoussaye
Okay, having some major problems with the glitching on this game, primarily with Dantooine. Once I start walking away from the Ebon Hawk, the movements of my character suddenly start to get jerky, and he'll even freeze up. This irritates me, as I spent almost $300 on a new ATI graphics card so that I could get off Peragus (had the same problem there, as well, before I got the new graphics card). I've even installed a patch that was supposed to fix this problem (as apparently I'm not the only one experiencing it), and it still glitches. I'm not have any problems other than Dantooine. Does anyone know of some way I can get this fixed? Any suggestions would really help...
Yeah, the above should solve the problem-what your experiencing is the Gforce graphics glitch, the power of your card is irrelivent as I think its a problem with the drivers rather than the card itself. Although you might be happy to hear that Dantoonine is the only place where it happens. Without doing the above, you just have to take your fingers off the controls when things start lagging then sit there for a minute or so and the game will eventally get back to normal. When or if your charactor gets stuck switch to someone else in the group and just run off with them. The main char will unlock to follow them as long as your not in solo mode. Note that this glitch will happen everytime you enter the Koonda area regardless of where you come in from. Also worth noting that this glitch is even worse in K1, in fact Dantooine is almost unplayable due to lagg there.
Loading Issues: Just a note about those of you who may be experiencing a frozen black screen when loading up KOTOR 2. The main reason for this is typically an incompatible setting which causes problems with KOTOR 2's movie files. To make sure you don't experience these issues, firstly disable any refresh rate overrides/fixes you may have applied (such as Refresh Force). Secondly, make sure you only use the modified movie files at the end of this guide if you want to skip the introductory movies - rather than just creating blank .txt files and renaming them. Make sure you are running the latest graphics drivers for your card - see the ATI Catalyst or Nvidia Forceware Tweak Guides listed on page 2 of this guide. Finally, make sure your graphics card meets the minimum specifications for the game - most integrated graphics and laptop chipsets will experience problems with this game including black screens, crashes and graphical glitches.
