Hi everyone,
I figured this would be a good forum to ask this on since it gets plenty of traffic. My game keeps freezing on a black screen as I try to enter the Czerka office on Tatooine, just after agreeing to get the vaporizers for the Sand People. I've tried changing my graphics settings and disabling shadows/grass, but nothing has worked. I've tried loading from different saves and trying and it freezes every time. I have the 1.03 patch and am running the game in a VMWare Image of Windows XP on my Windows 7 laptop. I installed the game from CDs and haven't modified anything in the .dll files or anything. Normally I would just do it the dark side way but every time I kill all the sand people, as soon as I leave the sand people enclave I die instantly for some reason. Does anyone know of any potential fixes so I can progress in the game? Thanks
Welcome to the forums! :waive1:
Now, I'm no expert. But maybe it has something to do with the VMWare Image of Windows XP? Because I run KOTOR on my regular Windows 7 computer, and it works fine.
Well, I installed and ran the game on Windows 7 and it was terrible. Crashed every 2 seconds. It works considerably better on the Windows XP image (only crashes every hour or so, lol). The only instance like this that it kept crashing was when I was arriving at Dantooine, and that was because I needed to disable the grass. Any more thoughts?
What specs are the computer. If your PC can run Windows 7 it should run Kotor no probs.
Dell XPS L501X
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU - 1.73 GHz
6.00 GB RAM (though only 512 MB are being utilized by VMWare)
Video Card: NVidia Geforce GT 435M
Remember I am running the game in a Windows XP VMWare image. I don't think it has anything to do with my computer not being good enough, more likely just a setting or something somewhere that needs to be modified. I just tried the common fix of adding the "disable vertex buffer objects" thiug to the .ini file, and no luck.
I'm not real familiar with how VMWare works, but I just ran a Scan Hardware from the game's Configure options, and it said that my video was VMWare SVGA II 256MB, in case this matters.
