I installed KOTOR 1 on my Toshiba Sattelite laptop yesterday. It's a relatively new laptop: I bought it in November 07. It's run smoothly, until I reached Dantooine. As soon as I step foot out of the ship, The sky began acting really weird. It broke into thousands of strands, and filled the top half of the screen. While running outside the enclave, it grew worse, and filled most of the creen, cut off my character's head, and Vista popped up and told me an unknown problem had occured, and it closed the program. This has happened several times. Any suggestions?

my KotOR runs fun i have no problems with that but TSL i cant even play this is the error i get

Oh how i got my KotOR to work was to just run it in XP SP2 compatibility mode

iv had that problem, let me guess, your trying to enter in enablecheats=1? you have to save the ini. file to your documents, then "cut" the file and paste it in in kotor2 file. when it asks you if you want to replace swkotor2.ini, say yes. there you go


Hello all!

I'm running Windows Vista home premium and trying to run Kotor 1

I can play the game perfectly fine but when I try to edit my swkotor.ini file in my game folder it says
Cannot creat the C:\Program Flies\LucasArts\SWKotOR\swkotor.ini file.
Make sure that the path and file name are correct.

When I go ever to my old computer running XP Home it dose everything fine.

I have tried everything I can think of(even doing what it tells me ;) ) and I can't get it to work!
Please help me out here

sorry if something like this has been posted before. But I need help

:confused: iv had that same problem on the vista, and i dont know what to do, and it says i need to update the video


Hi I am new and yes i have vista.

I've installed the Kotor II and i have the some problem as most, I start it and a message says that it stopped working and windows is trying too look for a solution (not much can they do uh?) but sometimes or should i say *rarely* it starts normally i can create my character and all, but when its time to play, it crashes.

also in the hardware scan, says i need to update the video driver, which is stupid since the pc is new and everything is up to date, i also made a scan with driver detective to make sure and see if some things are not updated, well its not the issue, since it says clearly that it IS updated.

I have a:

HP pavilion dv6604nr Entertainment notebook PC
NVIDIA Geforce Go 7150m graphics


EDIT: I think i have somehow fixed it, by reading some guy's post in gamespot, he said that he disable sound and he had managed to make the game work, so he downloaded the K1 sound version and it played.

http://files.filefront.com/Mss32dll/;6695046;/fileinfo.html)

But after his game crashed because of the movies, so he disable it them, since then he has managed to play, and me too!! i hope there will be a fix for the movies though...

viva star wars!

The brown lines on the dantooine sky can be solved by downloading the vista fix mentioned earlier in the thread, then disabling 'grass' option in the video menu. Maybe disabling grass would work without the fix, but I havent tried that. Hope this helps.

I'm facing a few issues myself, all reflective surfaces (sith armor, male twilek's lower part of the headtails, blaster rifles) appear as white. I have no idea why this is occuring..I'm running a dual core 1.66GHz, 1 gig RAM,vista 32 bit, intel 945 card (I know,I know, it isnt supported, and it isnt really meant for gaming,but it runs kotor real well except for this issue, and nwn2 and empire at war very smoothly at high settings)

Well Hello,
I had exactly the same problem...

Start game....
Stop responding....
Pull my hair out...

Ati Solution...
But it seems I have found a solution, Every time I do a scan hardware , It gives some funny results like windows xp service pack 5 or ...(I'm running vista).

Anyway, It came up with video drivers out of date, so it suggested to go to the Ati site in which i did, I downloaded this ''Hydra vision'' which was uploaded in. march 08, and it plays out of 3 times starting game .....3 times I could play..

There's not much anyone can do if your video card isn't supported. Not all games play nice with Intel cards. Check in the Intel card thread, however, to see if those solutions help.

May I join your club of vista owners/haters?

Start the game.
Stop responding.
Lots of angry words directed towards Bill Gates.


I am having that "Kotor 2 isn't responding" -problem mostly during game start-up. It although starts working after couple of tries.
But that "stop responding" -s**t happens also: when I am trying use workbench to create items or rarely using inventory or menu.
Plus all of that s**t I am already having, my game started lagging after I downloaded newest drivers for my graphics card. On idle my processor consumption is 12% and during the game it jumps to the 80%!

I saved the Error report and will post the the errors after this, not the most computer savvy person in the world but if any of yall can make heads or tails of this it'd be much appreciated :)

Dont think its any of the hardware(at least I wouldnt think so). Play Company of Heroes, Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft without any difficulty whatsoever. So yeah if any of yall have a suggestion or two for me I'd love to play these games again.

heres what you do: go into the program files/lucasarts then click on the swkotor.ini and drag it to youre desktop, then go to (just type this in in the bar on the top) user\whatever the name\AppData\Local\Virtualstore then click on prgram files, then lucas arts, then swkotor then the swkotor.ini file. then add the enablecheats=1 line and save. then go to the swkotor file on youre desktop and do the same then drag it back into the program file that you took it out of. check both of the swkotor.ini files to make sure they are the same. if you really want to check if they work first go into the file and change "disable sound=0" to "disable sound=1" ***ON BOTH SWKOTOR FILES*** if you do not make any changes to both files nothing will happen. but be carefull read my first thing about the whole color streeks because that might happen to you.
When I move the swkotor.ini file there isnt one left in my SWKotOR folder. Is that supposed to happen?

Yeah thats fine, as you will put the file back after you have edited it. I hope this finally solves your problem :)

Ok, I edited the file and put it back into my SWKotOR folder, but when I try and bring up the menu during the game, it doesn't work. So just to make sure I did everything right, I am supposed to type in EnableCheats=1 in the .ini file right? And then press the ~ button during the game?

Yeah, though you have to enable the console to appear too;

How to enable cheats

U.S. Version:

Find the file called "swkotor.ini" in your Knights of the Old Republic game folder. The default location is:
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR2\swkotor2.ini

Open the file with Notepad and under the line [Game Options] add the following line:
EnableCheats=1

International Versions

Find the file called "swkotor.ini" in your Knights of the Old Republic game folder. The default location is:
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR2\swkotor2.ini

Open the file with Notepad and under the line [Game Options] add the following lines:
EnableCheats=1
Enable Console=1

Opening the cheat console:

While playing, press [~] or [`]to bring down the console if the language setting of your keyboard is English (United States). The key combination to open the console varies according to the language seeting of your keyboard. Per example, for French (France) language settings, you have to press Alt Gr + 7 . Normally it corresponds to the keys you need to press to type a tilde ~.

Note tha tcontrary to Kotor 1 where the console shows up with a tiny [>] in the upper left corner of the screen, the cheat console in Kotor 2 TSL is invisible.

if you keep having problems, I'll send you a PM to help :)

Well I have the U.S. version, so do I still have to enable the console?

Well I have the U.S. version, so do I still have to enable the console?

Nope, I don't think so, it should just work, the console appears in the top left screen.

Ok, I am thinking I must have done something wrong here. I just moved the .ini file onto the desktop, edited it, then moved it back into the KOTOR folder. Is there a reason that wouldnt work?

Ok, I am thinking I must have done something wrong here. I just moved the .ini file onto the desktop, edited it, then moved it back into the KOTOR folder. Is there a reason that wouldnt work?

From the example you quoted earlier I think there are TWO files you have to edit, and this would also explain why you couldn't edit the one in the KotOR directory...


heres what you do: go into the program files/lucasarts then click on the swkotor.ini and drag it to youre desktop, then go to (just type this in in the bar on the top) user\whatever the name\AppData\Local\Virtualstore then click on prgram files, then lucas arts, then swkotor then the swkotor.ini file. then add the enablecheats=1 line and save. then go to the swkotor file on youre desktop and do the same then drag it back into the program file that you took it out of. check both of the swkotor.ini files to make sure they are the same. if you really want to check if they work first go into the file and change "disable sound=0" to "disable sound=1" ***ON BOTH SWKOTOR FILES*** if you do not make any changes to both files nothing will happen. but be carefull read my first thing about the whole color streeks because that might happen to you.

Ok, that must be where I messed up. Going to give that a try then.

user\whatever the name\AppData\Local\Virtualstore

Ok, what "bar at the top" do I type this in?

Ok, sorry, I found it.

Ok its finally working! Sorry for all the posting about it haha, but a big THANK YOU to everybody, especially you jonathan7, for taking an interest in getting it to work for me!

Ok, that must be where I messed up. Going to give that a try then.

user\whatever the name\AppData\Local\Virtualstore

Ok, what "bar at the top" do I type this in?

The address bar, its much like the one found in internet explorer or firefox at the top of this page.

Also note, that the address you will need to type in, will be your windows log in, for example, mine would be;

user\jonathan7\AppSata\Local\Virtualstore

yours would be;

user\Revan.Ragnos.85\AppSata\Local\Virtualstore

Hope its sorted soon :)

EDIT:

No worries, for the help, I'm glad you have got it working :)

Okay, now that I have beat KOTOR several times once again, I decided to get started with TSL. I do get the old "KOTOR-TSL is not responding" message a lot, but eventually it works fine. But now when I am on the Harbinger and I get to the first group of Sith Assassins the game just freezes every single time. Anybody have any idea what the deal is?

hello,

I just installed kotor tsl in my new laptop that runs vista with the service pack 1.
I can't load the game at all. When i do the scan hardware available in the configuration of the game, it tells me that my video card needs the newer driver update. (Donator 45.23)

I went to the system panel and used the vista feature to update my video card. It found a new driver but the game still don't run :(

any suggestions would help me a lot.
thanks :D

p.s. I have a GeForce 8600M GT from Nvidia

I had a similar issue, here's what I did:

1. Uninstall the game.

2. Insert Disc 1 and run the installer in XP compatibility mode and with Administrator privileges.

3. Follow the install procedure.

4. Update the game to the latest patch.

5. Download the mss32.dll file here (http://files.filefront.com/Mss32dll/.../fileinfo.html) and replace the one in your TSL directory with it.

6. Run the game in XP compatibility mode and Administrator privileges.

=====

It may also help to turn video and sound options down to a low/medium setting.

:)

Right, old problem fixed (Thanks Marius) New problems ahoy!
In KOTOR the game crashes after I confirm Canderous as a party member for the first time. Is there any fix for this?
Help would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm not sure if this will help anyone, but I ran through all the hoops of installing, reinstalling, and disabling, downloading and inserting the old Mss32.dll, downloading the file from the site that blowmyface put the link to because I never got the disc error problem so Securom wouldn't give it to me.

I also messed with my settings; running in XP SP2 computability mode and not, enabling and disabling Vsync, Hardware mouse, Sound, Movies, and tried the lowest resolution, 1024 x 768 @ 60hz and 75hz, and 1600 x 1200 @ 75hz. All of these would work occasionally, but rarely.
I also updated all my drivers (re-updated since I already had current) and installed sp1. Then I installed the game as XP SP2 and downloaded Alchemy. Even after all this and several restarts, the stupid game still refused to work, so in frustration (after 3 days of no results) I decided to use my system and enabled everything so I'd be running at the highest settings the game can run from the configuration menu.

Low and behold it worked. Now it starts up for me every time in some window mode I never saw an option for. I just get it to the load screen, maximize the window and I get to enjoy the game at full settings in full screen. I hope this helps anyone else who gets to the point of giving up that I was at. Yes, I put all my games into Alchemy both before and after enabling all options to max settings.

My system specs are:
Windows Vista Ultimate x86
Intel Q9300 Core 2 Yorkfield LGA 775 2.5GB Quad CPU
4GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) RAM
BFG nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB GPU
Intel P35 Chipset
Audigy2 ZS Gamer sound card
DirectX 10

I'll be reinstalling with Vista Ultimate x64 this weekend so I can use all my RAM, I'll let everyone know how that works.

Edit: Upon reinstalling with x64 with SP1I installed KOTOR II in XP SP2 compatibility mode, updated all my drivers, updated the game, moved in the old Mss32 file, and put it into Alchemy. The game works perfectly every time. I have my configuration options set to the highest resolution and graphics, while enabling Vsync and Hardware Mouse.

Well with my laptop that runs Vista Home Premium and doesn't have a creative card nor did I install in compatibility mode and I've also managed to get it to work and it does that same random window thing. I'm going to go on a limb and say that you require upgrading to SP1, run in compatibility mode, and insert the old Mss32.dll (version 3.0.0)file. As long as you didn't have any problem running the disc it should be fine, otherwise you'll need to contact Securom.

If your computer can handle it, don't forget to leave every box in configuration unchecked, that may or may not have anything to do with it, but it works for me with 2 different Vista builds and 2 different versions.

Just a little update on my problem, turns out right after you get Canderous in your party there's a cutscene, and for some reason any time the game has a cutscene it minimizes, sending me back to the desktop, and I have to wait a few minutes before maximising it again or it'll crash.

I had a similar issue, here's what I did:

1. Uninstall the game.

2. Insert Disc 1 and run the installer in XP compatibility mode and with Administrator privileges.

3. Follow the install procedure.

4. Update the game to the latest patch.

5. Download the mss32.dll file here (http://files.filefront.com/Mss32dll/.../fileinfo.html) and replace the one in your TSL directory with it.

6. Run the game in XP compatibility mode and Administrator privileges.

It may also help to turn video and sound options down to a low/medium setting.

thanks. All i needed was the new dll. thanks again :)

I have discovered a new development on Creative Labs' end.. If you are running on 64-bit and 4GB or more of RAM, their drivers (at least for Audigy2 ZS) don't fully support it and their beta is fairly unstable.

Problem:
At random points throughout the game (Combat, cut-scenes, movies, loading screens, etc..) the game stops responding and (after ending task) delivers a beautiful BlueScreenOfDeath with BCCode 76 which turned out to be related to Creative drivers.

Work around:
If you don't wish to remove your memory or change your OS, you can download the unstable beta version of the driver and end the task from the processes tab and not the applications tab. This will only cause you to shutdown the game and very rarely get a BSOD.

Advice:
Save often. I think I'll be playing off my laptop most of the time until Creative releases a final driver to support more than 4GB of memory with their sound cards (how it can't anyways is beyond me).

Ive had so many problems with TSL on vista..

1. Sound: Easy Sorta just replace the file given in the first post...Thx for that :)
2. New Game: When I started a game my game stops responding...Patched the game
3, Loads: My loading stopped working...Had to reinstall game...had to do 1&2 again
4. Cheats: My cheats dont work no solution so far its described in my help thread

EDIT: Due to this I made a new sig :)

If you have problem with running K1 or TSL on Vista, you could try this.
Open your control panel - programs - programs and fetures.
Here you have this option:
Use an older program with this version of windows.
And then just follow the Program Compatibility Wizard.

You can do this for installing from CD or local.

Enjoy your game :clap2:

Okay, after much trial and tribulation I have both KotOR and TSL running on my fancy new Vista laptop, and I can even run most of my mods on it. Yee-ha...

Except for one very small, very weird bit. I have a wide-screen laptop, and neither game works that well in full-screen mode. Easy then, we go ahead and switch the ini file to enable windowed mode.

And this is when I find that my swkotor.ini file is locked. I'm on a Vista Admin user, I've made sure it's not Read-Only, but every time I try to change anything on the INI and save it, I get a rather nasty "Access Denied" error-message.

Anyone ever see this before?

Okay, nevermind. I got it. Man, it looks great, but Vista is a grade-1 pain in the but.

*sigh* OK, here we go.
At the end of TSL, in the Trayus Academy, I keep finding these invisble enemies. And I don't mean stealthed, I mean they're just not visible at all. Thing is, I can't attack them because the game thinks of them as friendles. Instead of them being highlighted red they are highlighted green. If I DO try and attack them, the game crashes.
This makes the last part of the game kind of hard, as I either have to be very careful about who I attack, or just run through the entire area without attacking anyone.
Please halp?

Okay, I've been having the same problems most others are having: Vista, NVIDIA, and TSL not playing nice with each other. I've kinda figured (I have practically no computer sense at all) that I should do the above. The only problem I have is that I've got no clue how to run the installer in XP compatability mode or Admin priviledges. I also don't think I'd know how to run the game in XP compatability mode, but I do think I can do that part with Admin. Any help?

Also, if it helps: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT and Vista 32-Bit.

EDIT: Actually, the only thing I need to know now is where to put the mss32.dll file and I'll hopefully be good to go.

Start>Computer>Local Disk>Program Files>Lucas Arts>SWkotOR2

Just past it right in there and over right the one that's in there.

Awesome. Thanks!

for some strange reason when i play kotor on Vista it crashes if i go into a cutscene so im stuck permanently on dantooine and im positive its going to do the same for TSL.
what shall i do?

^ You might want to actually try with TSL anyway, so you know if the problem is isolated or not.

Have installed and run Kotor on new machine w/Vista (unfortunate, I know). Haven't gotten off Taris yet (beyond using D333s warp band) so don't know what problems I may yet encounter. So far, can't get cheat console to work (only need it to "turbo" the game, mods and KSE take care of anything else). I've noticed that the KOTOR cutscene fixer mod doesn't work (on my machine anyway), but got around that probelm using D's warper. Does anyone know which mods don't seem to work on Vista for KOTOR (1)? If so, which ones? Also have Nvidia 7300 GS OC and Pent. DCP E2180 and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950(if that should prove relevant).

Hi

I am unable to get my autosave to load i the onderon cantina or enter the cantina itself as i load in the place outside the canteen.

tried updating to 2.10.427 English, still hangs.

im on a vista premium, quad core

Im having trouble running TSL on my computer. I have windows Vista and I recently got a new computer. However when i start the program it says that something went wrong and the program had to close. When I run a scan of my requirements it says that my memory and video card are out of date but I have more memory than what it says and my video drivers/card are up to date. I would send one of those dxdiag files but I cant seem to find the program to do that on my computer. Anyways it seems to be the problem everyone else is having. I also tried it in compatibility mode with no sucess and also used run as adminstrator. I also had trouble installing the game previously so I dont want to risk uninstalling it.

Have you tried the Windows Vista Fix?
http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/TSL_Windows_Vista_Fix;85439)

I'm sorry to post this but when I try to run my game it tells me that my graphics card driver is out of date and I need to get an updated driver. But I cannot find one for the card I have.

I have a duely laptop. The graphics card I use is ATI Radeon X1270 Color:32 Bpp running on Windows Vista.

I was wondering if anyone had this problem or knows how I can download a new driver. I've even tried on the ATI/Radeon web site but have been unable to locate one.

Yeah I did, it had trouble extracting the files. I beleive I was able to extract them but when I replaced the ones in the KOTOR 2 folder with the new ones the program still wouldnt load the game when I got to the start up menu. I still was told the program needed to close and that my specs still werent up to date. Since I had the trouble extracting the files im wondering if I extracted them all sucessfully or if they were recognized by the game. There was some kind of .ini file and a readme. I also got that new version of the msg32.dll (or whatever its called) file and that didnt work either.

For the Vista fix, there should have only been 1 file in the zip file, which was the .dll file. The one with the ini? I have no idea what that's about.

Are you running any mods, or have you modified the executable file or the .ini at all? Sometimes people may have trouble when they patch the game to make it run in widescreen. I had that problem at one stage.

KoToR 2 on my computer also tells me that my graphics card doesn't meet the minimum requirements. This is the for the poster above you as well. I'm running a HD3870, so it's more than capable of running the game. I don't know much about that at this point, but I'm currently in contact with ATI trying to fix the problem.

It keeps saying I cant extract/open the .dll file when I try to use 7zip to put it in the KOTOR2 folder.

I dont have any mods and the only changes I made to the executable was I tried it in compatibility mode and tried to run it as an administrator. I did patch the game to the 1.0b patch but I dont play it in widescreen.

My game says both the memory and the video card dont meet the requirements.

Hmm... I'm stumped on that one then. Perhaps you should check the permissions of the folders you're trying to extract to?
Also, I suggest that you turn off the User Accounts Control. My Vista experience has definitely improved after I've turned it off.

Well that rules any modding problems out.

This is a problem I'm seeing more of on these boards. I'll take a wild guess and say that some of the new hardware peope are putting in to their computers is too advanced for KoToR 2 to detect.

Im not entirely sure how to do either of these as im relatively new to Vista.

With the User Accout Control, check out this site:
http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm)

Go down to Method 4, which is doing it via the Control Panel.

As for permissions with the folder, I'll have to look in to this when I get home tomorrow afternoon. You have to right click the folder and go in to properties, and go from there.

I disabled the UAC, unsurprisingly KOTOR 2 still wont load, I still get that program must close because of error message. I found the permissions thing in the properties tab but I dont know how to proceed from there.

Edit: I managed to get the game working finally, not sure how long its gonna last. When I disabled the UAC I tried to extract the patch for the vista update and it worked this time and when I replaced the file the game was able to launch sucessfully. I also used win xp sp 2 compatibility mode.
