wtf!?!

[Spee]

I recently have acquired the game KotoR from a friend. Upon installation, it worked. According to the diagnostic, it said I met the minimum specs easily. I fired it up, and video fucking lag. So, I turn ALL settings to the lowest possible, and the gamr runs decently.


However, when I get into the apartment, I hit "w" And suddenly, the game flips out and I can barely do anything. I clip into random walls, have no control of my avatar, and was only able to exit by the luck of my avatar slamming himself into the door.

I get to the area outside, and, upon initiating combat, I draw my sword, and go to attack.

However, the game doesnt show any other frames other than the initial "beginning battle" frame.

I have a 1.7 GHz, 1 gig of 2100 DDR, and a GeForce FX 5200. Not a horrid system at all, and I get good frames in planetside.

How the fuck can a game company be allowed to release a game this flawed?

get a patch or something.

Kotor has severe stability problems, so you'll have to download the most recent patch. However, I noticed that I still have random crashes to desktop despite having the most updated version. Sad, but true.

[Spee]

Patch nothing. Editorial time.

Indeed, upon loading new areas it's common so if I forget to save before leaving an area there's a good chance I'll lock up my comp and lose my progress. I normally yell goddamnit or something and whack my desk

[StrangeFellow]

the game crashes to desktop more than ps does but it's still fun

[Lonehunter]

I've heard awesome things about KoTor, but I never really got into it, but now that I like SWG I'm not worried about the Star Wars theme, does anybody hear think it's NOT a good game?

[SDM]

I've been playing KotOR all fucking week, it's bad ass. I think it hung on me once.
Playing lightside is way harder than dark, being evil gets you more xp, and $$$. :D

[Sputty]

I prefer playing lightside

[Hezzy]

I've only won it once, and that was on light.

Xbox Xbox Xbox

:doh: that sucks :doh:

[Neon Apocalypse]

its alot more stable on xbox, except sometimes the frames lag

[Dharkbayne]

I have NEVER heard ANYONE speak poorly about it. It's one of the best RPGs ever made, so immersive and fun.

If your a guy, you and bastilla make love in one of the rooms on the Ebon Hawk... well the screen goes black and you here noises... As setari said yesterday on IRC, it sould be like a menu...

Played it through dark side, and immediately started a new game to play it through light side. One of the better games I've ever played, even with the occasional crash. The only real video lag issue I had is in the plains of Dantooine. For some reason that area of the planet lags me to the point that if I run forward a step it will freeze and the next thing I know I'm on the other side of the map. It makes finishing that area a huge pain in the ass for me, and I dropped graphic settings down there to little improvement.

***game spoiler below***

Playing on the dark side is so incredibly fun, by far the most evil thing I've ever had a chance to do in any game is when I used both the guilt of his life debt and force persuasion to make Big Z kill Mission. I laughed like a bastard when that went down.
