Star Wars: KotoR II - Bug or copy protection ?

[Warlord711]

I dont know what it is but it causes a bug.

At the first mission, on the mining station where you wake up, you have to take over control of a droid and reroute command for a console.

After you have done this, a cinematic scene starts and your droid gets destroyed. After this i only see a black screen but the game still runs and i can open Options and all the stuff. I can see that i play the main char again. If i save now and load the same save game i control the main char at the location where the droid gets destroyed. If i leave the room with the main char, i get switched back to the droid which is destroyed and unusable.

Hey Warlord,

Are you running off your hard drive or a backup DVD.. Try and reback it up once or twice using different methods.. Databurn/ISO burn etc.. Also check a walk throught to check how the game is supposed to run up to that point and see if you can trigger something to get by..

Also anyone else with this game please post and let us know if you're having this problem or not.

yes, where the robot is about an hour into the game the screen turns black... it seems to work from bought/copied games, it works from the disk

as soon as you get past this part, i am told that you can go through the rest of the game without it black screening again(on the hard drive), its just this one part

Choochoo just to make sure of what you said
(this doesn't happen when you run off a backup DVD-R)
(it is possible to get past this part when running off the hard disk? if so explain how)..

Just to clarify.. Thanks

Has anyone done the hdd or fatx check patch on this game?






Tyler!

1)yes, you can run the whole game off the backup dvd-r (long load times)

2)you can also run it off the hd, stop... use a dvd-r and get past this part (there will be no more black screens, just this one mess up) OR...

3)In the file "swdirsXbox.ini" you change all of the "d:\"'s to the directory that your star wars game is in.....I'll show you what I mean.

The directory my Star Wars game is in is this "f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\."

Now this is how the file looks when I changed them:

[Alias]
HD0= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\
OVERRIDE= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\ Override
ERRORTEX= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2 \Errortex
TEMP=z:\Temp
MODULES= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\ Modules
LOGS=t:\Logs
LOCALVAULT= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\ LocalVault
DMVAULT= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\ DMVault
SERVERVAULT= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\ ServerVault
STREAMMUSIC= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\ STREAMMusic
TEMPCLIENT=z:\Tempclient
SAVES=u:\
CURRENTGAME=z:\currentgame
TEXTUREPACKS= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2 \texturepacks
STREAMWAVES= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2 \StreamWaves
GAMEINPROGRESS=z:\GAMEINPROGRESS
REBOOTDATA=z:\rebootdata
LIPS= f:\Games\StarWarsKnightsoftheOldRepublic2\ Lips

**dont put spaces in the directory name even if it does have them**
then...
save right before the terminal, go back to the menu and quit the game, goto Movies and select the sith trailer. Sit through and watch it (I know, sounds stupid) wait until it's finished and returns you to the menu, and then go back and load your game, and go through the terminal sequence, it should go black and then go to the autosaving screen. Hope this helps
