Star Wars: KotoR II - Bug or copy protection ?

[Neipas02]

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?

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

Nice and interesting fix.

They hate you too warlord

Yea nice solutions choochoo.. Respect.. And you didn't use big words at that, so even Tyler can understand. (Working on my first ban )

Respect.. Respect

[Drama!]

Choochoo, can you use relative paths instead of absolute in the [ALIAS] section ? You tried? Sure it will be a better solution for everyone.
I own the original KOTOR and I´ve also copied it to my HDD because it loooong load times. That game has a lot of bugs too.
