Why Wont This Work!!!

[LilGuido]

im pretty sure i can run kotor 2 easily. i was able to play half-life 2, far cry and doom 3. those need some decent hardware (save for half-life 2 since its so flexible but i was running it really nicely at medium detail). i know the cracks should work. they should have worked for kotor, they seemed to have worked for everyone except me. im the only one thats ever had a problem like this, its flipping wierd.

get ur hardware right, no way u can run those games with 32mb graphs...

[tbaher]

that isn't the question..
the question is this: Are you a pirate?
Here's my reasoning:
If the games run with original CDs they wont have any additional hardware requirements after the patch (duh).

This is not a hardware issue is it?

You are complaining that the games don't work after applying the crack.

• If they run with your original CDs then everybody stop talking about hardware.
• If they don't then this is the wrong forum.
• If you don't have the original CDs then you will be banned.

no no its nothing to do with hardware(look at my second post). no i am not a pirate(arg).

my cds are scratched but they still do work with occational skipping. why question was about the possible reason the game wont run after i apply the cracks.

[tbaher]

That's a good question.

Hardware is out of the question. (BAD cdrom drive problems usually are SOLVED by the crack for example)

Did you try the same CDs on a different machine?


EDIT: Just as a thought .. maybe ur using the wrong language crack or wrong version (like US vs UK).
When a crack says 1.0 it means "vanilla" .. no upgrade patches .. nothing..
(bioware games run the autoupdater after install so unplug ur internet)
Sometimes a retail version of the game is 1.04.3 and the crack would still say "1.0" just because 1.0 means "the version that came with the cd"

It is 32mb allowed but has to have T&L, the fx5200 has it, but it may have been disabled or your using microsofts nvidia drivers which dont help things.

[LilGuido]

wut exactly is T&L and where exactly could i check to see if its disabled?

im using the 66.93 display driver. i just looked at nvidias site and see that they now have v. 71.89. should i get the new driver and see if that solves my problem?
