Topic: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

Hello

I just recently bought a copy of KotOR 2 and had some initial problems with start up. After installing a patch, I managed to get the game working, but now I can't load any games that I manually saved. Only autosaves work.

When I begin to load a saved game, the loading screen shows partial progress, but doesn't load all the way. WHen I open up the Window's Task Manager, it says they the game is running properly, and when I end the application, the game brings up a message bar that asks, "Do you want to quit the game?". Does anybody else have this issue? Is there a patch?

ALso, it may be worth noting that when I attempt to start a new game, the opening scroll plays, but the Prologue only playes audio, and my screen remains black.

A last note, I have tried to play the X-box version, but I am using an X-box 360, which causes a lot of combat issues an sound glitches, and when combined with my television's terrible picture quality, I would be better off trying to fix my computer copy.

Thank you for your time!
Also, if I need to give more information to help solve the problem,
please tell me to do so!

Okay, Vista sucks when it comes to play games because it was really made for office workers. Yet see, If the patch did not work you may not have the amount of memory on your computer to play the game. Try going on your computer and clean out your memory of stuff you never use such as junk files and so on. Then reload you game and try it again but if that dose not work you could delete the whole game from your computer and restall the game again. That is all I know that you could do and I hope that I have helped you out and I am sorry that I could not be of anymore help.

Thanks for your help. I have 2GB of memory, but much of it may be taken up by other games and add-ons for them. I will try what you have said. Thanks again!

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

Hello again. Sorry, but I have one last question to ask.

When I attempt to begin a new game, the screen is entirely black. On the Ebon Hawk, I am able to hear audio just fine, and when I hit escape, I am brought to the menu system, which functions properly. I can load savegames from my other character without incident, too. I think it may be an issue with missing files in the game. If anybody has time aid me in this battle between me and Windows Vista, I would really appreciate it. Thank you once again for your time.

Also, I have not posted in other forums yet, becuase I can't think of anything valuable to say, and I would rather remain silent than open my mouth and sound foolish...

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

then you have wisdom.

anyway, i wouldn't know. that's why i have the xbox version. it's simpler.

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

First off I told you that Vista sucks when it comes to trying to play games. To your question, All I can think off is that you could have deleted something that looked like it was not important but was needed to play the game. Their is a tombstone command that you can type in your computer to find deleted files (only if it has not been over a month). If you can't find the deleted files then I guess that you will have to take it to a computer shop to see if they can help you. That is all I know that could help you with this and I hope that it helps.

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

Would re-installing the game solve the problem?
Also, I can't switch operating systems or use the X-box version
(because my infernal X-box 360 and backwards compatibility go
toghether like cats and water). The only reason I am so persistent
about fixing my troubles with KOTOR II is because I want to enjoy
the game again, and I have no other choices to do so...

Thanks again for your guidance. After this, I promise I won't
bother you further with my questions...

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

You can try to re-install the game but you need to make sure that you delete the whole game first. Then re-install it and take your time when doing so, That way you will not miss anything. If you ever have another problem just ask because I do not mind helping someone who needs help. I hope that this works and I will try to think of anything else that may help you and post it.

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

Thanks again. I will delete the whole "SWKotOR2" file under LucasArts, then.

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

Let me know if it works.

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

I uninstalled the game and...
now it refuses to re install. My computer won't recognize the
CD when I put it in the tray, and I can't re-install the game.
I think there is something wrong with the game CD...

It may be worth stating also that I used the windows uninstall feature.

Re: Vista Save And Load Issues (among Others)

I think that was your problem when you used windows to try to upload the game again. Try it without using windows and is if that works and I will try to think of something else that may help you.
