I just installed KOTOR II, and created a character as normal. So far, so good.

However, once I clicked on the 'start game' button, the game (and I've done this several times) goes into a blank screen with some background noises, then crashes.

Has this happened to anyone else?

The game is really buggy. I had problems until the official patch was released.

First make sure you have the latest patch installed, and then if you still have problems try the Obsidian forums for help.

All the videos in the game are in 640x480, so if your monitor doesnt support this then you could have trouble (I believe a video plays when you click the start game button.) My monitor is supposed to, but it doesn't properly and I often crashed when a video played. When you say you've done this a number of times do you mean you've played the game a number of times, or tried and got the same problem a number of times?

I meant that I've tried creating a character and starting a game a number of times. I haven't yet got it to work... :/

I have the latest patch, so I don't think that's it. I tried disabling movies; are there some that play anyway? I could always try and put my screen in a lower resolution... hmm.

thanks guys, all help is appreciated :)

Haha, cheers. I did post my problem there, and I did get 10 replies fairly quickly, but alas, no luck so far :(.

However, KotOR 1 is a huge orgy.

Too bad. If those guys can't help you, I'm not sure anyone can -_-

I... don't know if it'd help for you... but I had a pretty similar problem with the game. -_- The movies would play normally for me, but the game would hang up before returning to the actual game. I tried the patch, and no luck. :(

However, when I play the game in windowed (Fullscreen set to "0" in swkotor2.ini) mode, everything seems to be working fine! The cutscenes look a bit odd stretched to my screen resolution, but at least the game no longer hangs. :mellow: It's annoying, but at least it's playable, I guess.

Hope this helps. :unsure:

This isn't so much of a problem more of a question and hopefully somebody can give me a straight answer this time....i've heard that you can unlock some secret videos inside t3-m4 of bastila and carth, first off how do you do it, second, what allgnment do you have to be, third i've actually tried it several times but all i get is some stupid meditation thing with t3....please tell me how to do this in detail as i plan on making a run through in the next little while, and if you got the time please put in detail what carth and bastila say or at least talk about in the hidden messages in your reply, thanks....Anonymous

Some conversation options are only open inside the Ebon Hawk, return to the ship and try again (I think it's the second or third dialog option). -_-

It's really pointless though, since this converstion option doesn't really net you anything. <_<

Okay fellas, but that doesn't really help, trust me i've tried everyway and it never worked for me, dark and light, full influence, and nothing, somebody told me once that you have to have like 17 intelligence and some extra skill repair to get the option....is this true or not? and please give me a more straight forward response, thank you....

An intelligence of at least 16 is required as well as some [Computer] skills. The holovid can be via the second dialog option aboard the Ebon Hawk.

I'm not sure why you're making such a big deal out of it. All you get is a talking head. (Much like the Gekko reactor computer in Fallout 2) :P

As per the videos inside T3, there are 4 to be unlocked.

1 is of Bastilla in jedi robes, of if Revan was male and lightside.
1 is of Bastilla in sith robes, of if Revan was male and darkside.
1 is of Carth in his new uniform, of if Revan was female and lightside.
1 is of Carth on unknown planet, if Revan was female and darkside (before she kills him)

The Revan male/female lightside/darkside is of course set by the questions from Atton at the beginning of the game.

They also require a computer use skill of something (13? 15? i cant remember for sure) and an INT of something (also cant remember, been a long time since I've played) to ask T3 where he came from.

Knowledge is power. Power Corrupts. Study Hard. Be evil.
