A thread has been made to bring you up to date on some of the 'behind the scenes' goings on at SB if that is of interest to you:Clicky McClickFace
Discussion in 'Tech Talk' started by Ithillid, Jul 28, 2016.
On Korriban for PC your player will go into solo mode to enter a tomb that contains a number of challenges, including a confrontation with some character from your past.our past.
Search the entire tomb until a find a room containing a Jedi corpse. When you search the corpse, a Hssiss Dragon will spawn (and is easily defeated). However, when you search the corpse repeatedly, several Hssiss Dragons will spawn until the room is full of them.
This is an excellent way to maximize your XP and continue to level up until you reach level 50.
If you are playing as a Light Side character, you will not be able to regenerate Force points in this location and therefore will have to fight off the Hssiss Dragons with LightSabers and other weapons rather than Force Powers.

- More KOTOR 2 Cheats here.
Yes, the game was released in '03, so a six year old disk based copy of this game would be
a pre-patched re-release version similar to mine.
- Speaking of GOG. GOG removes all DRM, so any game they sell will not have an DRM related issue.
- What mods ? I suggested two changes to the games graphics setup options which are not available in
the games setup screen. These are game settings, not mods. I did mention not needing them myself, and
the game will run on my Win10 machine with or without Frame Buffering, and either in full screen or windowed,
but apparently one, or both do help some people, so you need to use whichever option works for you.
- Enabling EAX sound on a system that does not use EAX can also crash some games.
- To verify I have no issue with starting a new game after character creation, I just moved my save folder to the desktop (renaming with a 1a at the front as I usually do didn't prevent the game from accessing it),
and I had no problem starting the game from the beginning.
Win10 does block older disk based games that used SafeDisk copy protection, and with these games you
need to use a noCD fix/hack, but this is not one of them.
I just had a look and see KOTR uses SecuROM copy protection, which has plenty of issues on it's own.
One of those issues is, some versions of SecuROM are not compatible with 64bit versions of Windows,
so these games have required using a noCD on any 64bit version of Windows since XP.
- Looking again, it seems I may be using a noCD fix with this game. I just tried to launch the game using the
LaunchKOTR.exe and it popped up a message to insert the CD, so it looks like I may not have kept a copy of the
noCD fix as I normally do.
Or maybe not ? The noCD fix swkotr.exe is 13.1MB, but the swkotr.exe in my games folder is only 3.85MB. The noCD fix also comes with a swkotr.bak file which is not present in the games folder.
- However, the game launches without the CD if I use the StarWars-KOTR.exe or the swkotr.exe .
( I also didn't try the swkotr.exe yesterday, and I'd forgotten that you can enable/disable Frame Buffering in the
games menu. It's only the full screen option that requires you to use the .ini file. )
Interestingly, when I use the disk and launch the game with the LaunchKOTR.exe, it either does not start,
or stops loading after the first screen.
- Have you run the Analyse your computer option that comes up with the splash screen when you launch
using the LaunchKOTR.exe ? Are the results positive ? 'graphics card has updated driver information.'
- I don't know what you mean by 'driver information', but if you have not been able to download a
Win10 specific graphics driver from the mfg of the card that you have yet to give the brand and model of
( I doubt any card with only 1GB VRAM has a Win10 driver), your graphics processor
is not likely to be running optimally.
If after running the Analyse your computer option if you get a negative result I reckon not having a proper
Win10 driver would be high probability why.
The generic driver installed by Win10 is not adequate for gaming, in spite of what MS marketing may say.
That you cannot get beyond the character creation screen, and into the actual game graphics, where the
gpu actually starts doing some work, may be an indication of this.
- To a lesser extent the same applies to motherboard drivers. The audio, and cpu/chipset drivers in particular.
It is because there are no WIn10 motherboard drivers that my older machine ( AMD PhenomII 965) is still on Win7. Gigabyte does not have Win10 specific chipset or audio drivers for this machines motherboard.
The graphics (GTX770) does have Win10 drivers but, personally, it's just not worth the potential hassle of stuffing around with problems that may result from not having Win10 drivers, and which may not be identified by an
accurate error message that points to a driver issue.
There is enough on a gaming machine without taking unnecessary risks with what is termed
'Legacy' hardware. Win10 just does not have that much going for it, particularly on machines
that are not DX12 capable, to be worth the trouble.
