Massive Kotor2 graphic issues (I am not running vista)

TheAtomicPineapple · 06-15-2009, 08:58 PM

Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to read this thread.

Today I went and purchased Kotor2 for PC, having played it for a bit on xbox. The install went well, until I tried to actually start playing the game.

Bellow I have included some screen shots, they can describe what I am seeing better than I can.

Basically when I start the game, I move past the main menu, and go to start a new character. The screen appears like this.

As you can see, the bodies of the playable classes are nowhere to be seen. It is worth mentioning that the screen flickers repeatedly and is invaded by these blocks of various other colors, as you will see.

The first time I loaded the game up it didn't make it past the first loading screen, the second time it did. This is what it shows during the opening cinematic.

Seeing anything that resembles what it should is impossible.

It continues to this

and finally to the actual game play

================================

Here is the result of the swinfo screen. Please note that I meet and exceed all of the system requirements on the test, as well as on
www.systemrequirementslab.com.

The test doesn't account for my dual processors, equaling 3.2 MHz.

hi i had the exact same problem and it was to do with your graphics card driver. i had the newest ATI one installed and after re installing the oldest one i had on my computer, look in the ATI folder in the C:\ATI and install the oldest one you have. im sure if you google it you should find and old one aswell. then i had it running fine on full settings.
