Topic: Undercity Bug

Hi, I'm new here and not sure if this is the place to post technical questions, but...

Whenever I try to go to the Undercity in Taris, it blacks out, sometimes I get a faint image of what should load, but that's it, and my only option is to manually shut-down my computer and reboot.

I've looked for ways to solve it, but none of them have worked.

So far I've:
-Upgraded to game version 1.03, by both manually downloading the LucasArts web page patch and using the game updater tool.
-Upgraded graphics drivers for my computer.
-Upgraded the .exe file to avoid the Emulation error.
-Upgraded the .ini file with the "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" line.
-Switched off grass (and shadows) in the graphics options - which has been commonly cited as a solution to this problem.

If anyone knows of a way to fix this, or something to try, that would be really useful. Thanks.

Re: Undercity Bug

I think that some of the game files are corrupted. I suggest that you reinstall the game and start from beginning, if the problem reoccurs then the the problem might be with your graphics card or with the OC. Which OC are you using?

Re: Undercity Bug

Oh, I forgot to say I'd already tried uninstalling/reinstalling it. Oops.

I'm not sure what you mean by OC, but if you mean operating system, then it's Vista Basic.

Re: Undercity Bug

I remember playing Kotor on Vista Ultimate and I didn't have any problems. Maybe Vista Basic lacks something that is required for games to run properly. I would say that you need to change your operating system. Windows 7 maybe, or windows 8 maybe while it's still free.

Anyway, that's the only solution I can think of.

Re: Undercity Bug

I agree that you need to switch to Windows because Vista Basic dose not have the required setup to play a game like KOTOR 1 or 2. That is why they came out with Vista Ultimate because they solved that problem that the Basic verison had.

Re: Undercity Bug

Ok, thank you guys. I never had any problems running other games on my computer, so I never thought it might be the operating system.
I take it that there's no known problems with other operating systems? Just for future reference.

Re: Undercity Bug

I don't think so because everyother post about the problems you are having is because they all tried to KOTOR 1 or 2 on Vista Basic.

On another note I hope you stay on here and keep posting in the rest of the forum.

Re: Undercity Bug

Just thought you guys'd like to know you were right. Same game disk, same external hard drive, same game files, Windows 7, and works a treat.
(I finally had to replace my old laptop and got around to testing the game.)
