The topic title might be a little confusing, so just hang with me here (exactly what my game tends to do too). I recently fixed that visual bug with the flickering polygons and black screen by adding the "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" to Graphic Options to my current modded copy of the game. So far, the game runs a bit smoother and I haven't had the graphic crash. Instead, a new problem is occurring.

On Peragus, when I try to melee, either by hand or with the Plasma torch, the first busted door, the game crashes. I thought it might of been due to my mods, so I tried it on my Vanilla patched game, but the crash is still happening. Prior to adding the "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1", I also got the same issue, but I would cheat my stats and unlock the door, so it occurred later when I attacked some Mining Droids. The weird thing was that I was using a lightsaber, and the game wouldn't crash unless I attacked a specific unit in the third group you encounter.

Seeing as this occurs on the Vanilla game, I won't bother with my mods list, and I'll skip straight to the computer specs:

OS: Windows XP SP3
CPU: Pentium 4 3.20GHz (Dual Core)
RAM: 1GB DDR2
GPU: ATi Radeon X1300/X1550 Series 256MBs

Hopefully we can resolve this soon; if it's just my shity computer, I'm saving money for a new one, so in the meantime, I'll just use whereami band to force the door open.

Hey guys, after looking around, I finally found a solution!

Solution Post

Turns out I had to simply change my processor affinity. It's gonna be annoying to do it everytime I start the game, but at least we've solved that problem. Hopefully anybody else with a similar problem will find this solution helpful too.

It worked, I reinstalled the game because I wanted to make sure my mods were correctly installed, and then it died on me again. This sucks.

Alright, I finally have the solution. For anyone who doesn't read my current status and is having the same issue, ensure that you set "Texture Pack" to "Low". It may work with "Medium", but I'm not willing to test it out.
