Apologies for that!
1) During the game, when did the problem begin to occur?
As previously mentioned, when trying to exit Khoonda after defeating Azkul, the game goes to black and crashes. Using both the main exit and the garage exit results in crashing.
2) Did you install the latest version of the mod?
1.8.3. No other mods installed.
3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version?
Steam
5) Did you install this over the previous version(s), or did you perform a fresh installation as required by the TSLRCM's read-me file?
Fresh install. I even tried re-installing everything from scratch, but that didn't work.
9) Can you be more specific about the error? At what point did it happen?
Dantooine was the first planet I visited after Telos. Like I said, it was after defeating Azkul and having the long talk with Vrook. When trying to exit Khoonda via any of the exits, the game crashes. Even during the pre-battle and battle sequences I was experiencing problems. During the sequence where Azkul notices the militia building up, the game begins to lag, and on some occasions even crash. I also experienced several crashes when trying to select your party for the battle. I managed to get past all those issues by saving immediately when the game began to freeze up, and then continuing on from that save upon reloading the game. Unfortunately now I am completely stuck, unable to do anything.
As mentioned, I tried loading an early save from when I had just finished Telos. I decided to head instead to Nar Shadaa, but after Atton's brief introduction to the planet, the game crashes upon loading the movie of the ship in space.
I have not tried going to Onderon or the other planets yet. It may sound rather petty but I'm pretty intent on playing in the order I desire!
EDIT: I decided to load a save prior to the Azkul fight, and head to Onderon. Onderon/Dxun work fine and I managed to finish them up. I then tried my luck again with Nar Shaddaa. Game still crashes after Atton's intro scene unfortunately.
10) Have you tried re-downloading the mod?
Yes.
11) Have you tried using a different save game?
Yup. Neither of them work.
12) Have you tried starting a new game?
Yup. No luck unfortunately.
13) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.)
Running XP on a Mac (10.10.2) via Parallels.
Frame buffer effects isn't even selectable in my options! I have tried most of the known fixes I've been able to come across on the net, including windowed mode and turning grass off and what not. No luck I'm afraid.
