simple question about Restoration install.... i tried many mods. with or without TSL patcher. problem is... EVERY TSL installer worked fine for me except this one for K1 Restoration 1.2 in fact, it did the job regularly only twice... it didnt finish install in about 200 other cases (i didnt count). so question is, why the hell this installer doesnt work properly? i sent question to Fair Strides with details. here is c/p: "greetz Restoration 1.2 installer just doesnt finish regularly.. i always get "Error: Unhandled exception: Cannot create file "C:\Users\"user_name"\Desktop\K1R 1.0\k1r_paztourney_tmp\enter_paz.ncs". Access is denied" i found several posts about that. it said to disable UAC (i did), run as administrator (i did at least hundred of times in various combination of compatibility), checked privilegees on folder where Restoration install is, checked privilegees on kotor game folder, tried to run TSL patcher with all possible combination (xp/packs, vista/packs, 7) but none of these things didnt help... i even uninstalled kotor several times, moved restoration install to some other folder on hdd, even installed from USB memory, but always get the same error... i have to mention that i already had regularly installed K1R + Ultimate Graphics mod + BOS: Solomons Revenge... all 3 were installed sucessfully and i played it regularly until i got stupid crash of BoS practicaly at the end (when solomon revive kobayashi and finally dies, in next cut scene Shadow is standing with hands on her back and watching Korriban panorama, after sentence "Are you enjoying the view?" my game crashes, tried every possible trick to manage this but nothing helped. so, i cant finish job on Korriban and finally go further to Unknown World and i decided to remove BoS and make new install with some other item/gameplay mods) now, i just dont know what to do anymore with this TSL installer problem and i cant find any new useful issue how to solve this problem tnx in advance" meanwhile, i noticed that installer break operation NOT ON THE SAME FILE.... it looks like more randomly (mostly on files paz_holo_base.utp, paz_holo_1bad.utp, paz_holo_3bad.utp, paz_holo_4bad.utp, paz_holo_5bad.utp....). it is obviously some strange issue with privilegees and accessing temporary files in backup folder, but whole this issue does not make any sence coz this folder structure clearly has ALL access privilegees for ALL users also... other surplus mods in install (iriaz, manaan sea party, vulkar base, yuhani/jolee).... they all work regularly except Vulkar Base, and i get the same problem with it as with main installation (installer breaks operation also randomly almost every time on different file) edit... new "meanwhile"... main installation finally passed after about 250 runs.... ridiculous.. vulkar base still wont work... so, i logged off and logged in as administrator and vulkar base passed without any problems.... again.... RIDICULOUS...

HELP!! my game crashes practicaly at the end of Solomons revenge (after Solomon revive Kobayashi then dies, next scene Shadow is standing with hands on her back.... after sentence "Are you enjoying a view?" game crashes everytime). cant believe that i have problem with crashing now at the end... i have update 1.1 installed, but there is no mention of this possible bug.... how can i solve this issue? how to fix it? now i cant finish it and finally continue to travel to Unknown World..... some views and opinions about solomons revenge.... i finished Kotor and Kotor 2 numerous of times (both light and dark path), but this mod i played for the first time.. have to admit that mod is really excellent except two annoying things: - too much Twylek language... mean... after some time it becomes annoying, boring and funny to listen so much "shakapaka" word.. but this is not so problem as second issue... - too many "dead, then alive, have to kill again... again dead, again alive, again kill..."... after finishing mod, it looks like that author used every possible combination of battling between characters... i could say that author of the mod went too far with that. have to admit that some parts are made very clever (big applause for that, especially "white void" part), but i think that at least 1/3 of battles (rather say combination of characters who are battling) are not necessary. during several last battles i have to admit that i get bored of everything, i mean... i just killed someone (or something) and have to do it again... and again... and again... like "shakapaka" issue but with big difference that several battles were not funny, but irritating... at some points, i remembered characters from horror movies where they are killed once, two, three... zilion times...(like Michael, Jason, Freddy, etc) and good guys have to do that again in a new sequel... so, near the end of playing this mod i found myself speaking into monitor "just drop dead" because i wanted to finish this mess finally and continue with regular Kotor story... generaly about scenario... BOS quest is relatively ok (one or two battles should be kicked out), but solomons revenge has too much conversations (and battles) around same issues (about Shadow, Revan, Solomon...) and worst of all, they are in fact continued battling with BoS (Solomon is only a tool through BoS is active again). i could say that story is generaly ok, but a little bit too streched (just like "combinations" of battles).... on the top of that, several battles are too difficult and they depend too much on opponent AI (their stupidity)... for example, last tough battle where all characters from regular party + mod party are all against Revan and they are used as new energy (life) for main opponent. fortunately, there are several areas on this level to run and room to quickly hide and pray that they come on Revan one by one... its simply impossible to pass this battle if rushing on all of them despite of all upgrades... upgrades... eh, yes... i noticed that sometimes upgrades are still active after loading new area, sometimes not... bad thing is that this happen mostly when next battle is tough and enemies are right too close to the playable character... every new loading playable character get damage even before automatic pause and this can be very frustrating. without running all over the place and lot of injections/life packs/melee&energy shields/force speed, it is really difficult to win. btw... we can conclude that Revan is constantly on drugs in Kotor.. especially if playing BOS mod, haha... when the quest is over, Revan should rehabilitate himself of so much adrenaline in his blood all in all... think that plot went too much outside of star wars universe... mean, all these unnatural issues about BOS, ancient artifact, ancient temple, unnatural things... it more looks like that it is from star trek universe, not star wars. on the top of that, Revan and party members are in hurry to save Bastilla, find out what is Star Forge anyway (and destroy it of course), and to stop Malaak... playing BOS seems too long without almost any comments about their main goal, so this is maybe main minus to play mod anyway.. at least i felt like that after finishing it...
