Sorry for the bump, but I wanted to share the final solution. Install KotOR 1 & KotOR 2. Backup up Mss32.dll and your "Miles" folder in KotOR2 folder. Copy the Mss32.dll and "Miles" folder from KotOR 1 to KotOR2. tl;dr It helps to copy the Miles folder, as well as the .dll file. While it didn't play the menu music, everything else is working perfectly now.

Yeah, bookmarked and always done right before I try play any KotOR install. As it turns out, this computer remembered my settings, but I went ahead, set them to default and then changed them back again just to make sure the settings weren't corrupt. EDIT: Found something strange. After going to swconfig, I discovered it was wrongly reporting my audio device. I uninstalled all audio drivers aside from my nVIDIA and Realtek drivers, and also disabled audio. Game loaded up to a black screen, which is progress. Obviously, this means both my graphics and audio drivers are at fault.

So, after re-reading Scorchy's LP and then seeing the incredible amount of progress on TSLRCM, M478-EP and all the new mods, I decided I wanted to play again today. Long story short, I'm stuck. I've tried everything I could and I think I now know the culprit. I have Retail and Steam copies of both games. The problem is that KotORII (both versions) will not start at all, even though it's listed in task manager wasting away 39MBs of RAM. No videos, no error messages, nothing. Interestingly, KotOR plays the logo movie, but then goes back to the desktop. There's still an icon in the taskbar, but clicking on it does nothing, and the preview shows a black screen. I've come to the conclusion, considering that I've finished this game several times on this laptop, that something is wrong with the newest nVIDIA drivers. Reinstalling and restarting hasn't helped, so what I think I need to do is rollback to a previous driver level that supported KotOR/KotORII. That's where I'm stuck. I'm not sure what drivers (that support my card) will also support KotOR. Does anybody have a possible suggestion on where I could find something? My Specs: OS: Windows 7 64-bit CPU: Intel i7 GPU: nVIDIA GeForce GT 630M (I've firmly disabled the Intel 4000) RAM: 8GB I also have a small suspicion that Audio Drivers might be at fault, but I know I haven't updated them since the last time I played the game, so for now I want to focus on the graphics card. Help is appreciated, thank you. EDIT: So, after breaking my nVIDIA drivers and then fixing them, I discovered KotOR1 works fine so long as I use Alt-Enter while the videos are playing. KotORII is still screwed. Damn :/

It depends on the game for me, but scanning is pretty much the only thing I've needed a guide on since I was going to waste money and probes for a while. Also, I rather regret this now, but back before I even finished ME1 on the Xbox, my friend showed me the ending to ME2. Quite pissy about that now that I'm playing it, but seeing as this isn't the first time (it's actually quite common, and the only game I'm concerned about spoilers in right now is Bioshock: Infinite), I'm not too concerned. At least I know what I need to do so I don't completely fail...

I was in the same position as milestails, with the difference being I had only played ME1 once on the Xbox, mostly skipping dialogue and just doing the main missions. A couple months back I bought ME1 and M2 DDE for about $5/$10 on Steam, and just a few days ago I decided it was a good time to finally make a serious attempt at the series. Feels a little weird still not having all the DLC (Pinnacle Station for ME1, regardless of if it's good or not, and the costume packs and other stuff not included with DDE for ME2), but I'll probably get them about the same time I finally decide to get ME3 and go back and fix the very few things I realised I did wrong in ME1 (apparently forgot to intitate a romance somehow, forgot to influence Garrus one more time to get him to say he attempted to rejoin C-Sec in ME2, and a few other minor things). Of course, if ME3 was avaliable on Steam right now I'd go sell everything in my possession and get it right now, but for now I have to wait until I can either be bothered to brave Origin (I have a long history with EA and Origin, and my boycott for their Origin service is still in effect) or they finally send it out to Steam (preferably like Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, where all the DLC is automatically included). I used the ME2 save editor in the wrong place, so all the ME1 errors I attempted to fix are still present, and I can't stop Conrad Verner going off at me for the gun I never pulled on him or a couple other things ME1 wrongly saves. That's pretty much the only application I have for the save editor, just to ensure all the choices I made are perfect. Playing ME2 for my first time right now, I'm about 15 hours in (IIRC, I'm on break and I can't be bothered to get my HDD to check Steam). It was very disorientating at first, with how much more focus was put on combat and how a lot of things have changed, but now I'm really getting the hang of it and enjoying it. My aim is still pretty terrible, but nonetheless I still eventually press my way through. Seeing Garrus (I had a lot of chuckling with his mission) and Liara again was fantastic. I've yet to see Wrex and Tali I want to see more of. Ashley was thourghly annoying (Kaiden would have probably been less agressive, but that's for another save). The new party members are pretty cool, although still need to collect Legion, Thane and Samara (probably a few others) and I won't have Kasumi without that DLC. The story and the jokes are great in both, although, as this is a paragon run, there's not as many as if I did a renegade run (cocky Shepard has a sense of humour). Also, I'm terrible with picking the right team members to get the funny dialogue. Thankfully, there's always YouTube...which I should thank, because it's the reason I'm doing this now. Spent months just watching those less than a minute videos to see some funny dialogue from the ME series. They have influenced me a little bit to try set up conversations to see those things for myself ("Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining"), but generally me and my Shepard for the most part do what we do. One thing, though. I appreciate the removal of the Mako (it wasn't the Mako control that was the problem, it was mainly the hidden objectives and the size of the maps that irritated me), but the scanning mission is probably more annoying for me. Thankfully the wiki has a great load of tips to help. God bless you, nerds everywhere!

The video uploaders don't get permission, but that doesn't make it right for you. They're just lucky that Sony doesn't want to have to file hundreds of lawsuits against thousands of YouTube videos using their content. http://www.sonymusic.com/copyrightinformation This page and each tab has all the relevant information for using their music. You'll need to contact them with the email address to get the permission, but be warned, they will likely charge you money for the right.

Sion with the Emperors music. I don't know. I think the current soundtrack is fantastic, and while the movie was good as well, it was designed for those characters, while the game's score was designed for these characters. Furthermore, that piece of music is very out of place for Sion's first scene. It's a very creepy, scary and low scene. The music you wish to add is very big and loud and even a tad exciting. Now, I admit the bit from 1 minute in might suit more than the start, but I still disagree. Every main character has their own theme (or at least the main Sith and Jedi). Listen to Sion's theme in the soundtrack for K2, then compare to the Emperors arrival theme. Doesn't match. And of course, we'd be ruining the individuality presented by each individual character's theme music. I understand why you want to do this; all of the films had a fantastic score. But, I think the music in these games matches the games, and it's the one thing that should be left untouched (unless adding a new planet).

Not sure if this is spoilers or not, but you have been warned. Yes, have you completed Nar Shaddaa and spoken to Vogga yet?

I tried it on my old computer, but as I had no interest in the speeder races I didn't test to see if that bug was fixed and subsequently the patch was applied to the 1.0b .exe.

Nah, playing 800x600. I wish I could have been more helpful, but I gave up on the resolution changers when my old install was breaking down and I had to figure out what the problem was (was a variety of things including a faulty graphic card driver and a broken texture mod).

Haven't tested it, and I probably won't, as windowed works perfectly for me on my 1366x768 display.

This is a minor inconvenience, and I'm pretty sure it's with vanilla TSL as well, so I don't mind if it's not addressed. The holograms for people show their eyeballs. It's really freaky and weird. Would like it if they could be hidden or something. EDIT: New problem; On Telos, Entertainment Module 081. The Czerka mercenaries are already attacking the Sullastan on entry. The first dialogue fires, but after killing both mercenaries, the second dialogue with the Sullistan doesn't fire, meaning he just stands there in the panic animation. Talking to him centers the camera like when you try talking to any npc without a dialogue. Tried to go into the Cantina and return to see if that would change things, but the screen went black when attempting to leave the cantina. I'm very tired right now and I've been using cheats/KSE, and it's likely there's a conflicting mod somewhere, so I'll get back to you on this. For now, don't worry too much.
