Thank you very much for the reply... So this is the reason right?

Combat log for reference Character Stats Level 1 Jedi Guardian equipped with a 1-10 damage vibro cutter and nothing else. Why is my strength mod +3 in the damage breakdown and +2 in the attack breakdown?

Oh sorry. I was adding the respective attacking bonuses instead of the actual levels. Thanks a lot

Strength modifier is +4. Still doesn't add up to 15?

Thanks for replying. I understood the deflection mechanics from the feedback menu. I had a doubt regarding my DC using Improved Critical Strike. It says that the opponent will be stunned unless the roll is more than my character's level + strength modifier.My character is a level 3 jedi sentinel and a level 8 soldier, but my DC is 15 and I don't understand how it's 15?

Can someone please reply?

Just had a couple of basic questions about Kotor's combat system: 1. When a damage breakdown is given in the feedback menu, what accounts for the energy value? For eg. Damage breakdown: 8 = energy 6 + weapon specialization 2 2. How is the attack modifier calculated when using double bladed weapons or dual wielding? An example, perhaps? Thanks EDIT: 3. Is Critical Strike the only attack that can stun opponents (as opposed to Flurry and Power Attack)? 4. Can someone explain the blaster shot deflection/return mechanics please? Hello?

Did downgrading/uninstalling drivers solve the issue?

What does that even mean lol?

You can see my problem with your method in the following thread: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=27620

The method you mention has been tried by me but it didn't work for me. The problem is because of the crack. SecuROM7 detects that the swkotor2.exe file has been compromised and hence crashes the game when I attempt to load it or start a new game (although the main menu displays fine).

Awesome, I'll give this a shot. There aren't any HQ movies for KOTOR 1 right? Wish they'd release an HD version of this game...

Unfortunately, the widescreen patch you have provided works only with Steam versions of the game, and not the retail ones. Anyway, I do not require it since having Windows 8.1 alone is enough to play the game on widescreen. And regarding the HQ movies, do they still play at the 800 x 600 resolution or some other resolution?

Movies can be played only in windowed mode, not in full screen mode. Maybe this can be solved by downloading the HQ movie pack for KOTOR 2. Don't know how to solve movie crashes for KOTOR 1 though. Hopefully Xuul will be able to use this info for his patch and bring this feature for Win 7 & Win 8 users.

Yes, exactly - KOTOR 1 AND 2.

It's not exactly a Win 8.1 "issue" rather a solution/discovery. Players wanting to play in widescreen may upgrade to Win 8.1 (from Win 8) and won't require any patches/mods. Just wanted to share this with the community so that it can be replicated in Win 7 by modders

Will doing so help me see the movies? As of now I can see movies only if the game is running in windowed mode. Unable to see them in full screen. As for the resolution thingy- try running the game on Win 8.1 and it'll play on widescreen without any patches or hud fixes required. Even KOTOR 1 runs widescreen on Win 8.1 without any patches. Quite amazing lol

The game supports 1024 x 768 natively but I have 1366 x 768. And it was running on widescreen on its own with no issues. The dialogues were fine too. As for the movies, I think it's because of my video card's inabilities as I mentioned on my post above on 6th October. Can someone confirm this?

Okay I might've found something but need a second confirmation. I recently installed Windows 8.1 and for the first time installed KOTOR 2 today and found that it was widescreen by default. Yes, by default. The vanilla game patched to 1.0b - no mods, not even TSLRCM. I was able to commence the prologue without any crash/issues either. Can someone else confirm this for me or is this some Sith mind trick? Sadly, the movie issue remains unresolved and I have to play with "Disable Movies" on. Awaiting confirmation on the widescreen thingy.

I was just asking if there's a way to meet Loppak Slusk without accepting Luxa's deal of killing him in return for the Ebon Hawk. Just that it feels very un-Jedi like lol. And how do I free the Ithorian in the force cage in the Exchange's office? There's a security console in Loppak's office but I can't use it because it says he's standing there.

Another issue: Once Chodo Habat gives us the key to Apartment C1 (where Batono can be found), once we open the C1 door, there are no dialogue options pertaining to the quest. He just asks us why we opened his door and we can only say stuff like "I was looking around", etc. Once this conversation is over, we have to talk to him yet again only then will we have the dialogue option to ask whether or not he's Batono. Secondly, I wanted to ask if it's possible to meet Loppak Slusk without agreeing to kill him when we're trying to set up an appointment with Luxa?

Okay so I was doing the part on Peragus where you have to wear the space suit and make your way to the dormitories and although the Harbinger's arrival movie played, I cannot see the Harbinger docked once the game has resumed. I don't have any mods. Only TSLRCM and M4-78EP installed. EDIT: It might've been an animation issue. I got out of Peragus fine.

Okay so I spoke to Sith Holocron and here's what he had to say:

Naming it KOTOR 3 would imply that it followed the events of KOTOR 2. But I'd take an RPG that's based on the Mandalorian Wars or the Jedi Civil War, as long as it's KOTOR-esque lol

I think the movie crash is because I have an Intel HD 2000 chipset. I have the latest drivers and I tried moving both the logo movies from the Movies folder and the game reached the main menu fine. In the main menu, I clicked Movies and played the game trailer. The trailer played fine till the end but as soon as it ended, the game crashed. So there isn't a problem in playing the movies, it's just that when the movies finally end, they end with a BANG and crash the game. I also don't have any additional mods. The game is patched to the latest version and I have TSLRCM and M4-78EP installed too. I think I can come to terms with not playing the game at 1366 x 768 resolution but no movies? C'mon, there has got to be a fix surely? EDIT: The movies are playing fine in windowed mode, but windowed mode isn't fun... Does anyone know of a way to play this game in full screen mode without the videos causing it to crash?
