yeah I think I did manage to come by an 'new old stock' copy from the UK. I am going to try the 1.0a patch and the 1.0b patch. I will be sure to let everyone know if this fixes the issue. Thanks again for the suggestions and advice.

Darn I thought that may have been the issue. Is there no way of fixing my save file? The 1.0b patch will not run on my copy. I have a four disc set O bought online a few months ago and it appears to already be 1.0b. When I runt he official 1.0b patch that I downloaded it gives me an error saying that the game files don't need to be changed, or something like that, I have an opportunity to try it again because I am re-installing again as we speak. Have you ever heard of this happening? do you know what version the updater reports when 1.0b is applied? is it 2.00.420? Are there some flags I can set to un-bugger my game? I did not load the 1.0c until the swoop races on Telos and then I played through Nar Shaddar that way. Thank you for your assistance, even though I am greatly saddened by the answer if I have to start over. Edit: I think I managed to partly answer my own question. The version that the official patch apparently is supposed to patch is 424 to 427. I have version 420. Does anyone know how I can get my game up to 424 so that the patch will work? or even better any one know how I can go from version 420 to 427? again I thank you in advance for your time and attention. Edit 2: I just noticed my disks say UK in the ring. Are they potentially a UK version? Damn it all to hell. Redacted I was able to download both UK patches.

This may have been mentioned in the 32 pages of this thread but after reading though 12 of them I did not encounter it so here goes. My pc is a dual core intel and my graphics card is a Geforce 7800 GTX 256MB. I started playing with TSLRCM 1.7 and on Telos I was not able to swoop race because I always appeared on top of the track. I googled and found a patch called 1.0c and installed that. All my swoop related issues were resolved. Played the game for a while longer with no issues. Got to Atris' hidout and did everything there. Then when I tried to board the EH to go to another planet, the game would try to go to a cut scene but the handmaidens would never appear and it would hang for ever. I did a removal and a clean install. this time I installed the 1.0c first and then the TSLRCM 1.7. Everything seemed resolved. I played through Nar Shaddar no issues. Then as soon as the cut scenes end and Goto's questioning would begin, crash. No joy just windows error. I read a bit about it. Found a spot in one of the threads on this forum that you can rename or remove the files in the override folder to fix the Goto Yacht issues. So I did that. Things went well I made it thought the cut scenes and then set the files back in place. Sure enough the game crashed. So I renamed the folder again and played through Goto's yacht. Get back to Nar Shaddar and fight my way back to the EH. all goes well until I board. Then the hard crash, again. I rename the folder, run around a bit and do all kinds of talking to my friends and then try to go to Telos. I get to Telos, crash. Mind you the Override folder is still out of play at this point. I rename it to make it proper and include the files. I get through the next cut scene and then back on the EH, crash. I uninstalled the game again. I deleted all the crap in the folder. I re-installed without the 1.0c patch assuming it was the issue. No joy. It would appear that with my setup the EH and all other space ships are bugged for some reason. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? it is maddening because I can play large swaths of the game and then bam, just when I am having tons of fun, it is not playable anymore. Can anyone suggest a fix for my video card or something? I am assuming at this point my save is bugged or my card is somehow messing this up. Thanks in advance for any time and attention this will get. cheers. Edit: I was wrong after taking a closer look someone on page 5 had the exact same issues I was having. I am a LS Male and I had the same exact symptoms of Telos. No handmaidens except the one and I could not board the EH. As I mentioned above though I uninstalled and re-installed and that fixed that particular issue where I could not get off the planet. I did not know there was supposed to be more than one handmaiden. Also I forgot to mention some other things that I see have helped others get answers: the game version I am using is 2.00.420 English. I have not installed the 1.7 fix but I intend to shortly. I have tried 800x 600 and 1024 x 768 at all texture quality settings and I have also tried disabling movies.
