OMGitsJoemo123 3 Posted February 13 Hello all! First time making a post here, I have a weird bug I was hoping someone could help me pinpoint down. I'm sure its some mod incompatibility but basically, no matter what planet, whenever I try to swoop race, I just get a black screen. I start the dialogue, say I want to race and instead of the loading screen and then the swoop race, it just goes to black screen. I can still hear the general ambience of the level and my cursor is still there but thats it. No my mod build is pretty much the full Kotor 2 mod build, apart from some specific mods on there that I don't use. I also have a few mods not from that mod build, such as the new 4x upscale character models, the kotor 1 heads port, and the 4x upscale world texture mod thats pretty much it. I don't have anything that touches swoop racing so I'm not sure whats causing it. Can anyone help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A - What version of the game do you have? (Steam, GOG, 4CD version, or the KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version? B - What other mods have you installed? Please give an accurate and complete list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (Even staff members don't actually know them all.) C - Which mods from the KOTOR2 Mod Build did you not use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snigaroo 135 Posted February 13 If you're using 4x world textures, it's possible that the textures are large enough that they're causing spot save corruption in the module. That's really uncommon, I should stress that, but it's not impossible--there's a reason the builds refrain from using any of the very large texture sizes, because the engine can't really profitably render them in the first place due to most models' poly counts, but you also run the very serious risk of your game just breaking as a result of trying. With that said, however, I sort of suspect that isn't the actual problem here. Swoop races in particular are very buggy on modern game versions as compared to older hardware setups. Can you see if the issue still persists with the game's executable set to compatibility for XP SP 3? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like the 4x upscale world textures bug I'll try removing them and see if that fixes it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay so I did a clean install of all my mods apart from the 4x upscale texture world mod and it works now. I don't know if that was the cause or it was just another mod which installed incorrectly but yeah. Thanks for the advice though guys 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
