Dogmeat 0 Posted April 1, 2012 New guy and will prolly get flamed for being in the wrong place. Just looking to install the game once again after a very, very long break. What I would like is any patches/updates to improve the game over the last time I played it. Where might a noob like me find all that one would need to make the game more playable and fun/ Thanks in advance for any and all help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Extreme110 4 Posted April 1, 2012 Hey, dawg. Installation kind of depends on what OS you have, what hardware you have, and if any problems crop up when you test the game. I'm not an expert in TSL (I specialise in other games, like all the LEGO games, Halo, JPOG and so on), but this is my installation process to get the game working for a Windows XP Machine, using an ATi Raedon x1050/1200 (Legacy) graphics card. Install Omega ATi Drivers (custom ATi Drivers which are unsupported and cause my computer to crash a little more, but make TSL a hell of a lot more stable. I'd only recommend using them if using an older card and you've had absolutely no luck in fixing graphics issues in the game). Install Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Update DirectX if I haven't already. Run the game to see if I can at least get to the Prologue. Exit the game, then install the 1.0b English Patch (I assume that, despite buying a copy from Australia, it's an American copy, as I've had no issues using the patch before). Extract both the HQ Music and HQ Movie patches to my games directories (They aren't required, and a big downloads, but they improve the quality of the game a little bit. You have to actually copy all 6 HQ Movie .rar files, and both programs to the game directory and then run both the programs, then delete all .rar files and the two programs). Install the Vista Fix (For some reason, it makes my game crash less when I use it. I believe it relates to my crap audio drivers I can't update, thanks to OEM Dell Drivers). Run swconfig, test my hardware, and set the settings accordingly. Save and exit. Open up swkotor2.ini, and modify some of the properties. I'm not going to go into what I add, but I will say that one of the things is the Dantooine Lag Fix. Save and close. Run the game, and play through both Prologue and Peragus. The majority of my crashes always happen on these levels, and so they are important to test. Install the following mods (I have already tested compatibility will them all): Important Mods TSLRCM 1.7 1.7 Fix Harbinger Fix Sions Arrival Fix HQ Sound: TSL Ambience Improvement TSL Music Improvement Other Mods (Apart from the Jedi Temple, there is no *real* install order to these files): Darth Nihilus Animation Fix Peragus Tweak 1.2 The Sith Lords Full Force Mod Pack Movement Animation Fix for KOTOR and TSL (TSL Movement Animation Fix only) Insane Dustil Restoration Kill the Ithorian Remote Influence 90SK's G0-T0 Reskin Trayus Rank Reform 1.2 Sith Assassin Sabers My Dantooine Statue 0.9 Jedi Temple + Jedi Temple Expansion Visual Mods (I have placed all these files in the one folder, and have fixed any file conflicts between textures): Visual Enhancement 2012 Goto's Yacht Window Upgrade Fixed Mandalorian Banners REALISTIC NAR SHADDAA SKYBOX Vurt's Protocol Droids Coruscant High Resolution Textures Vurt's K1 Ebon Hawk Retexture Boa-dur Shader fix Textures of creature HQ Vurt's K2 Exterior Textures Ultimate Appearance Upgrade (Textures, models and .txi files only; Mandalore Mod not installed) Lightsaber Parts Icon Fix Weapon Finesse icon fix And that's it. From there, I have a ready copy of TSL. At times I might add or remove mods, but generally this is fine by me. Anyways, you don't need to do this. Simply install KOTORII: TSL and the 1.0b patch. Everything else is optional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
