HELP [with Brotherhood of Shadows: Solomon's Revenge]

[Enkerx1 0]

I'm having my first full play-through of KOTOR and I'm playing with the Brotherhood of Shadows: Solomon's Revenge mod. (I've put it in SPOILERS for obvious reasons.)

 

 

I'm coming to the scene right after the Revan speech to the Jedi. I'm getting an instant crash right after this. I've reinstalled both 1.0 and 1.1 multiple times and it does not seem to fix this.

 

 

Is there anyone that could give me some advice? I'd really love to finish this play-through and I'm very new to modding at all.

 

Thanks in advance.

First, have you checked out this thread at LucasForums to see if your problem has been mentioned there? (Yes it's lengthy, but you're bound to discover other issues that might crop up too.)

Unfortunately I have not. I was unaware if this was a common problem that was known about. I guess I'll give that thread a look over. I hope its something a noob like myself can figure out. This game is fantastic.

If you do or don't find an answer, let us know!

More spoilers . . .

To specify, the crash happens after the Revan speech in Shadows flashback. Right after the duel with her, Shadow walks away, and my game seems to load and then crash.

 
Also, is Shadows flashback needed to further the game?

I read through the thread and did not find this specific issue addressed. At this point I'm just frustrated. Is Shadow's flashback essential to complete BOSSR? I'll pass on it if I'm not missing anything.

You are not required to talk to Shadow and play her segments, you can continue the mod without 'em, but it -might- cause some confusion in some way or another with the rest of the plot.

That's a major bummer. .

HELP!! my game crashes practicaly at the end of Solomons revenge (after Solomon revive Kobayashi then dies, next scene Shadow is standing with hands on her back.... after sentence "Are you enjoying a view?" game crashes everytime). cant believe that i have problem with crashing now at the end...

 

i have update 1.1 installed, but there is no mention of this possible bug.... how can i solve this issue? how to fix it? now i cant finish it and finally continue to travel to Unknown World.....

 

 

 

some views and opinions about solomons revenge.... i finished Kotor and Kotor 2 numerous of times (both light and dark path), but this mod i played for the first time.. have to admit that mod is really excellent except two annoying things:

 

 

- too much Twylek language... mean... after some time it becomes annoying, boring and funny to listen so much "shakapaka" word.. but this is not so problem as second issue...

 

- too many "dead, then alive, have to kill again... again dead, again alive, again kill..."... after finishing mod, it looks like that author used every possible combination of battling between characters... i could say that author of the mod went too far with that. have to admit that some parts are made very clever (big applause for that, especially "white void" part), but i think that at least 1/3 of battles (rather say combination of characters who are battling) are not necessary. during several last battles i have to admit that i get bored of everything, i mean... i just killed someone (or something) and have to do it again... and again... and again... like "shakapaka" issue but with big difference that several battles were not funny, but irritating... at some points, i remembered characters from horror movies where they are killed once, two, three... zilion times...(like Michael, Jason, Freddy, etc) and good guys have to do that again in a new sequel... so, near the end of playing this mod i found myself speaking into monitor "just drop dead" because i wanted to finish this mess finally and continue with regular Kotor story...

 

generaly about scenario... BOS quest is relatively ok (one or two battles should be kicked out), but solomons revenge has too much conversations (and battles) around same issues (about Shadow, Revan, Solomon...) and worst of all, they are in fact continued battling with BoS (Solomon is only a tool through BoS is active again). i could say that story is generaly ok, but a little bit too streched (just like "combinations" of battles)....

 

on the top of that, several battles are too difficult and they depend too much on opponent AI (their stupidity)... for example, last tough battle where all characters from regular party + mod party are all against Revan and they are used as new energy (life) for main opponent. fortunately, there are several areas on this level to run and room to quickly hide and pray that they come on Revan one by one... its simply impossible to pass this battle if rushing on all of them despite of all upgrades...

 

upgrades... eh, yes... i noticed that sometimes upgrades are still active after loading new area, sometimes not... bad thing is that this happen mostly when next battle is tough and enemies are right too close to the playable character... every new loading playable character get damage even before automatic pause and this can be very frustrating. without running all over the place and lot of injections/life packs/melee&energy shields/force speed, it is really difficult to win. 

 

btw... we can conclude that Revan is constantly on drugs in Kotor.. especially if playing BOS mod, haha... when the quest is over, Revan should rehabilitate himself of so much adrenaline in his blood

 

all in all... think that plot went too much outside of star wars universe... mean, all these unnatural issues about BOS, ancient artifact, ancient temple, unnatural things... it more looks like that it is from star trek universe, not star wars. on the top of that, Revan and party members are in hurry to save Bastilla, find out what is Star Forge anyway (and destroy it of course), and to stop Malaak... playing BOS seems too long without almost any comments about their main goal, so this is maybe main minus to play mod anyway.. at least i felt like that after finishing it...
