Crashing during Goto Nar Shadaa Intro scene

Recommended Posts

I'm crashing every time I try to go through the Nar Shadaa intro scene with Goto and the hunters. At first the crash occured as soon as the video of the outside of Goto's yacht ended. After I tried disabling shadows and frame buffer effects the scene began to go far enough that I can see Goto fly past the assembled hunters before it crashes. Switching from fullscreen to windowed had no effect. Threaded opt. is off.

 

1) During the game, when did the problem begin to occur?

 

start of Nar Shadaa intro scene

2) Did you install the latest version of the mod? (1.8.3b and 1.1b respectively)

 

RCM 1.83B and M4 1.1b

 

3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, GOG, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version?

 

4 cd us patched to 1.0b

4) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? (4-CD version ONLY)

 

yep

5) Did you install this over the previous version(s), or did you perform a fresh installation as required by the TSLRCM's read-me file?

 

fresh

 

6) What other mods have you installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (We don't actually know them all!.)

7) Can you be more specific about the error? At what point did it happen?

 

I'm crashing every time I try to go through the Nar Shadaa intro scene with Goto and the hunters. At first the crash occured as soon as the video of the outside of Goto's yacht ended. After I tried disabling shadows and frame buffer effects the scene began to go far enough that I can see Goto fly past the assembled hunters before it crashes. Switching from fullscreen to windowed had no effect. Threaded opt. is off.

11) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.)

 

Win 8.1

12) Can you confirm that you see the TSLRCM logo on the the main menu screen?

 

Yep

That's... a lot of mods. :/

 

Can't say for certain which did this (or a combo of several). Did you try searching for posts with similar issues and see some mods you all used?

 Yes. Yes it is.

 

I tried searching for mentions of Nar Shadaa problems. The few that sounded similar either didn't have solutions listed or were solved by changing affinity or process priority, which I either already did or the change had no effect. Or the threads suggested changing things like threaded opt.

GTX 670 with 353.06 drivers. I have the the vista fix dll.

 

 

 

ED - I found the problem. The game doesn't like goto .txi file. I've tried the goto reskins from TIP 0.4 and 90sk, game crashes any time I use the .txi from either mod. The crashing doesn't happen when the .txi is gone.

That's some pretty useful information to have, thanks... glad you fixed the issue and have fun with the rest of the game! :D

Same here, I have been looking for an answer to this for years... I couldn't figure out what was happening so I gave up and stopped playing, then later bought game from GOG and same thing.

 

Then I recently bought it from steam and problem went away. All that for 1 little file... Thankyou very much.

 

This should really be pinned somewhere, cuz surely there must be others with the same problem. Even when I had it I searched these forums and couldn't find an answer.

I'm also having this issue but I don't have a goto.txi file nor do  I have nearly as many mods as OP. Please help! Also I encountered a lot of hard crashes around Khoonda, specifically when talking to Akkere, repairing security droids for Khoonda, trying to seal door for Khoonda, when placing mines in the west field, and after Vrook teaches you Ataru. I was able to make it through by just reloading a lot and using quick saves but I have no idea what caused it all. Using 1.8.5 of TSLRCM

I just registered, after a long absence from everything KotoR and TSL, because I recently reinstalled it through steam, installed a bunch of mods, reshade and whatnot, to give it another spin.

 

Long story short: I ran into exactly the same problem and I think I found the solution and an explanation as to why this crash seems to appear mainly with the CD- and GoG-Version. There is a commonly known typo in the steam-version of the game which normaly prevents the crash from occuring, which is the absent spacing between words in the games .ini concerning the Vertex Buffer.

 

In the steam-version of the game this reads as "DisableVertexBufferObjects=1" and is corrected by most players who install a bunch of mods, as this line seems to generate bugs with textures - I would the reason for that imagine to be an address-overlap between the VBOs and the Textures of some sort, but what do i know.

 

However. If you own the steam-version and reinstate the line in the "swkotor2.ini" from your manually "corrected"

 

"Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" to

"DisableVertexBufferObjects=1"

 

it seems to be running fine again.

 

And I've just realized; the last post is nearly a year old - my apologies, but if anyone is still having the problem: this was a working solution (for me).

Thanks for the info. I recently reinstalled KotOR 2, just got the GOG version, and I was running into crashes during this cutscene again. It took me a while to figure out that it was still being caused by .TXIs as I avoided reskinning G0-T0 to prevent this problem from coming back.

 

I don't get why this fix works, but it apparently works for the GOG release too. I never spaced that line in the swkotor2.ini out so GOG must have "fixed" that line themselves.

Had a similar problem once, turned out to be the GOTO Droid texture I was using, so check that.

Going to Nar Shadaa and having this exact same issue. I don't know if anyone will see this but the DVBO thing doesn't work for me.

At most, I kinda figured that disabling Vsync and/or(?) Frame Buffer Effects at least let's me see Goto and company for 3 seconds before it crashes. And it's not even consistent.
I don't think it's Goto, because he loads just fine (also, no .txi file of him), but I guess the moment the camera is supposed to change towards something else (I haven't played in years, so I can't remember what happened there)

I'm going crazy trying to fix this... it's so annoying. Please, if anyone can help i'd really appreciate it

EDIT: Ok, in a bout of desperation, i just went and renamed the Override folder to see if it was something to do with mods. And it worked.
Then I went checking each mod's page to see which could it be messing with that scene AND FOUND IT

Ultimate Nar Shaddaa High Resolution - HD Upscale has a file named NAR_D_flr01.tpc that specifically messes with the yacht area.
It's being actively being looked at, so hopefully it will be fixed soon. For now, deleting that files fixes the problem (Though it seems like you still have to do the DVBO thing)

Game kept crashing in GOTO's ship in GOG version and the fix worked,

 reinstate the line in the "swkotor2.ini" from your manually "corrected"

 

"Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" to

"DisableVertexBufferObjects=1"

This is the second time this week I've heard of issues involving mods by that person. Curious.

Anyone know if this has been sorted in the five months that have passed? I'd love to install that mod, it's one of the best Nar Shaddaa graphical enhancements I've seen yet.
