Black screen after the "Dark Side" cutscene

[Semaphor 0]

After the Red Eclipse on board the Ebon Hawk fight I decided to make the slaver boss swear obedience.

A short video follows, then an ingame cutscene (Sith Lord + apprentice). It seems they triggered by me finally reaching enough dark side points as it doesn't happen when I kill the boss.

 

Once this is done, the screen stays black and doesn't react to anything besides Alt+F4 (showing the normal "you'll lose your unsaved progress" popup where I can click OK or Cancel)

 

I tried googling, but I don't really know what to search for and referencing black screen mostly brings up the old bugs (1.7 I think).

 

I have 1.8.3b fresh installation, game is the Steam version, Windows 8.1

 

Any help would be appreciated

Here's a list of questions you're supposed to answer when reporting a bug with TSLRCM

 

1) During the game, when did the problem begin to occur?
2) Did you install the latest version of the mod? (1.8.3b and 1.1b respectively)
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) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? (4-CD version ONLY)
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?
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?
8) Have you tried re-downloading/re-installing the mod?
9) Have you tried using a different save game?
10) Have you tried starting a new game?
11) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.)
12) Can you confirm that you see the TSLRCM logo on the the main menu screen?

Try playing the dialogue differently. My guess is that at this time of the game after this scene you are supposed to trigger another cutscene inside the ebon hawk however you spawn in different location after the battle with the red eclipse so you should try avoiding gaining the darkside points in this battle and later on nar shaddaa gain others so you have the 75% darkside points and trigger the sith lord and apprentice cutscene after which you are supposed to go to the ebon hawk.

 

I think it isnt a mod conflict or something like that, just bad game developing, as i think such error would trigger  in vanilla game as well

Thank you, that helped me

Yeah, it's a known issue... if you trigger the Visas at that specific moment it doesn't properly return you to 003EBO from 004EBO. Along fixes you can simply warp to 003EBO without any resulting problems when the scene is over.

 

EDIT:

Having said that, do you still have that savegame? Gonna try some things on it then, but I rather not release stuff I can't test to work properly.
