Fair Strides 509 Posted August 9, 2015 I have an NVidia GeForce 9400 GT graphics card with version 9.18.13.4144 drivers. Yet, when I run the Scan Hardware thing: Should I install earlier drivers, and if so, do you guys have any ideas on which versions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthParametric 3,783 Posted August 9, 2015 Even though your card is ancient (from 2008 or so?), it's still a lot newer than what KOTOR was designed for. The hardware scan is pointless because it doesn't recognise anything beyond circa 2004/2005. If I run it here it tells me my OS (Win7) and graphics card (760) fail as well, yet both games run. If you are having issues running the game, I doubt it's the card. If anything that would probably run it better than a newer card. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fair Strides 509 Posted August 9, 2015 The part that I'm concerned about is the NVidia Detonators thing, as my computer will always crash right after Jolee finishes his fight with the Katarns, and I have a theory from a test that this will also occur in the bos_tem5 module in BoS:SR... Turned Graphics settings on everything to Low, have not messed with affinity or NVidia settings yet, though. Oh, and Dantooine seems normal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthParametric 3,783 Posted August 9, 2015 What version of the game is it? The CD version of K1 crashed constantly for me last time I tried it. Could barely get out of the starting room on the Endar Spire. I grabbed the GOG version and that seems a bit more stable, although I haven't had a chance to test it extensively as yet.

Kexikus 995 Posted August 9, 2015 I guess you tried disabling Vertex Buffer Objects? That fixed a few similar crashes for me last time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the Steam version but haven't tried it yet... I guess you tried disabling Vertex Buffer Objects? That fixed a few similar crashes for me last time. Yeah...

VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted August 9, 2015 The original 4 CD version is terrible. It never ran on my computer, though at the time that computer was pretty terrible too. I'd try the Steam Version and see if that gets you anywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fair Strides 509 Posted August 9, 2015 Still crashed, on a vanilla game... Card, or do you think I should mess with NVidia settings? It crashes right as Jolee is saying the first line after you see him kill the Katarns... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used those settings, and have had few crashes and no more graphical anomalies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
