LexxBludhart 0 Posted January 20, 2016 So I hear this is a very common issue, but I've never come across a solution. so I'm on the Unknown planet and ready to leave for the Star Forge, however, when I try traveling to the Star Forge via galaxy map, the cutscene for departure occurs, then I'm stuck on a black screen with only the cursor visable. Can't bring up menu, alt-tabbing doesn't work. what do???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fair Strides 510 Posted January 20, 2016 What mods do you have? And what have you done in your game? DS/LS? Male/Female? What was your decision at the top of the Temple? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LexxBludhart 0 Posted January 20, 2016 Mods, I have a ton installed, although I've heard this can happen even without mods. lightside, tried getting bastila to come back. Is there a list of known mods that can cause this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kexikus 995 Posted January 20, 2016 If there were, it'd probably be fixed in the mod But if you can provide a list of your mods, we could try to figure out which one might be messing with this part of the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malkior 476 Posted January 21, 2016 My first guess is Bastila's revelation robes, since bastila02 through bastila06 UTCs caused a similar blackscreen for me when used with K1R. If that mod adds them into the Override, then there's a possible culprit. A trick to see if that's the case was to save the game (hitting esc during the blackscreen then creating a save through the menu), quitting the game, and then loading that save. What I saw then was effectively a cuscene in progress with all of the characters frozen in place. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LexxBludhart 0 Posted January 21, 2016 I can't access the menu at all in the black screen. I can't do anything.ill try removing dmthe bastila revelation mod to see if that makes it work My first guess is Bastila's revelation robes, since bastila02 through bastila06 UTCs caused a similar blackscreen for me when used with K1R.

Thanks!!!!!I removes those bastila_02 through 06 and it worked!!Granted, I did remove all files from the revelation mod. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malkior 476 Posted January 21, 2016 Very glad to hear. I think it might be prudent to update the K1R compatibility thread of the fact that those specific UTC files are causing this problem. As stated in a different thread, those files are also present in WOTOR and need to be removed in order for it to work with K1R. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kexikus 995 Posted January 21, 2016 Is it known why these files cause crashes? Or what specific edits to them are responsible? And is that only an issue when using them with K1R or also in vanilla? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haveayap 127 Posted January 21, 2016 Well I use _04 and _06 and have not run into issues with my current K1 build, so I may suggest that it depends on what is edited Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoutception 17 Posted January 21, 2016 Is it known why these files cause crashes? Or what specific edits to them are responsible? And is that only an issue when using them with K1R or also in vanilla? I can confirm that it is also an issue in vanilla KOTOR. One of those files, 03 if I'm remembering correctly, can also cause Bastila to be invisible during the interrogation scene on the Leviathan. Other than that and the black screen issue, of course, they don't seem to cause that many issues with the game, so you can probably still keep them in the override folder until those issues happen. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TekerSmona 1 Posted September 11, 2019 Reaching across the sands of time on this old thread to let you know what my fix was. This will be easier than parsing out which mod file is causing the issue. I had to do it this way because I never used the Bastila's revelation robes mod so I'm not sure what the exact issue is. I cut the entire override folder from the game directory, moved it to desktop or trash. Then opened the game, unmodded, to get through the cut scenes and the first battle in the hangar. Then saved, closed the game, returned the override folder back to the game directory then loaded my save and everything worked perfectly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Groovydude 1 Posted July 27, 2020 2020 Check In - @TekerSmona's solution worked for me. I am running a boatload of mods and have used the save editor extensively (mostly to solve problems created by my mods), and it worked for me. Specifically, I cut the Override Folder out, Pasted it to my Desktop. Then I launched the game, and played without my mods until the first combat was over, then I saved the game and exited. Put the Override Folder back where it was, re-launched, and it works! 😃 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PoopaPapaPalpatine 21 Posted December 14, 2021 2021 check-in: I'm bumping this thread because I'm encountering this, too. I've yet to try the "Override cut" fix but I'm desperate to try something as this has been happening over several fresh installs.

Jabba1992 2 Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) I experienced this bug myself several months ago. From my testing, K1 Party Leveler (the file "p_bastilla002.utc" that it contains, to be exact) was the mod that was causing that black screen bug. I reported the bug to the mod author who promised to look into it. This was the text of my bug report: When I got to the Dodonna cutscene before Star Forge, I was greeted by an infamous "Cutstart Bug". The cutscene with Carth informing Vandar and Dodonna didn't start, there was just a black screen with a cursor. If I used keyboard shortcuts for Force Powers, I was spawned on Ebon Hawk with a hostile Carth and a friendly Dark Side Bastila on it. The bug only affected the Light Side Dodonna cutscene, if I sided with Bastila on the roof of the Rakatan temple, I could play without any issues. At first I thought that one of my other mods might be interfering with yours (my KOTOR 1 build is heavily modded), so I decided to test K1 Party Leveler on a clean install, with just the Community Patch and widescreen fixes. The bug still occured there. After some testing, I isolated its cause: it's the file p_bastilla002.utc. When I delete it from the Override folder, the cutscene plays, and if I put it back, it doesn't. Edited December 18, 2021 by Jabba1992 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
