Game crash after entering Ebon Hawk on Dantooine

[mhroczyn 0]

Hi. I have quite a big problem. After going to Ebon Hawk (I'm currently on 3rd planet only Korriban left) on Dantooine my game crashes. I've already completed everything on Dantooine and I want to go to next planet. The first message from Kelborn plays but everything is correct it seems that after that scene another one want to take place but then the screen goes black and game crash.

 

I've tried previous save game (before I took Disciple with me) and everything is alright the crash is taking place only after picking Disciple up. It seems that the game wants to play some cutscene with him which is preventing me from going further with the story. I'm using TSLRCM 1.85 and M478EP 1.2.4.

 

Also, I've used the Handmaiden for Female / Disciple for Males mod (but when I've met the Handmaiden it didn't work).

 

The installer for this mod provides backup files for the ones that were replaced, so I've tried to restore them but it didn't help.

 

Also, I'm using quite a lot mods but those are only placed in override folder (when I remove that folder save works just fine but the game is still crashing).

 

Any idea what to do? Maybe it's possible to somehow skip that particular scene or edit some values in save editor so the game will think that this cutscene was already played?

To the moderators: Is there any way to make this Read Me First topic better visible in the TSLRCM section. Even knowing it's there I always have to search for it, so it's no wonder it's rarely seen by newcomers to this site. Changing that would hopefully reduce the frequency in which we have to tell people to post those answers.

...It's pinned at the top of every page in the TSLRCM section, 9th from the top. Granted, we can probably move Xuul's guide to the KotOR/TSL General Section, as well as the one about modders not accepting donations.

I know that it's pinned but with 11 pinned topics it's not really surprising that it gets lost in there. I was just wondering if it's somehow possible to make it more visible that doesn't involve unpinning these other topics.

10) Have you tried starting a new game?

Starting a new game after 30+ hours gameplay would be a torture to me:(

 

11) What Operating System do you use?

Windows 7

 

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

Yes

 

13) What language is your game set for?

English

 

14) Which language of TSLRCM are you using?

English

 

15) Are you playing this on a laptop or a desktop computer?

Desktop computer

 

Also in my override folder must be files which are preventing some of the cutscenes or dialog to trigger for e.g. when trial holocron started my character was just standing in place no dialog started, after freeing Jorran from Sublevel Enclave he respond to me as if he was still trapped inside the Enclave, dialog with master Vrook should start immediately after killing the mercenary in crystal cave but it doesn't, I can't talk with Vrook in Khoonda after freeing him, his dialog didn't started during battle for Khoonda, and I can't complete quest for mine placing before battle - ALL this issue dissapear when I remove override folder (briefly of course).

[Kexikus 995]

My guess would be that something went wrong during your mod installations as I can't see any obvious incompabilities.

 

To clarify some things:

You say that Handmaiden for Females / Disciple for Males doesn't work, so I assume you're playing a female character?

If so, then the problem is most likely that this mod not being properly installed is what's causing your crash. One possible explanation could be that the recruitment part doesn't work but now when you return to the Ebon Hawk, the game tries to play a cutscene with the Handmaiden since you have a female character with the mod (partially) installed, but with the Handmaiden not present, the game crashes. Although, it should usually shouldn't in that case... Weird.

 

You say that you had tons of other issues (which makes incorrect installations and/or incompabilites very, very likely) that disappear when removing the Override. That's not happening with your crash, right?

Could you try and remove 003ebo.mod from the Modules folder (keep a backup) and see if that fixes it?

Also, for the other issues, have you tried finding which file(s) is/are causing them? You could do so by removing only half of the Override, so you see which half it's in and then repeat until you find the cause.

 

And in your first post, you say that those other mods were simply placed in the Override, but on your list I see many mods that require TSLPatcher for installation. Did you just copy their files in the Override or was that just too vague a description in your first post?

[mhroczyn 0]

Yes I play a female character. Crash still appears after removing override. Removing file 003ebo.mod didn't change anything but I've done as you propose and it seems I've found a file which cause bugs, it was jorran.dlg - this file seems to change dialogs with this particular npc and I wasn't able to find others for e.g. Vrook dialog which is still bugged (maybe some files are packed together in one file). However I decided to load much earlier save (from what I hold off myself), went straight to Jedi Enclave, recruit Disciple and went back to Ebon Hawk and this time cutscene played properly. It seems that my latest saves were somehow corrupted, have no idea when or how that could happened.

About override question - I've just forgotten that some mods were installed via TSLPatcher, all have been installed correctly wihout errors.

[Kexikus 995]

Glad to hear that you got around this scene even though finding a cause would certainly be preferable.

 

Also good to hear that you found at least the cause of one issue. The others are probably files edited in .mod files (in the modules folder). You could of course try and find which .mod is causing the issue(s), but removing a .mod mid playthrough is usually a bad idea so I'd not recommend that.
