On the downside, on my PC, KOTOR crashes about every 6th time I zone if I don't save, quit, restart, and reload.  Some graphics incompatibility issue.  Pathing also sucks when in crowded areas.


If you're running in on an ATI card make sure you have the Catalyst 4.12 drivers or higher. There was a compability error with Kotor that wasn't fixed until then because Bioware and ATI couldn't decide who's damn fault it was. Or somesuch.

Wiiiiii!

An even funnier thought....who should have had their way?  ATI because it's their technology (accompanied with inconsistent-quality drivers), or Bioware because they are the crown princes of PC RPG gaming?

So that's what it was.   So, there's a patch out for that now?

After a quick search is seems the way to get the best stability and performance out of Kotor on an ATI card is to run Catalyst 4.2 is you have one of their older cards, or 4.11 if you're on a x800.

Nah, I picked up the Xbox version of Kotor. Traded it in for the PC version when it came out.

I'll probably do the same thing with Kotor 2.

Wiiiiii!
