Is the latest patch worth it?

Post by Tarkus »

I played this game through three times using patch 1.01 and never experienced any serious problems. Of course the regeneration thing for crystals didn't work and there were a few small things but nothing that ever seemed significant to me. Now I'm playing it through one more time using patch 1.03 and I've experienced the following problems:

1. The Unknown World - When first leaving the Ebon Hawk and walking just a bit you're supposed to encounter a bunch of Rakata warriors. I never saw any of these, they've just disappeared. Then when I get to the One's camp they tell me I'm a great warrior for having defeated all their guys, but I never even saw them.

2. When waiting for several cutscenes I end up with a black screen for a significant amount of time, seems like up to 15 seconds or so. I eventually get what I'm supposed to get but the load times seem a lot longer than they used to be.

3. On several occassions the game has slowed down and when I leave I get a virtual memory problem and I have to reboot my computer.

The point is I had none of these problems before applying the latest patch. The Rakata warriors were always there, the load times were good, and there were no virtual memory problems. I don't know about you guys, but the game was more fun for me prior to this latest patch. Don't know whether the issues were created in 1.02 or 1.03 because I never played with 1.02, but I do know I have more problems now than I did prior to upgrading from 1.01.

Weird.
Maybe it's not the problem with the game, as well a problem with your drivers. (The latest patch expects you also have the latest drivers)

Try testing your setting, and updating drivers.
I do not have the touch, nor do I have the power.
