Some Graphic Issues
Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2006 9:52 am
Sorry if this has been asked before.
I have some issues on my game that i would like to discuss to see if anyone has any solutions. First, let me give you a little history about my relationship with the game. I have played Kotor 1, i like it. I got kotor 2 last winter and played it on a friend's laptop. It is a professional laptop, not really for games, but it is a new laptop and had a video card i could use (my two comps didnt have good enough video cards to play it) I played through the game maybe 5 times, had lots of fun. The graphics seemed ok, not as good as some other games, so i was a little dissapointed. However stealthed characters were invisible when they were supposed to be, and when characters used shields, i could see the energy around their bodies.
Earlier this year i got a new comp. It is a P4, all brand new and has an even better video card than my friend's. It is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS i believe. Anyways i installed (what i believe is) the correct and most recent driver for the card and i can play kotor 2 on my own now. The problems are:
1. stealthed people, when they are supposed to go invisible, they just get yellowish lines like a shield instead of going invis.
2. shields, i can hear the shields being powered up but i cannot see images, its not so big a deal but those are minor things that can improve gameplay pretty well.
3. graphics are better in my game now (besides the ones mentioned in 1 and 2)
4. in addittion, i was wondering if anyone had any tips for improving gameplay and speed, maybe its the fact that this is the first time i have played this game on this computer before and its trying to peice together files and data, i dont know, but i have both decreased all graphic enhancements and increased them all the way and my gameplay doesnt run much smoother or faster, still laggy and slow.
thanks
