SPOILERS AHEAD


I just managed to kill everyone on the academy and am going to leave the academy when suddenly the game hangs up. After it passes the 30% or so loading mark the main menu music starts playing, I get the mouse icon back and nothing happens. Anything I can do to fix this?

How much space do you have left on your hard drive?

Around 17 gigs on that particular partition.

WTF? upon checking the save with KSE, I noticed Zaalbar had been replaced with a BAD_STRREF tag, and I can't alter it back to normal. Does this mean I have to start all over? God damn it

Please edit previous posts when you do relatively quick followups. Prevents being accused of bumping your thread, which is kinda frowned upon, here.

Okay, it's not the hard drive, since you say you have 17 GB free. How much RAM have you got? And is anything like a viruschecker running in the background?

This happened to me twice before. The most you can do is to quit the game and start it back up again. It worked for me.

Yeah I've got AVG running in the background, and I'm running the game on Windows XP with 1 gig RAM. Like I said, looking at the saves in KSE, Zaalbar's simply gone from my game and I can't get him back in any way I know. Maybe I could send the two saves to one of you, and you could check it out, if you're ok with that :| I was already done with the third Star Map god damn it!

I couldn't help you with any saved game files. I'm only trying to cover the simple stuff, to (hopefully) get it out of the way--the kind of things that could cause this problem.

I can't see AVG causing this, but try unloading (not uninstalling!) it. Try to give yourself as much RAM as possible, before loading. See if that helps.

If it doesn't, I'll move this over to the tech forum. Perhaps someone over there will have an idea.

I tried but it's simply the Save Game files (BOTH OF THEM!!! ) that got corrupted, though it seems only that portion, Zaalbar, got destroyed. Maybe it could be fixed but I don't know how, and I don't feel like starting over!

Okay: if you know it's the saved game files, but aren't sure why it happened, and don't know how to fix it, I'm giong to move this over to the Tech Forum. Barring any help there, your next move would be to post over in LucasArts' forums. Good luck!
