My KotOR (1 not 2) crahses to desktop on the first mision, very frustrating. It's like 5 minutes in to the game and I can't avoid the part, it's when you get the frag grenade for the first time basically...
I noticed that if you set the CPU affinity to 1 core the game doesn't crash as much. I tried this on a dual core and a quad-core pc and it worked both times.
I started getting a crash on Manaan on the sea floor in a very specific place and I also had a problem with all of the Battlefield games so I knew something was up. I figured out that it was because I had recently updated my Nvidia graphics driver, which I hadn't done in over a year. So I kept trying older and older drivers and none of them from the Nvidia site fixed the problem, but they only go back a few months. I finally found some WAY older drivers on guru3d.com (probably from around the time I last updated), and... Success! It works great and so do all the Battlefield games. So if you have a quirky system like mine, the solution might not be the "update your drivers" that everyone always defaults to, but try an older driver. Since KotOR is an older game, it might not like these newfangled drivers in the case of some systems. That's my guess anyway. Granted, you might then have problems with much newer games, but it's worth playing around with. -Rog
