Hi all, I recently bought KOTOR 2 on a bargain, as I never played it at release, and the current issue is that the game simply does not start - it immediately goes to the "Has encountered a problem....." standard window.

The related issue is that the hardware scanner says my drivers are out of date, which is absolutely not true, but I am to understand that the results of the scan don't affect gameplay anyway?

Anyway, the information I have is as follows:

1. My laptop is an Acer 6930g, running Vista-32, and it far exceeds the minimum system requirements. This is not an issue at all.

2. I had some problems with locked files during installation, asking me to "postpone", "skip" or "try again" - these files that were locked were game files, so the installer appeared to be locking its own files :s

3. I cant patch the game as it says that the "autopatch.txt" file is missing, for some unknown reason.

So i suspect 2 and 3 may well be the issue here, any help?

Whilst the above suggestions are good, I dont quite get what you're getting at here - most games can be set-up with keyboard AND mouse however you prefer :s

That patch also only fixes the known issue of resetting AI after loading a save, which has nothing to do with my problem unfortunately :(

Steam would have downloaded it with that patch though would it not?

Hi all,

Ive just purchased thief 3 off of Steam, and the game plays fine until the third mission, when i steal the Holy Symbol/Cat o Nine Tails from Grietus. After this point, the game immediately crashes upon trying to save with the standard "has encountered a problem and needs to close error".

Anyone know a fix/way around this?

Also, Blizzard keeps saying their next MMO is totally different from WoW and won't compete with it. Makes me almost think they might be trying an MMOFPS game.

Well in which case the MMOFPS makers may just have to quit before they start ;) We'll see.

Anyway, a live, persistent Quake Wars or something may be great.

Yeah sure it'll be the new WoW - in the same way that Age of Conan and Warhammer Online were also the new WoW.:roll:

Seeing as this is a bit of a poor summer for gaming, and I dont feel like levelling my 10 million WoW alts, I thought Id play catch-up with a few older titles I hadnt tried before, and got Thief 3 off of Steam.

However, Ive made it to the Hammerites church level in the city (mission 3 I think it is), but now every time I try to save (quicksave or otherwise) the game crashes for no reason.

Im running an Acer 6930G Laptop with Windows Vista - Im assuming this could be a vista problem? I got both Deus Ex games around the same time and have had no problem with them =/

I don't know if casual is quite the right word...it has certainly become more 'accessible' though, with Lich King, and especially since pre-TBC (it seriously needed to move away from that attunement stuff). Its still time consuming if you want to get the most out of it though.
