KOTOR problems
I am playing KOTOR for the first time, and have just gotten to Dantooine. However, whenever I enter the Matale grounds, the entire game starts glitching up. Whenever I try to move or turn, the game lags and then, seconds later, catapults my player halway across the map in a random direction. then, if I get near a wall, everything but camera freezes. If I teleport back to the ebon hawk, The jedi Enclave is fine, and the Gardens are only slightly laggy, but as soon as I enter Matale grounds, it all acts up again.

Re: KOTOR problems
Thats because KOTOR is the worst port job ever!
The possible solutions can be found in that thread, sorry I don't know which page or post. The first thing to try is turning grass off for that part of the game. The next is to not use the keyboard to navigate that part of the map, but to use the mouse to click on your destination instead, also switch lead characters as soon as somone goes jetting off toward a pack of Kath Hounds. When you switch, you will have complete control of the next character (temporarily).

Re: KOTOR problems
... No. I have different issues. First of all, I've already gotten past all of Taris without any problems. Second, I have a nVIDIA, not an ATI. I only have problems "so far" on the Mattel Grounds.

System specs, please.

Re: KOTOR problems
I thought they fixed that bug with a patch. Have you downloaded the latest one from Aspyr? If you are up to date, or if updating doesn't fix it, you can try turning off VBOs in the config file. http://www.maclife.com/forums/post/1039705#p1039705 Once you leave Dantoine, you will probably want to re-enable VBOs since it will run faster for the rest of the game.

Re: KOTOR problems
Well, the 1.03d patch doesn't even work. I think thats because I have a PowerPc, not intel. I'll check on that VBO thing and say how it goes. Sorry, I only got three pages into the thread and thought I had a different problem. Never reached page 14 where that was.
... THAT WORKED! Thanks, people. I apreciate the help.
