Ok, here is the deal. I just got this game and have been playing it and loving it. I just got my Jedi levels and step outside on Dantoine, or however you spell it, and my fps goes to the shitter. I mean I can't even move. I've patched up, put in a new driver and still nada. I've been running 1600x1200 with most everything turned all the way up to this point with no problems. Now after taking everything down to min I still can't even move. I looked on the KotOR boards and didn't see any special way to fix it. Is there some vulcan mind grib I can do to force the thing to work or what?

Dantooine is a performance assassin. There's nothing you can do but drop your settings and wait until you get off-world.

A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.
It's not something people hear about.

Try patching. When I first installed the game, once I got to Taris, the game became unplayable. The character would just warp around randomly, I had no control at all, my FPS was shit. I tried everything short of patching the game or reinstalling it. Finally, I decided to just run the patcher (I'm on dial-up, so patching a single-player game right away isn't the first thing I want to do). After that, it worked perfectly.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

It's no just poor performance. It is no performance. I can't even move. There is no way I can progress with this behavior.

I let it run the autopatcher thingy and I'm on ver 1.03.

You could try backing up your savegame and reinstalling.

You could try adding "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" under [Graphics Options] in the SWKOTOR.ini file if you haven't already done so. This solved the problem for me.

That fixed it perfectly. Thanks.

Oddly enough I never had a problem with Dant in KOTOR, but in KOTOR 2 I have to give my machine (which runs EQ2 flawlessly, which runs Doom 3 as if the angels of heaven were singing softly to it) a second, at which point I lagburst insanely, to catch up to itself. Then it's fine.

I would LOVE to know what it is about Dantooine that messes up the fps rate, and then mysteriously goes away, never to return until the next time I boot up the game.

Wasn't that what the French guys in the castle were calling Arthur and his bunch in "Holy Grail"?

Or maybe not.
