This beta patch has been made to address two specific issues: 1. Long pauses while playing with sound enabled using a motherboard with an Intel i845 or i850 chipset with 100mhz front side bus 2. Crashing at main menu (the one with new game, load game, options) with a Radeon 9600 First, download both of these files and put them directly into your KotOR directory (C:Program FilesLucasartsSWKotOR by default) Do NOT unzip the files. Click Here Click Here Then, either run swupdate.exe and click update, or use the update button on the launcher. This will update you to 1.01 In order to go back to the retail version of 1.00 simply run the updater again. You MUST revert back to 1.00 before you will be able to install the final version of the patch. Now, if you do not have a Radeon 9600, you may want to click configure from the launcher, and turn Hardware Mouse cursor back on. In order to fix the 9600 issue, hardware mouse cursor had to be turned off. Again, if you do not have a Radeon 9600, you can turn hardware mouse cursor back on. If you DO have a Radeon 9600, you must keep hardware mouse cursor off. The cursor will seem quite slow on the main menu, but will be fine (and not flickering) in game. You do not need to adjust the acceleration setting in the ATI control panel and can turn it back up if you had previously turned it down. Please use this thread to report your results. Any posts that are not related to these two specific issues will be removed from this thread. Since this is a BETA patch, you should only install it if you are having one of the two issues described.
