Most bothersome were the undercity on Taris, all of Kashyyk, the dune sea on Tatooine, and the leviathan. When you go to the undercity however, the game will often continueally crash and you will not be able to get past it. Mannann- Save often, I had major crashing problems underwater.Leviathan- Save a lot. Kashyyk- Save often especially when on the forest floor and summoning the giant beast thing. I recently purchased it more mac and it has a lot of technical issues on Intel base macs. Try and load the other save folder(even though it will claim it is a different file then the one you are actually trying to load) and it should workDantooine- Make sure you have shadows and grass off, save often. I kept on loading and trying again and it eventually worked.
If the game randomly crashed in the undercity you won't be able to load a normal game. When changing into environmental suits my game crashed 7 times in a row. Tatooine- you have to move the save folders around to load in dune sea just like with undercity. I was able to play through the entire game (twice actually) on my Macbook 10.5.5.
Knights of the Old Republic, more commonly known as KOTOR is an excellent game. Aside from that the crashes weren't too much of a problem. The technical issues ruin parts of the game because of constant crashing that make it almost unplayable. Taris- Some random crashes on the whole planet, so just save often. Korriban- Not too many problems, save a lot. Not too many problems for me here.
To fix it turn your Anisotropic Graphic filtering in the settings to 16x and make sure the shadows and grass are turned off. For anyone who wants to try and bear through the frustrating parts of this game I've included how to got past each planet. You will have to go into the saved game folder and move all the files into a different saves folder. End game content- didn't have many problems If you have an Intel Mac you can patch it and play, but you'll be in for a rough experience.
However, and this may just be my ignorance talking, I am stunned a game that came out 4 1/2 years ago is selling for $40.00 "reduced". A fantastic RPG in every way that matters. This is truly a great game. And unlike most RPGs coming out at the moment, this game doesn't resort to FPS-like realtime combat. Mac users are clearly getting the shaft.
Although I remember this being a great game when I played it on my original xbox a couple of years ago, the game would not stop crashing on my perfectly fine computer. There was supposedly a patch released so that the game would run on intel-based macs, but this did not prevent the game from crashing. Worth buying only if you have a non-intel mac :-(
Although there was a patch released to supposedly get this game working on Intel macs, the game repeatedly crashed on my computer. I remember playing the game on xbox, and it is definitely worth playing if you have an older mac, but not if you have an intel based computer.
I purchased KOTOR as the first game to go along with my new Intel-based iMac. It looked like a great game. When contacted, Aspyr (the game maker) said that they were aware of the problem but would not provide any support, despite the fact that their own website has no mention of this incompatibility.It's too bad. However, neither the product packaging, the Aspyr website, or any other site selling this game mentioned that it is functionally incompatible with an Intel-based processor. As a result, it will lock up, suffer major graphics and gameplay issues, and be completely unplayable. Unfortunately, it's a complete waste of money for anyone with a new Mac.
