Star Wars NOTOR Freezing

THExBOY

A few weeks ago I was watching Star Wars (4-6 The good ones) and it got me remembering Star Wars Nights of the Old Republic and how much I loved it. My brother has the game and is now many states away so I had to go out and get a pre-owend version. Played it on my 360 and got about 30 hours in and it started to freeze up on me in the same place. Brought the game back to get another copy thinking it was the game. Only to find the same thing happening. Then I thought it might be the XBox so I tried it out on my friends and still craped out.
Any one out there know what I can do?
I don't want to start over and I want to finish it so I can move on to KotOR II.

any help would be appreciated

It's probably a known issue with the 360's backwards compatibility, and there's not a lot you can do, other than waiting for a new back compat patch.

You might want to post on the official Xbox forums, as they have a specific forum for this game. Be aware that you won't be able to log on or post until Live maintenance is completed in a few hours, though.

Is it really scratched up? If so, you might want to give these a quick look. Bear in mind that I haven't tried any of these personally so I can't attest to their effectiveness. This was simply what came to mind while reading about your situation.

Also, be warned that playing KOTOR II is a very mixed experience. The gameplay mechanics are improved, and the storyline has a lot of promise, but it is definitely an unfinished product. The last 1/3 of the game craps out and has no resolution to the story. There is some small hope for the PC version (mod team slowly working to tie together loose ends and revive cut content), but the console version is just screwed.

As for KOTOR 2 PC, keep an eye on team-gizka.org. That's the group that's working on restoring much of the cut content. There's already a mod out there that adds a droid planet (apparently this was also cut from the original game. The Team Gizka guys are working off information that was found on the game disc and are fleshing it out, while the droid planet was just an idea on a design doc).

For your problems with KOTOR on the 360, did you have jittery sound too? I'm playing it as well, and I'm getting that problem. I did some research online myself, and apparently some people get sound problems, some people get graphical problems, and some people get lockups. I haven't seen anything that could explain why some people get some problems and not the others. It's an emulation problem, and I doubt it'll ever be addressed.
