Black screen on cinematics (while chatting with Kreia)

[Pierre]

Hello world,

I found a lot of topic about black screen, but apparently not like mine.
Here it is.
I just found the Ebon Hawk back after Telos. I want to know more about Kreai, discuss with her and have a cinematic, then a black screen.
I have tried (maybe not enought) to hit the Esc key ASAP (it already allowed me to pass another black screen on another cinematics).
I am still trying to find a solution, to no avail :/

First I must ask, are you using any mods? If so, how many, and which ones?

Are you on the ship while this happens? Have you left Telos?

Try leaving Telos and travel to what ever planet you feel like, after landing on the new planet, try talk to her again (On the ship) and see if everything works as it should (No more black screens).

I only use the TSLRCM in my language (French) and no other mod.
I am on Telos, I wanted to discuss wth everyone before I left.
I will probably block all cinematics...

Sorry for necroing an ancient thread, but did you find a solution?

Try leaving Telos and travelling to another planet. I'm not entirely sure but the issue may be caused by the game trying to load the wrong graphic. If you get a black screen when leaving Telos anyway then that is probably a specific and known issue you can search for.

go to game directory. Open SWKotor2.ini with note pad. Find :
[Display Options]
add line : Disable Movies=1 ( if it exists just change it from 0 to 1)
Disable Intro Movies=1

go down to:
[Graphics Options]
add or change to 1 DisableVertexBufferObjects=1

go down to :
[Game Options]
add line :
Disable Movies=1

dont forget to save changes

You can now play the game and watch the cutscenes from launch menu if its your first time playing or on youtube.
The game wont load / transition from cutscene resoultion to game engine resolution which should prevent the bug from happening.

Thanks for the help both!
In the end it turned out to be a mod issue: I modded the game outside steam with TSLRCM and more. What I didn't realize is that I had TSLRCM also enabled via Steam Workshop from my previous playthrough. Disabling workshop mods fixed this problem.
