Problem recruiting Jolee. Please help.

[McDouggal]

This is preventing completion of the game.

Details:

Problem is that it will finish the initial meeting, he'll tell me to follow him to his shack. I will follow him (doing nothing else, I don't loot the stuff just yet), and once he stops, I'll click on him to initiate conversation.

But it just seems to pop back to the "meet Jolee" cutscene thing, except there are no monsters where he was. It just sticks there until I alt-f4 out of the game.

This has happened when I go to Kashyyyk first or third.

Tried. Doesn't work; it actually completely ♥♥♥♥♥ the game too. No longer have any companions.

[Shedi78]

have yyou tried reloading earlier save files?

[McDouggal]

Tried it, same thing happens.

[Shedi78]

after the intial try talking to the czerka officers maybe thatll work

[Bravitt]

I had this problem too. The kotor restoration mod and the quanon's lightsaber pack share kas24_jolee_01.dlg which seems to causing the problem. I fixed it by deleting that file and loading before the scene with Jolee fighting

Was this ever a confirmed fix for this K1R/mod conflict? Because for me the conversation (after killing the kinrath) to follow him back to his hut never initiates! Is Jolee supposed to reinitiate the conversation automatically after the battle? Or does he wait until you interact with him again? Because when I try to interact with him, the camera cuts back to where he fought the katarns and the game gets stuck in the same place/cutscene the OP described.

I know this is kind of an old thread, but any advice on this issue would be *VERY* appreciated!

[McDouggal]

Unfortunately, no, and it's very unlikely one will come out. Two mods conflicting, especially when the game itself is old, are unlikely to be fixed.

I deleted the file and after the talk once he kills the hound thingys kinrath come out and it i can talk to him now and it works fine so it seems it is a fix well at least for Bravitt and me.

[Rilith the Rogue]

The fix I discovered only applies if you have the Restored Content mod (k1r)

For this sorta fix to work, I believe that the save must be before you go to the forest floor. I'm not sure on that 100% though.

If you have The Kotor Restored Content Mod 1.2 (K1R) installed and all that jazz, navigate to your module folder in the swkotor game file
(Steam, steamapps, common, swkotor, modules)
Find the file titled: kas_m24aa.mod and cut it from the directory, and paste it somewhere else (I put it in the desktop). It should be a movie file. Do not cut the other files that are similarly titled, as you will get an infinite loading screen when trying to go down to kashyyk's forest floor. It should restore the original scene, allowing you to recruit him without issue.
After recruiting him, I pasted the file back to it's original location back though, with no issue, as I don't know if other files become dependent on it.

Worked for me. Good Luck!

i've done that and jolee goes back to his hut skipping the kinrath encounter, but when i follow him and try to talk to him, he doesn't do anything, and i can't open anything or talk to anyone and i don't do any damage to dire beasts even if i hit them

For those who are 2 years in the future from this issue. Do the save editor where you skip the cutscene as well as rerun the K1R mod. It fixed it for my game to where Bindo will talk to me again. I never thought I would miss this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'s voice until it broke everything in my life 10 hours into gameplay...
