Game keeps crashing when loading onto datooine

[Epitome]

I have no idea how to fix this. Ive tried some things. No shadows, No Grass, low graphics, windowed mode. Im stumped. I have to restart in the Jedi temple and only then can I walk into the outside. After that its just a matter of time until I go into a load zone and crash again. Sometimes it will crash randomly. I actually cant progress forward anymore because of this. I've recently downloaded the Community patch mod, thinking it'd change something but it didn't. Like at all lol from what I've seen with my limited experience in the Jedi courtyards. Does anyone have any ideas for a fix? My specs are some random ryzen processor, maybe ryzen 5. And my card is AMD 6700 xt. HELP ME PLEASE I NEED TO PLAY THIS FKN GAME ITS SO GOOD

Search these discussions for "AMD fix"
It's possibly tied to that. You might consider setting your save aside (backup) and doing a complete wipe of the game from your system, restart, fresh install, change compatibility settings for the exe (see Guides) and then installing the community patch mod. However, I highly recommend getting it off of DeadlyStream Kotor mods and not using steam workshop. Manual install is probably more reliable. Then copy save back and test.... also applying whatever the AMD fix is.

Obviously not. The Community Patch fixes content in the game, not hardware/compatibility crashes.

I didn't really think or expect I would see anyone respond to their question after playing the game for awhile myself now but regardless I'm afraid I can't help you as the same-thing is happening to me where Kotor randomly crashes and I don't have the community Patch installed whatever bugs it fixes, I mean I'd probably just tell you to chick on graphics and in advance options while in-game turn frame buffer effects off and v-sync on but yeah sorry ever since Disney took over the franchise I am not sure if it's them that screwed up Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic or Microsoft with there dam consistence windows updates

Disney didn't 'change' anything about the KotOR games... no random updates from them. The games are what they've always been. Unfortunately, KotOR 1 was left with quite a few bugs that never got squashed by the original developers... probably to do with budget constraints. This is why modders developed the community patch... to fix remaining stuff. But, then there's newer issues / bugs that arise from modern hardware... which the game wasn't meant for use with. So, you have to do some limitations in several settings to avoid those problems. Most these things/settings are discussed in the 'Guides' section.

Actually Mardoin69 could you give me just one example of what the community patch fixes or adds if anything because I downloaded the file an attracted it to the override folder but I don't see any changes to the game like copilot indicate their would be unless there not on Taris or I misheard something incorrectly when communicating to her and it only as you put it quashed bugs?

Easy fix buddy. Turn off grass and leave resolution at default. Works for me everytime
