Game crashes after first level

[Soraza]

Just got the game today, I'm at where you get to the landing platform on Kamino (with Vader's TIE Fighter) and it transitions to loading screen, after that is crashes. I tried everything graphics related, lowest graphics settings, resolution, nothing seems to be working. Help anyone?

I had the same issue but have you tried disabling the steam overlay?

[Soraza]

I did try that, didn't fix my problem though

How mutch memory does you computer use while running the game?

The problem could be the cutscene. Luckily there's an easy way to get rid of cutscenes in the game. Follow this path in whichever drive you keep steamapps in:
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32. In the FMV, there are multiple files with "LEC" in the name. You can either delete these, or rename them so the game doesn't load them properly. This will remove all cutscenes from the game, but will avoid any cutscene related crashes.

I also tried that and the cutscenes did stop showing.

So I did this, which is also what the video earlier in this stream said, and it worked great. I had assumed that i wouldn't have the problem anymore, so i returned it back to normal, but it crashed again and doing the fix again helped. is there any way to get the game to work while also having the cutscenes?

No clue, but if your that dedicated to seeing the cutscenes, there are plenty of youtube videos with every cutscene in the game. I played through the game multiple times on the Wii so I've already seen each one. In fact, here's a link to one: https://youtu.be/--9LWQOk-KM
