I got this game but apparently my graphics card is to good for the game and won't run it :(

 
Mon, 10/05/2009 - 01:03

Maybe check that you have the latest drivers, cause i have a Gigabyte GeForce GTX260, only a 2 month old card, and it runs fine on mine...

Sat, 10/03/2009 - 10:10

nice offer but i have the two for the pc back when they 1st came out 1st one was grate but its a shame the 2nd one was not finshed the way they wanted to finshe it

Fri, 10/02/2009 - 21:09

Does it work ok with Windows 7?

Thu, 10/01/2009 - 16:39

Hmm,nice thing to know,I got both of the on PC but for those that never played the games but were attracted by The Old Republic,this is a good chance for them to but them and learn the story before The Old Republic...

Nice Bioware! Good luck ^_^

I would have gotten this if i didn't already have the first 2 for my xbox!

Thu, 10/01/2009 - 13:09

Nice, but I already have an original xbox copy, a downloaded xbox 360 version, and a PC version of the game. It was a great game, and I hope a lot of elements for this game are taken from KOTOR.

Thu, 10/01/2009 - 12:54

If anyone gets this thing to download, PLEASE tell me what you did and how you got it to download. I've been trying to download it since they gave out the coupons and nothing is working.

Thu, 10/01/2009 - 10:24

Shwing !!!! giggles

They are both excellent games. i still have my old version of KoTOR that i purchsed by retail. i still play it from time to time.

Wed, 09/30/2009 - 18:16

KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are amazing games. I highly suggest getting these and playing through especially those new to The Old Republic series. I really enjoyed the customization, character and story lines, and just had a blast finding what happens in the end.

Wed, 09/30/2009 - 17:08

KOTOR was the greates SW game ever, just so freaking amazing ! Loved it! xD
KOTOR 2 wasnt that good because everytime Bioware ran out of money and needed voice for a character they just put in a wookie who could say : Whraaggg (again and again)
Also the store in KOTOR 2 wasnt the best and I think it felt like the game wasnt done :)
SWG was also a very very good game, hehe :D
May the force be with you

Mon, 09/28/2009 - 06:09

Sun, 09/27/2009 - 06:19

uhh im having lots of troubles trying to get this to work. Got it dled and installed, created my char, went start game and when its loading the program stops working. So i dled the latest patch thinking that would work but now its says i have to insert a disc or i cant play. Im so confused if anyone knows how to help me i would greatly appreciate it.

Sun, 09/27/2009 - 05:22

Damn, I missed this offer by one day, hopefully there's another one like it, although if there's a positive to missing the coupon offer, it's that I can download the game off of Steam rather then D2D.

Sun, 09/27/2009 - 04:51

so Im DLing KOTOR atm and i went to register it on there site. It says that i need a upc code and i did not get a upc code when i bought it only an activation code. I tried the activation code in the spot but it didn't work. So im wondering if it matters if you have a upc code to register for the game.

Sat, 09/26/2009 - 21:34

i really neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddd to play this game!!!!

Sat, 09/26/2009 - 16:02

RAWR!

I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A TOR NEWSLETTER EVER! THIS TIME, TO MAKE SURE I RECEIVED THE COUPON, I PUT THE TOR E-MAIL IN MY CONTACTS! BUT I STILL DID NOT GET THE COUPON! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS! I MEAN REALLY, C' MON BIOWARE!

ANY HELP?!

Fri, 09/25/2009 - 03:12

KOTOR was pretty good. KOTOR 2 was not too bad. But I've been playing them both over the past few years every time I get bored with other MMOs. Its been that way since I was self-exiled from SWG (of course we don't want to beat that dead horse, now do we?) Anyways, I feel the sentiments of the other SW veterans and don't feel the KOTOR coupon was a boost. We need more content, more videos or even BETA. I put in a request in 2007 to get on the beta, still haven't had a response. =(

 
Sat, 09/26/2009 - 16:09

I gave my KOTOR game disc to 3 friends already and they loved it. I loved it to, but KOTOR 2 wasn't so good because it was a rushed production, i prefere the star wars shooter games. But, RPG's have a better storylineI wonder how good this online game will be...

 
Fri, 09/25/2009 - 16:07

Whoah....how did you apply for Beta already? I wanna sign up! I just hope I get picked.....or at least a response telling I'm gonna get picked soon, lol. I really hope I get accepted for beta......hopefully Beta Testers get a reward, like in other MMO's

Thu, 09/24/2009 - 20:43

Kotor is a great game, probably the best game EVER PERIOD!!! I love the Puzzles are a challenge, but there are always ways to solve them! JEDI RULE!!!!!!!! I BUILD MY FIRST LIGHTSABER AND IT'S BLUE AND IT'S AWESOME!!!! SOrry, I'm just so pumped, I gotta finish playing it!

Wed, 09/23/2009 - 22:39

Hey everyone i was just wondering if KOTOR works for vista, and if it does what i gotta do to get it to work. Just wanna know if it works b4 i spend money then cant play it.

 
Thu, 09/24/2009 - 17:39

don't worry xD

KOTOR SHOULD WORK ;]

Wed, 09/23/2009 - 21:04

Hey everyone, i just fineshed both KOTOR's for the 1st time :D yay!, absolotly LOVED KOTOR 1, however gota say i was disapointed with 2, im not saying it wasnt a grate game, it was, but was there just a huge chunks missing or something, and why was the ending rushed so much, have to say it felt like a much smaller game than it should have compaired to 1. anyone tell me what happened there? x

 
Sat, 09/26/2009 - 02:26

Oops that was meant for the comment above this one.

 
Sat, 09/26/2009 - 02:25

Doesn't work for me even with the fixes. Only thing I have not tried is deleting the registry entries and reinstalling completely.

 
Thu, 09/24/2009 - 07:50

this is for KOTOR 2. just so you know. maybe it would be a good idea to try it again once the restoration project is finished.

 
Thu, 09/24/2009 - 07:44

their is a restoration project currently in progress to restore some data that is in the game but was bypassed to bring the game out quicker. it has been going for a good 5 years now, and hopefully it will be completed soon. it will open the game up to missions that were not completed and other things too. if you wish for the website address, send me a message and i will link it to you

I receive the mail and I try every one day to download the game but in Direct2Drive.com say that this product is not available, and than redirect me to the homepage. When I try to search for star wars games in this site i find only KOTOR. I am from Europe. What's the problem? Please help!

Wed, 09/23/2009 - 18:14

Tue, 09/22/2009 - 22:59

Good point.

Tue, 09/22/2009 - 02:07

downloading the game now!!! but dang, 3 gb!!!

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 19:54

Shoot did i miss the deadline to get the 25% off? :(

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 17:58

Can this code be used for downloading of Europe edition, sice it is separate pages on the site?

 
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 02:08

you put the code before you enter your credit card, I think. I',m downloading it now, but I've had a lot happen today.

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 16:04

So it's great that the discount was issued, well at least for everyone that can actually use it. How great is it though? Ya sure KOTOR is one hell of a game, but it is slightly dated, meaning that most people that have been following the buzz of TOR's upcoming release already own it. Personally I've played the hell out of my copy, just as most who own it have. In the end, I don't feel that the discount was a thank you at all, rather it has helped to promote future sales of TOR and continuing sales of KOTOR. Which I have nothing against, it's good business strategy, just don't feed "us" a line. We already are salivating for TOR.

 
Fri, 09/25/2009 - 16:46

does anybody know when this game comes out, or even a guess? i have been looking everywhere but the right place lol so if someone knows please let me know

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 07:43

I got the downloader and paid for it and stuff but for some reason the downloader isnt communicating with the internet or something it tries then it gives up anyone else having that problem?

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 00:41

(lil wayne laugh) u guys from europe cant us it :p
