I'm new here, but since this doesn't appear to be resolved on this thread I thought I'd chip in anyway.

I managed to resolve this problem on my system (Athlon 64 X2 3800+, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, GF 8800GTS/320 MB, Vista Ultimate 64-bit) by replacing the DLL running the Miles sound system with a New, Improved (TM) version. Now it starts up every time and appears to run completely stable, sound and all, in WinXP SP2 compatibility mode.

Specifically, I replaced Mss32.dll in the KOTOR2 program directory with the one you can download here: [ http://files.filefront.com/Mss32dll/;6695046;;/fileinfo.html ].

More information and other things to try here: [ http://forums.team-gizka.org/viewtopic.php?t=2098 ]. I didn't need to do the uninstall/re-install dance, but YMMV, make backups, always wear protection, and don't blame me if it all goes horribly wrong.

Thx primejunta,yeah I found out about that Mss32.dll file from Lucas Arts forums but forgot to post an update,however you did and I can confirm it works when you replace that Mss32.dll file in KOTOR 2 dir.


Btw can add Silverfall a new game that also works well with Vista x64(it's not a good game IMHO however,not worth buying at the moment).



Btw this is where I read info on KOTOR2 fix,link.


Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 work well with Vista x64 too.

primejunta welcome to AT forums.

Jedi Academy works fine (tested on Vista x64)with or without patch,XP compatibility mode not needed but works eitherway.

Baldur's Gate 2
Patch 23037

Running on Vista x64

Running in XP compatibility and run as administrator

GeForce 8800GTS Video Card with 100.65 Driver

Having graphic drawing problems in the inventory screen where all items in the inventory are drawn over each other in each slot. I have to pick the item up to see what it is.

Anyone see this problem and solve it?

Add Jedi Outcast to Vista x64 game list works fine ,all I did was update to latest version and play.

I've had problems with these games on Vista Ultimate 64 bit and the rig in my sig:

• Guildwars: installs, won't play. returns a generic render error with no code
• GTR 2: installs and plays until I update to 1.1, then running the game just pops up the video setup screen over and over
• Morrowind: won't install
• Farcry: installed once, played fine with patch. had to re-install Windows and now it won't install

Games that work:

• BF2
• Civ3 Complete
• Sim2

Morrowind installs and plays fine for me on my Vista x64 HP,I even have both the expansion packs installed as well,you tried XP SP2 compatibility mode?

Might wanna put World of Warcraft up. (plus expansion too)
It works perfectly.
