Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords

Like its predecessor, The Sith Lords takes place thousands of years before any of the Star Wars movies and is focused on some of the formative struggles between the Jedi and their power-hungry counterparts, the Sith. In the first game, you eventually discovered your Jedi powers, as well as your mysterious past. This time, you play as a different character that begins the adventure as a Jedi--but your knowledge of the character's past, the character's Force powers, and even the character's lightsaber are all missing. A journey of self-discovery awaits, and as you pick up the pieces of your character's past and discover the reasons for his or her exile from the Jedi order, your path will lead you to the few Jedi who survived the catastrophic events that took place at the conclusion of the original game.

Additional Comments

The causing message of the crash should be: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address (nil) There is another error occuring before the beginning of the intro video: err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"a3dapi.dll" But the Video starts playing. I tried all suggested solutions and end up with the same negative result mentioned in the comment "Black screen after character creation". I additionally tried a few patches available, including mods and community patches: - TSLRCM 185 - M478EP 1.2 - 64 and 32 Bit wine - installing dxd9_43 --------------------------- Lenovo Ideapad S400 Intel I3 2365M 1.4 GHz x4 Intel HD Graphics 4000
