On Friday morning I bought Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords for the PC. I installed it, generated a character and watched the opening movie. Then the screen went completely black, while the music continued to play in the background. The only way to break out of the game at that point was to manually turn off the computer. Anyway I did that a couple more times then I went looking for a patch. It turns out that there was an upgrade for my version of the game but it would only partially download. Technical support were utterly dismal.
I had a look around online to see if there was an obvious solution to the problem. The only remedy that I could find involved a lot of messing around with the set-up of the system and lay far beyond my limited technical abilities. While I was attempting to sort this out, I began to read about other serious problems people have been having with this game. One user even had his entire party gradually replaced by identical Wookie characters. That was the final straw for me. I’m used to bugs in software but I have never had a game fail on such a fundamental level before.
I took it back today and exchanged it for SIMS 2 which like all my other PC games actually works without me having to turn my system upside down to accommodate it.
