I'm on the part in Kashyyyk right after you take down Chuundar and talk to the green tentacle dude who gives you a datapad. Whenever I go through the door to the Landing Port after I go through The Great Walkway, the screen loads the area up and then turns grey. The weird thing is, the game still has sound for the Landing Port and a tiny, tiny bar of the actual game that isn't grey is visible at the top of the screen. Is this "grey screen glitch" thing common with Kotor, or do I have a messed up disc? I'm just starting to really enjoy this game, and I can't find any retailers nearby who carry it.
Thanks in advance.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Jul 15, 2003
Taking place in the Old Republic era of Star Wars, around 4000 years before the events of the films, Knights of the Old Republic is a third-person turn-based RPG where players travel the galaxy as a mysterious Republic soldier, racing against time to thwart a massive Sith fleet.
Is this fixable?
KOTOR has a LOT of technical problems. When I first played it, I couldn't get off of Dantooine without the game crashing. I couldn't paly it until years later when I got a new computer. It's really a crapshoot with this game as far as I can tell. You might want to buy it on Steam instead. They might have patches that would help with those kinds of problems. I'm no pc game expert.

"Oh yeah, I guess I should've mentioned I was on the Xbox version. I figured I was boned anyway. Fourteen hours for nothing -_-
Yeah, the game does have some major tech problems. There's even a certain point in the game that doesn't work with a bunch of nVidia graphics cards after a certain update. The developers said a long time ago they wouldn't fix it, so I can no longer replay the game. I'd check any official forums you can find on the game and look up known issues. There may be some sort of fix you can do.
Do you have an earlier save? It's been awhile since I've played, but you can go back to your ship and change planets whenever you want, right? Try leaving and returning before accessing that area again. I wouldn't want you to spend more money for nothing.
It might just be that save that is messed up. Do you have any earlier saves that you can try?
That's really a bummer duder. I've never had any technical problems with a Bioware game, and that's going back to Baldurs Gate days. Luck of the draw I guess.
I have both KOTOR and KOTOR II on xbox and never had problems with them. And man do I love those games, especially the original KOTOR. Don't get discouraged, this is a really good game.
I have one older save that might work...
I'll try them in a bit and tell you guys how it works.

It worked! :) I loaded my latest save where I talked to the Twi'lek, ran back to the wookie village, returned the Hawk via the map, and now everything's working perfectly!
Thanks guys :)
