[APPLICATION_FAULT in swkotor2.exe - DUMP DATA]

Same problem in KotOR 2 +Dump file

Admin: Split from other thread. This should be a separate thread. Different issue

I have this problem in the game Knights of the Old Republic 2. At a certain point in the game, after a rather long ingame cutscene, the game suddently stops, and windows tells me that swkotor2.exe has generated an error. I followed all the advice in this thread, but I really can't find any solution to the problem. There aren't any patches for the game out yet either so I can't update the game. My dump file looks like this.

unfortunatly, this is crashing inside the code of the video game itself. I dont see any evidence that its in directX or anything thats system related to give you any sort of targeted advice.

Youll need to follow the usual troubleshooting for video games, fiddle with your video card, try turning down some of the graphics options, etc..
