Yeah, I usually do that when I haven't had enough sleep. And this is combined with a strong paranoid feelings of "I forgot something, better check it again... and again."

These days I decided to give a first try of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy on my new PC - once again, id Software's technology proved its superiority. Both games came around the same time as KOTOR, yet are considerably more stable and handle smoother than its "Odyssey" engine. As a whole, id Tech 3 (a.k.a. "the Quake 3 engine") seems to be the most stable and trouble-free id Tech engine of all... at least from my perspective. Even the newer id Tech 4 had some minor issues on a 64-bit OS, which required the use of a workaround :P

I got the old JK and MotS working too - they require some workarounds but work fine. The problematic thing about these games is that the menus and the actual engine run on different modes - the menu runs on Software mode (640x480), while the actual game engine is on Direct3D (resolution of your choice). So every time you go to the menu, the game has to switch, which could mess things up... but fortunately, there are at least 2 workarounds to fix this.
