PSA: If your game regularly freezes whenever you boot up and load a save
Try toggling the "Soft Shadows" option in your Graphics settings (under "Advanced Options") and hitting OK before loading your save file. It doesn't matter whether you regularly have soft shadows enabled or not, just toggle it at least once and hit OK to exit the menu.

If your game boots up in this bugged state that freezes up loading up a save, then you may notice that:
1) the Obsidian splash video doesn't play
2) there is no main menu music

Toggling soft shadows causes the Obsidian video to play while you're in the Graphics settings and restores the main menu music. Both are signs that the game is no longer bugged and that you are now free to load up your saves. Hope it helps!

EDIT: grammar

This is the most common fix :

Because the game is so old, most monitors and hardware far exceed what the game is capable of being run at, causing it to hitch and freeze (It's a port from Xbox, not a PC game, so most Hz monitors are relics now when this was new).
--Go into your GFX settings (not the hub the actual control panel IE : Right click Nvidia and go to the control panel) ::
--Manage 3D Settings > Program settings tab
-- Find Kotor2 exe
-- Go to 3 (Specify Settings for this program table) and scroll down to Max FPS. Run the game between 45-60. Hit apply. Voila, no more freezes

Fixed.
