Thanks for the good information.

 

Can anyone re-up the links on the first page for the "mss32.dll" file?

 

Also... the links to the patches seem to be down. Help?

 

Thanks for any help. I'm running Vista and KOTOR 1.

 

Trying to. :thmbup1:

 

Thanks, hope someone can help!

Can you list your specs?

Post your system specs

Sometimes we're just not going to be able to help you if we don't know what kind of hardware you have on your machine. If you don't know what you have on your machine, then follow these steps below:

  • If you're using Vista or Windows 7, go into your game folder, find "launcher.exe" and right-click on it. Select "properties", then "compatibility" and check the box beside "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". Then check the box next to "Run this program administrator" and hit "OK". (EDIT by Q)
  • Bring up the launcher menu for Kotor 1 or 2 (by running "launcher.exe").
  • Click on "Configure".
  • Click the "Scan Hardware" button on the lower center of the window.
  • Click "Yes" to continue.
  • Click "Details" to view your system specs.
  • Click "Save Report" and save the file to your desktop.
  • Whenever you post your problem, open the file you just saved and copy and paste the contents to your post.

You can leave out the keymapping and everything after that.

Have you tried using the updater? KotOR 1's still works AFAIK.

 

Just to be safe, set the swupdate.exe file in the game's main folder to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode as an administrator before running it.

does anyone know why my keyboard will not work what so ever with kotor 2? and sometimes i get what i guess looks like a hyper flicker of the graphics in game.

 

anyways if anyone can help it be much appreciated.

 

I am having a rather unique problem, similar to this. Every time after killing something, I can't use the W and S keys OR the left mouse button to move around, but can use the keyboard and mouse for other things like pausing (space) and looking around. Just moving forward or backward cannot be done. The only thing that fixes it is reloading a previous save, but starts again after fighting something.

 

oh yeah, I also can't install the KOTOR2 patch, manually or not. the auto update gives an error and the manual patch locks up after supposedly hitting 100%.

 

and for some reason the Config scan hardware report keeps failing my video card, even though I just updated it... help!

i've had that a lot on KOTOR I mostly ... dunno why the move keys stick after a kill sometimes .. i've found that saving at that point and hitting F5 for load solves it .. pain in the ass but it works to free up the movement keys. as for that graphics prob ur getting i've been getting that for ages on KOTOR I ... and i've got the latest drivers and DX for my card an win 7 ... follow the steps on the second post for this thread and it mite solve the prob .. i'm trying that now ad a lot of ppl have found that fix's the probs.

 

 

hope this helps

Hey Guys, I am new and am having an issue with KOTOR 1, I have tried running it in compatibility mode as described in the previous posts and my game still rndomly crashes throughout gameplay.

Ahh I didn't do that yet.

 

Is it the swkotor configuration file?

I looked everythwere and couldnt find a swkotor.ini file.

 

If so every time I try and add in the line it tells me and save it it just says access denied.

Any suggestions?
