Chevron 7 locke Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hey everyone. I recently got picked up a new Asus desktop with windows 7 on it and I seem to be having a few issues. KOTOR 1 works like a dream on it but I am having a very annoying problem with KOTOR 2. The game refuses to start. At all. I click the launcher and I get a spinning cd and then nothing. I followed the directions to get it running on windows 7 and it still refuses to work. I hope I'm doing this right as this is the first time I've had to post the specs for my game. Also, the specs are of an unmodified game that was freshly installed.

Q Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 1) Make sure that you actually replaced the mss32.dll and the swkotor2.exe files with the new ones. Sometimes they either don't overwrite or something else screws up and it keeps the game from running. 2) Go into swkotor2.ini, set Width=1280, Height=768 and Fullscreen=1 under both "Display Options" and "Graphics Options". Make sure to also put the Dantooine lag fix (Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1) under "Graphics Options", then save and exit. 3) You have an ATI card, and these are notoriously fussy with the KotOR games. Try downloading and installing the latest version of ATI Tray Tools and create a game profile for KotOR 2 with the Direct3d and OpenGL settings set to Auto Balanced. 4) If that doesn't work, try it in conjunction with the suggestion made here: Hello, first some facts about the setup: o Win7 x64 o KoToR via steam (so the installation guide is useless) o HD5770 o Catalyst 10.2 It's rather simple, really. The game had trouble locating the OpenGL driver and I got a atioglxx.dll exception. I found the workaround at guru3d and the AMD forums: Put the atioglxx.dll from Catalyst 9.12 in the game folder. So far it works in windowed mode only, but I am glad it works at all.
