Drunkside Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I installed KOTOR on Windows 7 and it doesn´t play fullscreen. Or rather it does, but most of the screen is black with a little window in which the game plays in the middle. Running it in windowsxp compatibility mode made the movies play. The last time i had the game installed it played in fullscreen mode but the menus were little. If someone knows how to fix this I would appreciate telling me.

Q Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Reinstall the game according to the large-print instructions at the top of the second post in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkside Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thanks... Didn´t bother looking at that thread cause when I had problems with Vista I managed to get around them, but doing the same things I did back then didn´t work this time. And I thought it was just for Vista... I shouldn´t just assume stuff like this. EDIT: Reinstalled according to the instructions on that page and nothing changed, I still only have a small window in the middle of the screen. And by the way, my resolution options are three 800x600s and three 1240x750s (or something like that...), no other options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Windows 7 is pretty much Vista 1.1. Try using the game's configuration utility to post your system 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: Bring up the launcher menu for Kotor 1 or 2. 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.

I can´t get the widescreen fix to work though, It just creates a horde of strange files that seem to do nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 If you're talking about UniWS, it'll probably only work with the older swkotor.exe from the patch (v. 1.03). Windows 7 has better backward-compatibility than Vista did, so you might be able to use it instead of the one updated by SecuROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkside Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 I am using v 1.03, and i used it also when i had vista. I got the resolution to get bigger, but it messed up pretty much everything else, I´ll then probably just play it in an irritating little window. Or get a normal screen from somewhere...

Drunkside Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Yes, that´s exactly the one that didn´t work... But it doesn´t matter, I started playing and found out (to my surprise) that it doesn´t matter that the game doesn´t fill the entire screen, I don´t even notice it anymore.

Q Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Did you change the width and height values under [Graphics Options] to the resolution you set UniWS to in the swkotor.ini file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkside Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Did you change the width and height values under [Graphics Options] to the resolution you set UniWS to in the swkotor.ini file? Yes, it does 2 different things: it either changes back or stretches the in game screen horizontally and moves it away from the center of the screen so that all the buttons and such are off, i have to click about 2 cm below them.
