Adzy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 hi there, usually play this on the xbox but thought i would try it on the pc for modding, my problem is i load the cd, press play game, and it goes through the bioware advert etc, has the load screen but when it should have the menu i only have a black screen with the cursor, and when i move it about i can hear it on the menu options. just no visual i suppose! i ran the configuration, all requirments met except a warning on RAM(old pc). i tried a search on the forum but seemed rather fruitless. help will be massively appreciated, really want to play this bad boy!

Q Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 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: 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. Also, please specify which version of Windows you are using because the game can't ID anything newer than XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 OK, try this first: First, figure out where the .ini is installed. Default is "C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\swkotor(2)\swkotor(2).ini". If its not in that location, then your going to have to do some searching around on the hard drive a bit. When you find it, just double-click on the file to open it in Notepad. Scroll down the file until you find the Graphics Options Under the last line ("last line" as in the last line of the list of entries under "Graphics Options", NOT the last line of "swkotor(2).ini"), add "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1", without the quotes. Goto File, then Save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Bring up the launcher and hit "configure" again. Set the resolution to 1024x768, and hit "apply" then "exit" and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 The only other thing that I can think of is updating your graphics drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Are you using the disk version? If so, try renaming the swkotor.exe (don't overwrite it) and use this instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzy Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 no that didnt work either im afraid came up with an error report Appname: swkotor.exe Appver: 1.0.3.0 ModName: swkotor.exe ModVer: 1.0.3.0 Offset: 0005a321 tried it in 98/2000 compatability mode as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
