SW:KOTOR crashing and missing options

[Vozella]

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

 

I rememeber playing this game a long time ago. I don't know how I ran it back then because I'm having so many problems now.

 

First of all, when the game runs, it doesn't do anything when I click.

 

Before that happened, I couldn't change the resolution without the game crashing. 

 

Also, my friend is also playing this game and he has settings that I either don't have or it doesn't let me click.

It only lets me have either 4X AA or off even though it says there are more avaliable on the side.

It displays Soft Shadows, but it doesn't let me click it.

The only way is to use virtual machine or install win xp in dual boot (or onto another drive).

oh dear god

 

I'm guessing Windows 7 then. It's probably broken there or something?

Try running it in compatibility mode for Windows XP sp1. I have had similar issues with it, it's just not programmed to run on modern hardware or software.

I don't know what you mean by broken. I have a legit Windows 8.1 if that's what you're asking.

I didn't know you could do that. I'll look it up.

Meh, I might have to see if it'll work on my shitbox 552

Right click the game executable, go to properties, and select compatibility. Then select run in compatibility mode, and in the drop down select "windows XP SP1"

I only have SP2 and SP3. Not SP1.

I only have SP2 and SP3. Not SP1. 

Then use either of those. Any XP sp will help the game run more stably.

Okay. I tried every version the list had and none of it work. 

I reinstalled it and now it crashes after the three first short clips it shows before the menu.

 

Please help. I just want to play Kotor.

Interesting, I had a very similar issue trying to run it on W7 where it would crash just after reaching the title screen. Simply changing to the comp mode and spamming esc to skip the opening cutscenes for the companies was enough to fix it though.

 

Besides trying that, I really don't know >.>

I think I'll do a clean install of Windows. That's all I have left to do.

Try disabling the videos. It used to crash the game for me. Either that or try an emulator if nothing else works.

I disabled the videos by renaming them, but all that did was go straight in to crashing. It might have something to do with the menu.

Do you know any emulators for Windows XP?

 

 

[Miguel Batista]

I disable the videos in the options. You havea tickbox there for videos. As for emulators, never needed to use one so idk... Google it? You could try a virtual machine i guess.
