I show you how to run 'Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic' in 1920 x 1080 resolution on Windows 10! Hope you find this video useful. There are links belo. By default: C:GOG GamesStar Wars - KotOR Locate the atigktxx.dll and atioglxx.dll file, change their names, move them to a different directory or delete them. Now check if the issue persists. If you are able to open the main menu, but the game crashed when you press Play. I just bought KoToR after playing KoToR II. I'm enjoying it so far except for one thing: Almost everytime I make some sort of adjustment to the graphics options, my screen goes dark. The game doesn't crash and is still running, but my screen goes dark. A temporary fix is to hit the escape key and alt+tab out and back into the game. I have a 1920x1080 screen which is. Viewscreens, also known as holoscreens, vidscreens, and rarely repeater displays,1 were telescreens used to project holographic moving images on HoloNet channels from across the galaxy. It would display holo-signals in, but, instead of projecting a three-dimensional image, images on a holoscreen would be shown like any normal screen in two-dimensional format with the exception of the weight. Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge is a mod that provides a significant expansion of content to Bioware's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Boasting an epic storyline which encompasses new quests, new party members, new fully voiced characters, new items, and brand new areas, Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge adds many.
Heya everyone,
I'm not sure if it was the good section to do this, but I didn't see any other so here I am. As you can see I'm not a runner of this game, not yet, but I have played countless hours on KotOR and I had the displeasure of trying to make it work on Windows 10. Now there are already guides on the internet, but I figured a guide here would be cool for people trying to begin the speedrun and not wanting to revert to windows 7 for one game. So here it comes, ladies and gentlemen, easy fixes for KotOR on the bizarre 10th window.
Step 1:
Now first thing you need to understand is that KotOR is old. We are talking about a game released in 2003,that was made for Windows XP at the time. So of course there are gonna be problems for next generations of OS. One of the biggest problems you can and will encounter is your game crashing at the very beginning, on the Lucas Art logo. This is an easy fix, you only have to things to do:
1. Go to your swkotor/movies (or Star Wars - KotOR/movies if you have the GOG version)folder, and locate these 3 files: biologo.bik, leclogo.bik and legal.bik. Rename them by changing the extension to .bik.old, and the files won't be run by the game anymore. No more crashes at start anymore, yayy!
2. Now if it doesn't entirely work, you may want to run the swconfig program present in the swkotor, and check the Disable Movies. Of what I remember this should only disable intro movies, not the others, but I could be wrong on that and it could be forbidden in speedruns, so I will ask someone of the community on that. While you are in this program by the way, check that V-Sync is enabled, it's really important to play the game properly.
Step 2:
Now another problem you may encounter is your game crashing on any single cinematic, or movie, however you want to call it. Why? Because when the game launches a movie, it launches a video file and in a way creates a second window to the game. When it wants to come back however, Windows 10 doesn't follow and KotOR will end up crashing. To fix that you will need to put your game in windowed mode. It's not optimal depending on your pc or laptop but it's the best available choice. To do so, you will need 2 steps again:
1. Go into the root folder of the game and open swkotor.ini with a program like NotePad or WordPad. Scroll down to [Graphics Options] and find the option Fullscreen=1. Switch it to 0, but no, it's not over, there is more!
2. Then under the [Graphics Options] section, add this line: AllowWindowedMode=1, save, and when you next launch the game, it should be in Windowed mode, and you won't crash on every movie.
3. Lastly, if the game doesn't automatically launch in Windowed mode, you will just have to hit Alt+Enter and it will switch without crashing.
Now you've done it, you have dodged 90% of the crashes you could encounter with KotOR on Windows 10. If you encounter other problems, some really detailed and complete guides are up on the Internet to help you, but that's the base of it.
Hope you enjoyed the guide,

In Replaying the Classics, StarWars.com revisits Star Wars games of yesteryear, examining why we loved them then and why they stand the test of time.
Today, Obsidian Entertainment is known to many gamers as the developer behind world-class RPGs like Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity, but the company got its start in a galaxy far, far away. Founded in 2003 by former employees of Black Isle Studios, Obsidian's first-ever project was a tall order: a follow-up to BioWare's highly acclaimed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The good news was that the team would have access to the Odyssey Engine, d20 System, and other technology BioWare had used to make the first KotOR such a monumental hit. The bad news? Obsidian would have a little more than one year to complete the game in time for the 2004 holiday season.
Like the original Knights of the Old Republic, The Sith Lords takes place millennia before the rise of the Galactic Empire, in an age when the Sith have hunted down and destroyed many of the Jedi. While KotOR closely follows the structure and tone of the classic Star Wars trilogy, its sequel opts for a more leisurely, novelistic style of storytelling. Its unique characters are beloved for the ways they discuss and examine the complicated nature of the Force, and the Force itself plays a fairly active and crucial role in the story.
The Mandalorian Wars that served as the backstory for the first KotOR are further explored in Knights of the Old Republic II, culminating with a showdown on the war-torn planet Malachor V, which was later depicted in the Season Two finale of Star Wars Rebels. Gradually, it's revealed that the player character, known as 'the Exile,' and the woman accompanying them on their journey, Kreia, both knew the fallen Jedi Revan, who led Republic forces during the war. (For players who took the light-side path in the first Knights of the Old Republic, Revan was eventually redeemed.) Revan's not part of KotOR II's story, exactly, but the character's mark can be found throughout the game — along with a few familiar faces who knew the Prodigal Knight best.
Most of the features players loved most in the first KotOR return in the sequel (sometimes in new-and-improved form, but always intact). It's still got a robust character-creation system; it still has plenty of amazing Star Wars loot to discover and carry into battle against the Sith, including lightsabers; and it's still got Pazaak, the ingenious card game invented by Drew Karpyshyn, author of the fan-favorite Legends novel Darth Bane: Path of Destruction.
'We decided to build upon the proven success of the first game's design, and were careful to not fix aspects of the game that had already proved their worth,' designer Kevin Saunders recalled in an article for Game Developer magazine. 'Instead, we identified areas of KotOR that we could expand upon to create a better experience in a flavor similar to that of the first game. Almost without exception, every game-design enhancement to KotOR II was a natural extension from the original.'
As the subtitle implies, a lot of the game's lasting appeal comes from its memorable, sometimes terrifying Sith Lords, who are veiled in mystery for much of the story. KotOR II had to jettison a large amount of narrative content near the end of its tight production schedule — which was amazingly restored in 2015 and is available on Steam — but that didn't stop it from delivering one of the best-written, most original tales of the entire Legends era. Its dialogue, in particular, would impress audiences in any medium. And the story's biggest surprises will haunt players long after the game is over.
'It's addictive. It kills your social life dead. And it's still the greatest Western-style RPG on the consoles,' a reviewer for Eurogamer wrote in 2005. 'In terms of creating an Xbox RPG in which you define yourselves by your decisions, minor and major, it's peerless.' That journalist's name was Kieron Gillen, who's better known these days as the co-creator of Doctor Aphra and the writer behind Marvel's ongoing Star Wars comic. Small galaxy.
