As always, Steams annual Christmas sale meant Id be dumping the best part of two months rent on cheap and shiny video games to play. Ive not
played a big RPG for far too long, so it seemed now would be a good time to finally get into Knights of the Old Republic.

It was Biowares exceptionally well received Star Wars RPG set in the era when there were a ton of Sith around being dicks and its your job to be more
or less of a dick depending on your particular mood that day/save file. The only problem with my purchase? KOTOR doesnt work on Windows 7. Shit.

But complaining wont do much good. I had to get this fixed!

Two easy fixes for Knights of the Old Republic on modern machines
There are two compatibility strategies that can sometimes get rid of the gremlins that make games crap out. Besides, they also double as Do these
just in case and change them back if you really want to steps. In a pinch, they can solve the problem of the game not starting up/having errors in XP,
and Ive heard whisperings that they sometimes fix things in Vista.
First off, if you have the game on Steam, disable the Steam overlay in-game by right clicking KOTOR in your library,* click Properties and its the
checkbox under the General tab. The normally helpful Steam overlay can sometimes interfere with games from the pre-Steam era (otherwise known
as the Golden Age of PC Gaming).

Done that? Tested it? Still not working? Not to worry.

Open up the folder where you installed the game. If youre on Steam, its in your common folder under your account name in the directory where you
installed it. If youre not on Steam, the folder is wherever you installed the game (check Program Files if you get lost)
Find the swkotor.exe file right click it and open up Properties
Set it to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2
Also check the box to run as an administrator
Save the changes, right click swkotor.exe, create a shortcut and throw it down on your desktop
Double click the shortcut; remember to blink

Compatibility Mode was designed specifically for situations like this, where perfectly good (and old) software is acting bad (and old). This change can
therefore solve a lot of the issues with KOTOR not running brilliantly on your modern Windows 7 (and probably Vista or Windows 8) system. This is
often all you need to do if youve had the game on your current machine before, but its not the be all and end all.

There are additional steps you can take to fix KOTOR if youre still having problems, but do not attempt the following fixes until youve already tried
those above.

Another possible fix for KOTOR not starting up on Windows 7


So youve done the above and still no joy. A lot of people get this far and become dejected/confused, and in their desperation they try cruising for various
patches/updates.

DO. NOT. DO. THIS.

KOTOR patches are largely unnecessary and can really screw you over if youre on Steam (namely: the game wont open at all, and youll be asked for
CDs you dont have). Instead, try the following:

Go to where you installed Knights of the Old Republic


You see the swkotor.exe file we messed with earlier? You should also see a file called swconfig.exe in the same folder. Open it up
Change the resolution to your native resolution or the highest resolution available
Uncheck V-Sync
Uncheck Enable Hardware Mouse
Check Disable Movies. Dont worry; this only disables the intro logo movies for LucasArts and Bioware, so you wont miss out on any cutscenes
in the actual game
Save all your changes
Double click the shortcut you made before

This is the only way Ive found to get KOTOR to work on Windows 7 and Vista. Dont get me wrong, Ive seen other fixes out there, but they seem overly
complex and rather daunting to perform.

Ive been told that these fixes wont solve every problem with getting KOTOR working on modern versions of Windows as its a rather picky game.
Apparently, there are certain graphics cards that the game just doesnt want to cooperate with, so if the above doesnt make it work for you, Google
your graphics card and make sure youre not one of the unlucky ones.

Still, disregarding odd circumstances, this should make Knights of the Old Republic run quite nicely on modern Windows systems by throwing you
instantly to the games menu screen to do with what you please. Enjoy!

* If youve lost it, dont worry, just look under Star Wars. See it now? I didnt and felt very stupid afterwards.

Yes. Tried all the easy stuff. I can get it to start if I disable all sound in compatability mode, but thats not a particularly fun way to play. Admin w/ any of the
past builds (Vista, XP, etc.) doesnt seem to help.

I know it sounds really basic but have you made sure that youre looking in the right folder? If you dont have it on Steam, the folders will be wherever you chose
to install it. If theres a shortcut for the game on your desktop, right click and look in properties and youll find the install path and the folder where swconfig.exe
should be.

Its a config.ini file you will need to open and modify after youve booted the game, make sure you change the properties so that your user can edit the file using
text doc. Hope this helps.

Howdy, Binerexis! Thanks for your guide and getting back to people with comments and staying on top of everything.

My problem here is that when I run the .exe shortcut (or even the non shortcut) the program opens (I can see it in taskmanager, for instance) and then immediately
closes. No screen change or load time. Any pointers?

Ive been fiddling!
Also in compatibility options there are a bunch of check boxes. (256 colors, 624 resolution, disable display themes, etc.)
I decided to check all of them to see if anything happened, and I got a black loading screen and some glitchy shots of my taskbar. I call it progress.
Running it in 256 colors got me the farthest, which is to say, a black screen. Checking 624 resolution got me the taskbar glitch, but then a popup stating the
resolution is to low, then the thing crashes again.

Jun 11, 2013 at 8:44 am
Sorry for the late reply to this. Have you fiddled it into working? Have you tried toying with the config file? Changed the names of the intro cinematics so they
dont play on start up?

Hi. Its a processor error. Create the following shortcut and just change the paths to where your game is installed. This sets the game to use only ONE CORE of
the cpu. You dont have to disable the movies or use compatibility either. This worked 100% for me.

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start SWKOTOR /D D:\Games\LucasArts\SWKotOR /high /affinity 1 D:\Games\LucasArts\SWKotOR\swkotor.exe

Currently it lists the numbers as

Etc. All the way down to one.
Movie 0=96
What should I change? Any support would be great thanks.
It plays but I see no cutscenes.
Binerexis
Jul 15, 2013 at 3:58 am
Change the names of the movie files I mentioned and NOTHING ELSE. The point of doing it is so the game completely skips the intro which can cause
problems.

The first post was more directed towards KOTOR 2 so I wasnt sure if the the msdll file would work for KOTOR 1 since Im trying to get that one to work first.
So I moved on to the second post with more information and I got confused fo
Steps 7 through 9
And Edits (at the bottom of the 2nd post) #2, 3 and 4.

Jun 9, 2013 at 12:59 pm
The first post is for both KOTOR 1&2, it was just using KOTOR 2 as the example.

Step 7 in the second post refers back to the first post. Steps 8 is a further fix for the first KOTOR if it doesnt open and step 9 is a fix for getting rid of lag in a
certain area of the game.

The edits at the end of the second post can be ignored as they are mentioned further up in the post.

Movies not showing when you disable movies is kind of the point ;P

Ok, go to your KOTOR folder and find where the cutscene movies are. If I remember correctly, theyre all named with numbers. What you want to do is identify
the movies used when you first load up the game (logos etc). Change the file names so that they become OLD. This means that when you load up the game, it
looks for the intro cinematics (the ones which often cause people to crash when opening the game). It does find those files (because you renamed them) so it
throws you straight to the main menu. This should allow you to play the rest of the game fine.

DONT FORGET TO RE-ENABLE MOVIES AFTER CHANGING FILE NAMES.

Disabling the cutscenes in the config is why youre not getting any cutscenes!

Change the names of the files for the opening cutscenes (the ones before the main menu) by putting old in the file name. Re-enable cutscenes in the config and
then it should all work fine!

As the maker of this helpful guide says, you must be one of the unlucky ones, just like me. Your graphics card probably isnt compatible for the game, so it will
never run on your current PC hardware I am in the same position myself, and i cried a little when i found out Just google your graphics card model to make
sure, but it is probably that :P

Try changing the names of the intro movies and go through the config to disable hardware acceleration. Its unlikely that youre on completely incompatible
hardware but it may take some tinkering.

It can be ANY intro scene. Have you tried disabling/renaming them at all?

I just wanted to thank you for this info. I got KOTOR a while back and could never get it to work reliably so I had to give up on it. Recently I updated my drivers to
deal with some other issues so I gave the game another try but it still wasnt working. Your fixes worked excellently and took less than 5 minutes. Ive spent hours
trying to figure out how to make this game work, so you can probably imagine how awesome that was for me. Thanks so much for making it easy!

This article is BS when you disable movies you disable ALL CUTSCENES!

The game crashes for me after loading unless I disable sound. Any fix for that?

Are you running compatability mode?

Hey, so I changed the names of the movies (biologo, lelogo, legal), but the game still crashes when I load it up unless I disable all movies. I know those are the
correct files because when I use the original filenames the movies play. Any ideas?

Thanks a ton! Youre a genius. Ive been trying for 2 days to get this game working and after going through a bunch of stupid and convoluted solutions your simple
tips were the only thing that worked. Thanks again. Do you have a similar post for kotor 2?
