KotOR High Resolution Menus 1.5

So I've installed the exe by FairLight, patched it using UniWS, followed the directions in the pdf, and once I put the 1920x1080 files in the Override directory the attatched screenshot is all I get at the main menu, Really not sure what I am doing wrong

EDIT: After some research, I found that I had to go into the .ini file and manually change the Width and Height to 1920 and 1080 respectively

Having the same issue, which .ini file did you edit to fix it?

Edit: I figured it out

Hey, would you mind telling me your solution?

Im having similar problems under Win11I followed the instructions of several guides multiple times but i always end up with the blank menu Screen.

Win11, 2560x1440, 60hz, 100%scaling.

fresh Install (old iso i still have from my original disc Version, original legit key) 

1. I run the game to make sure it works.

2. Editable .exe from deadlystream.

3. Uniwis Patch. - 1024x768 

I enter 2560x1440 - Patch successful.

I Copy the files for 2560x1440 in the override folder.

I enter 2560 and 1440 in the .ini under graphics options 

4. I start the game, everything works but ofc its still in original resolution.

5. I follow the steps in the readme of the k1hrm 1.5 - i have tried both versions multiple times now, each with fresh installs - either miving the exe into the mod folder and only the modded one back or moving bat and exe into the games directory. I run the Bat. I enter 2560, 1440, yes, swkotor.exe

It finishes, No Error.

I copy the files from 16:9/2560x1440 into my Override.

When i start the game i see this empty Main menu.

And menu fix and HD menus dont change it either 

The only "progress" i made was when i let the bat run through two times in a row - then i had a huge black rectangle in the upper left corner and a sliver of the menu in HD in the right and bottom side of the Screen.

Oh - and i also was so frustrated, that i bought it on steam as well, but with the same results...

If anyone knows how i can fix this, pls let me know;)

Start from scratch with an unmolested copy of the exe. Use UniWS to patch the 800x600 slot. Then patch with ndix UR's patcher. The ini should be fine if you've already edited it.

Will try that next - fingers crossed 

Sadly that didnt work - i also found a different tutorial in YT claiming that this would only work If you use 1280x960.

I tried it now with every single option (each time fresh Installation) and always get the same results.

I even tried out a different swkotor.exe

Try the following: K1_Patched_2560x1440.zip

Do i use this instead of the files from k1hrm 1.5 or on top of them?

Replace your original (or patched) exe and ini with the attached. You still need the GUIs in the Override from this mod. The attached is just a pre-patched exe.

okay - for a fraction of a second i actually had the full menu visible, but then the black space returned - when i tab out and hover over the task in the taskbar - the preview window also shows the correct menu.  i´m starting to think this problem might be Windows related and not kotor...

Could be if you are using Win 11, who knows. Or it could be GPU driver related.

yeah its a new PC and Win11 was preinstalled - drivers are up to date. Thanks for the help so far! I hope i will find a solution soon - or i will just play it retro style XD

Edit: OH MY GOD!

I tried it one last time with your files but on my Steam version - it finally works!

Today is a good day! 

Thanks again for the help!

Hi guys. I can't get Kotor 1 to run in 2560*1440 resolution. I first used UniWS to patch EXE, then used this to patch EXE, and put correct files in Override directory. Here is what I am seeing, with the main menu in lower right of my screen. Help appreciated

If you are using the Steam version, try the already patched  .exe that DarthParametric kindly attached above. The only thing left to do is to copy the files from the k1hrm subfolder 16x9 2560x1440 to your Override. 

It should be noted that the adjusted main menu UI won't exactly match the vanilla menu background. I'd suggest the addition of this:

I tried those linked files. Everything is still off-center. I loaded a save, and it does fill screen, but some stuff is cut off. If it matters any, display scaling is set to 125%. Does it need to be at 100% scaling for Kotor 1? Also, can I set scaling for individual games through Nvidia Control Panel? Thoughts and help appreciated 

I would suggest setting scaling to 100% to at least test its impact, certainly.

Thanks so much! It indeed was the image scaling! I set it to 100%, and everything looks good! Should I leave it at 100%? I mean, would other games be affected by scaling as well? I just now tested Kotor 2, and nothing looked changed as far as scaling goes.

You'd have to evaluate that yourself on a case-by-case basis. But it's certainly possible, especially with older games.

This broke mouse functions.
Example: You can click options in the main menu, Inside options you can't click on anything anywhere. The same goes for New Game. You can click Quick or Custom but nothing after that.
One person commented that the curser doesn't line up but that isn't the issue for me because there is nowhere on the screen that registers a click.

Installed mods using this guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/wiki/kotormodbuildfull/#wiki_installation_instructions

Everything worked perfect until applying this mod, luckily I made a copy before running the .bat.
Unfortunately I now have to skip this mod.

The automatic installation doesn't work for me, the manual installation instructions are beyond my capabilities, would it be possible for you @ndix UR to make multiple variants of the exe for the common resolutions and upload them?
EDIT: never mind. I hired a guy on Fiverr do the work for me and uploaded the results in my own mod

Hi, maybe someone can help me. The mod works fine, but I make small adjustments in the layout of elements for myself using KotOR GUI Editor. It does its job but I ran into a problem. Statussummary_p.gui doesn't change at all no matter what I do. I saw in the description that the mod omits this file, but maybe someone knows how I can edit it?

A small guestion , the license file indicates the project is foss with gpl 3 license. Where can i access the source code. I cannot find any repo

The Perl script (hires_patcher.pl) is included in the archive. It's just packed as a self-contained exe. There's no public repository.

This mod works great! However, I am noticing something weird on my install. I followed this video here as a walkthrough to get this to work on my 3440x1440 21:9 monitor, and I followed that video step by step which includes this mod. However, I'm not sure if this mod is affecting the subtitle text onscreen or not, but for some reason, every initiation of talking to some npc, the bottom textbox is cut off, and then after the first line gets spoken by the npc, the textbox fixes itself after they speak their next line. Here are some screenshots to help explain what's going on: 

Image showing the issue

Image showing it fixes itself after next line of dialog

Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on here? It's not a big deal because I can just go back into the journal and see what they said if they're speaking an alien language or something, but it is annoying if I can't see a textbox for an alien language npc.

Sidenote: I couldn't actually take screenshots for some reason because every time I hit the prtsc key or windows + shift + s function, it minimized the game every time. So I took actual images from my phone as a workaround.
