Just to mention, looks like an official Kotor2 port for mac could be in Aspyre's plans. Check this topic http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/3233-kotor-ii-port-coming-soon-to-linuxmobile-macintosh/ -
When you install manually, after the "Wineskin is currently busy Please Wait.." message does steam installer show up? (The window that says "Welcome to steam setup bla bla bla") The "oops! ...." message occurs when you close the setup before it's completed. So it seems your wrapper it's unable to launch it. Try to re-download the wrapper, this time don't use winetricks, just use manual setup procedure. ------------- P.S. Thanks both GreenTeaSoda and de_englund for your messages (looks like i've missed them), i'll look into updating the guide with that fix you reported.

Hi GreenTeaSoda, unfortunately i do not possess the GoG version, and except for that few lines under "GoG version" i wrote in the beginning of the guide, i have not experience with that version. In fact all the steps below that specific section of the guide refer to the steam version of kotor2, so i don't really know if you can apply them to your version... That said, check this video made by Paul The Tall himself to use porting kit for this specific game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUeCaQ81bZA Hope you solve your problem, i'm not very much help there Thank you a lot. I loved this game when i was a kid and i still think is one of best videogame ever made. It really moves me when i play it and i want to help mac users to being able to feel that way too

@buchhomb Sincerely i don't know what your problem could be. If the games crashes every time in the same point could be caused by some problem during installation, either the game or tslrcm. But i'm really not sure about that. The crash itself could be causing wineskin freezing, in that case try to use cmd+alt(option)+esc to close wineskin and then reopen. Last attempt is to make a new fresh installation, downloading the wrapper again, putting it in another place to avoid any confusion, and repeating all the procedure. I know that is very very annoying, personally i did it 8-9 times i think (because every i was experimenting some options to have better performances, and every time causing the game to not work anymore), but in my experience is the best way to make this wrapper work again, *KNOWN* that reinstalling does not ensure you that is going run. I apologize for not being more helpful than that
-
Looks like the wrapper itself is going quite unstable. Which Mac and OSX are you using? And in which part of the game you get a crash? Sorry, what link?
-
Ok if you got it run with the kotor2.exe updated with Squ1zzy's and 1280x960 is not appearing follow this instructions: **1280x960 Resolution not available**: If you are using a laptop that doesn't support 1280x960 resolution, just go ahead with 1024x768, and patch with native resolution of your monitor. (To know what resolution supports your monitor, click on the apple icon, "informations about this Mac", "Monitor". If your monitor can actually support that resolution and higher, open Wineskin, then Set Screen Options. Under Override Settings set Fullscreen, and under Resolution put 1920x1200 (NOT 1920x1080). Under "Override Wine control of Screen Settings?" set Override. Inside game options set to 1280x1024 ---------------------------------- Regarding "patch" button being greyed out in Widescreen Fix, check from post #51 of this topic (link), where a user got your same problem. Tell me if you get it working EDIT: if things are not going can you please tell me which Mac are you using?
-
Hi Jayhennessy93, if you already purchased Kotor 2 on steam, you il find it available to download under LIBRARY tab. If you haven't bought it yet, i suggest you to use the normal steam application for Mac, using the same account.
-
Ok so is everything going fine then? Remember to install widescreen fix and tslrcm, that will improve drastically your game experience!
-
No need to download steam. It should just recreate the .app file with the already loaded wrapper. About the pointer, usually it should work if set to 1, anyway it depends on your system. Try switching to 0. Glad to be helpful, tell me if you got it to work
-
That explains why steam won't start by default. Try going to Wineskin Advanced, Tool tab. Under Utilities click on Custom EXE Creator. See if you can rebuild the .app from there putting Steam.exe path as before.
-
Should be an Application, with a Kotor2 icon (with Sion, Nihillus and stuff...)
-
Tried to launch steam with Test Run inside wineskin advanced options?
-
No need to refresh or update! On the contrary, updating could cause incompatibility
-
Hi buchhomb, unfortunately I do not own the gog version so i can not help you there. Regarding steam version, you do not need wineskin nor you need to create a new wrapper. 1Leonard's wrapper works for its own. To avoid any confusion erase any wrapper you created, and just use the one from PortingTeam. The file you download from the link in step 1 should be a .7z file. You extract it (I suggest Keka for Mac, it's free and quite useful), and inside that you will find Knights of the old Republic II.app, that will be your wrapper. Use the steps under **NOTE** just below the fifth step. (Using winetricks seems not to work any more). Tell me if you still have issues.
-
When you launch the game does wineskin window appear just over your steam library or steam closes just before that? Try checking the game cache inside steam, maybe something went wrong during installation. (In this case you have to repeat the kotor2.exe file replacement with the Squ1zzy's.) Otherwise try opening wineskin (Show package content on Knights of the old republic 2.app), then go to advanced: here check Window EXE path, it should be /Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe And try launching program with Test Run in lower right corner.
-
So when you click Play on kotor 2 inside steam the window itself crashes?? Anyway, if you haven't seen yet, check "**Game not launching/Steam won't allow you to play because game is "already running"**" under Known Issues.
-
Dear 1Leonard I really appreciate that. By the way it is thanks to you if we can now play freely in Kotor 2 on Mac, so, again, thank you. Anyway everyone here was able to install and run the game, with some minor issues we resolved and reported inside the guide. Kotor2 goes with no problems except for those you probably are already aware of: Frame Buffer Effects, Soft Shadows, and a tricky brightness option. It would be great if you could take a look to these comments and see if you can find a solution to those problems, or if you just have any suggestion to improve game experience!
-
That's because you cannot enable Frame Buffer Effects, unfortunately there is no way to make it work... Stealth belts will not work neither. About movies, RenegadeSniper7's guide about widescreen movies should help. You're welcome!

GOG MAY THE FOURTH SALE!!!
Lupo_dK replied to djnugent's topic in Knights of the Old Republic General
You need Paul the Tall Porting Kit, and should be less tricky than installing the Steam Version (I don't have gog version though...) I'm really curious to see if it is going to work better than Steam, and if allows you to enable frame buffer effects and soft shadows -
Use Widescreen UI FIX by Achilles to fix that Anyway i'm glad you made it. So setting 1920x1200 as fullscreen resolution inside Wineskin fixed the issue. Can you please tell me which graphic options are you allowed to set inside the game? (Anti aliasing, buffer effects...)
-
Ok so you set inside screen options of wineskin your native resolution (1920x1080 I guess) and checked Override under "Override Wine control of Screen Settings". If you can, in game options just set to 1280x1024 and then exit the game and try to patch. But if you ca not click on Exit due to screen restriction, try to change the resolution you set before inside wineskins screen options from 1920x1080 to 1920x1200. This should allow you to select 1280x1024 properly, and maybe 1600x1200 too. In any case just select 1280x1024.
-
Which resolution are you allowed to set inside the game?
-
Ok let's see. Apparently your UniWS is not properly recognizing swkotor2.exe... Did you overwrite old swkotor2.exe with the squ1zzy's??? That's crucial to make things work. And, most important, you have to open the game once to set 1280x960 resolution. Only after that you can apply UniWS patch. That is not supposed to happen... I wonder if the recent OSX updates have may caused compatibility issues for the wrapper
-
1920x1080 is a Widescreen (16:9) resolution, 1280x960 is 4:3. This last one is not really "natively" supported by your Mac Monitor, but you are setting it just temporarily, in order to patch it later with UniWs and obtain a fullscreen 1920x1080 resolution. Just follow the instructions, and you will get a perfect image in the end (If 1280x960 resolution does not appear in graphic options check Known Issues). Regarding your fist problem, "steamwebhelper.exe" was causing the problem, and that actually should be the update checker for Steam. Maybe disabling wifi could have prevented that program from starting...
-
Ok regarding screen resolution, go to swkotor2.ini (open with textedit) inside game directory and change screen resolution to 1280x960 ( should be under [Graphic Options] if i remember well). It should appear propely now. Use this resolution to apply widescreen fix. Regarding winetricks, never worked for me, seems it`s not working for you too... at this point giving it a try was needed! So leave the winetricks and try this Next time try to launch wrapper with wifi disabled and ethernet unplugged, steam should go in offline mode and maybe resolve the problem. I dont really know if it's going to work... let me know if you get any improvement
