  1. For some reason I get a big frame rate drop when ever there's smoke effects.
  2. Applied that fixed and it worked. Everything seems to be good now. There are some minor problems like the holorecordings arent holograms, they're fully colored. Also, movies start off a little shaky before they get going. The screen is black the first 2 seconds then I get video of a few seconds into the moive and then finally audio. Its not that big of a problem but just thought I'd mention it. Thanks for the help!
  3. I can't use Frame Buffer or Soft Shadows. They are greyed out. I'll look into applying that fix sometime later today.
  4. Sweet, widescreen now works! The catch is that the map in game doesn't really display correctly. Everything is there expect for the room layouts. I'm using the native res of 1920x1080. Maybe I should decrease that.
  5. 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 I'm using 1023x768. Using 1280x1024 makes it so that I can only see the top left forth of the screen.
  6. I swapped the swkotor2.exe and the 1280x920 resolution is not avilable to choose. So I tried going into the wine wrapper and setting the resolution to the native res of my monitor. That didn't make the 1280x920 res appear in options. So I tried the path if your monitor doesn't support 1280x920 that didn't allow my to apply the uniWS patch either.
  7. Btw thank you so much for answering all of my annoying questions. I followed the UNiWS instructions, but the "Patch" button is greyed out for some reason.

But then I can't enter in a resolution or click patch. Edit: When I click on Steams expand plus sign is disappears.
  8. Kotor 2!

      When they don't freeze all of the time, (circa 2001-2004) :P

      First off, Windows is the problem, not the PC. Second, this should be sent to a thread or PM because it's so long.

  9. So Steam lanuchs without error when wifi is disabled. I don't know if that is because of it or just a coincidence. The only problem now is, how do I get widescreen? The game resolution is constrained to the old timey monitor shape. Edit: Following instructions on guide for widescreen Edit 2: Can a monitor with a max res of 1920x1080 support a 1280x960 resolution?
  10. Steam only starts about 1/10 tries. I think my problem is with installing Steam using the .exe . I would use Winetricks to install it but I get this error when I try and install it "sha1sum mismatch! Rename /Users/jamessullivan/.cache/winetricks/steam/SteamSetup.exe and try again.". After that it says " Winetricks Commands Finished!!". Do you know what would fix this?
  11. I got KOTOR 2 running in full screen and I was playing with the resolution settings and I changed it to the largest resolution and now I can only see the top left piece of the screen and can't changed the resolution settings since my mouse can't leave the screen.
  12. I can get steam to start after restarting the computer but it seems to be able to only run once. When I close it and go to reopen it it gives me the error every time. Restarting the computer allows me to reopen it but after that one time it won't reopen. I am currently downloading KOTOR 2
  13. You can ignore "I'll problem just copy and paste the files from my Mac version of Steam. ". I haven't done that yet and I'm planning on copying and pasting the game files from my Mac version of steam to save time on downloading it. After I double click on KOTOR2.app It brings up a "Checking for Steam updates" window and then its replaced by that error message window after about 5 seconds. I have to force quit the program in order to get it to close after. I haven't changed anything in the Wineskin that wasn't in the guide. Heres a link to a pic of my wineskin options. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tr6o9ot3yctu1jv/Screen%20Shot%202015-04-28%20at%205.34.27%20PM.png?dl=0
  14. It happened right after I installed Steam by using the "Install Software" in the Wine wrapper with SteamSetup.exe. When I look into the Program Files, Steam seems to be fully installed. I haven't gotten Steam working as of yet, so I haven't had the chance to install Kotor 2. I'll problem just copy and paste the files from my Mac version of Steam.
  15. Thanks for the quick response . I understand your answers but can you clarify "Crossover or another wrapper to install Steam (Age of empire I guess? ) there will be no problem at all.". Its a Wine Wrapper and I haven't used touched it at all while I've been trying to get Kotor 2 working. As far as I know they're completely unrelated. I'm having a problem when I double click Knights of the Old Republic 2.app after installing Windows Steam. Steam starts to launch then I get an error. I screen shotted it and the link is down below.

  16. @Lupo_dK Hello. I've followed your instructions success fully until this part. I don't know what you mean by "Now as using windows, go to the kotor2 directory". Now as using windows, go to the kotor2 directory: drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Knights of the old Republic II/ Here you find the original swkotor2.exe. Rename it swkotor2.exe.old, allowing to backup in any moment. Paste squ1zzy’s .exe. Launch the game, go to options and set resolution to 1280x960. Exit game. Also, I've already installed a Windows version of Steam on my mac to play Aoe 2. Does that interfre with this process? Also again, In the wine skin for KOTOR 2.app , under Advanced/Configuration/Windows EXE: what should be in that place, I think I've messed that part up.
