Kotor 1 Widescreen?

[Skeet1983]

Hi guys. I was wondering if it is possible to play Kotor 1 in 2560*1600 widescreen res? If yes, what all do I need to do? I have the Steam version of Kotor 1. Help greatly appreciated

Hi guys. I did a google search on how to do this. I did the following:

- Ran UniWS with EXE from here, selected 1024*768 for res and put in 2560 and 1600 for width and height

- Downloaded and extracted k1hrm 1.5 files (Ran batch file and extracted 2560*1600 res files to override directory)

- Added the following to swkotor ini file [Graphic Options] and [Game Options] sections of ini:

Width=2560
Height=1600

- Ran game from desktop shortcut

Here is what main menu screen looks like:

What am I doing wrong? If it matters any, Windows 11 Display Scale is set to 125%. If I set Display Scale to 100% the game looks good but I don't want to do that each time I want to play game... Help GREATLY appreciated

Yes, the problem is with DPI scaling.

You can set exceptions to the general DPI scaling by changing the .EXE's property in Windows so that the 125% scaling you set (or any other, for that matters) won't apply to the game. Right-click on swkotor.exe (to find it right click on the game's name found in your Library list of the Steam app and choose Manage -> Browse Local Files) and then choose Properties, then Compatibility, and then Change High DPI settings near the bottom of the window that opened up. In the next window that pops up choose now "Override High DPI scaling behavior".

Said that, I would recommend you use KOTOR Patch Manager to play the game in widescreen and high resolution. Or alternatively, KMRP - KOTOR Modern Restoration Patch.

Good luck!
