Extreme110 4 Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) So, after re-reading Scorchy's LP and then seeing the incredible amount of progress on TSLRCM, M478-EP and all the new mods, I decided I wanted to play again today. Long story short, I'm stuck. I've tried everything I could and I think I now know the culprit. I have Retail and Steam copies of both games. The problem is that KotORII (both versions) will not start at all, even though it's listed in task manager wasting away 39MBs of RAM. No videos, no error messages, nothing. Interestingly, KotOR plays the logo movie, but then goes back to the desktop. There's still an icon in the taskbar, but clicking on it does nothing, and the preview shows a black screen. I've come to the conclusion, considering that I've finished this game several times on this laptop, that something is wrong with the newest nVIDIA drivers. Reinstalling and restarting hasn't helped, so what I think I need to do is rollback to a previous driver level that supported KotOR/KotORII. That's where I'm stuck. I'm not sure what drivers (that support my card) will also support KotOR. Does anybody have a possible suggestion on where I could find something? My Specs: OS: Windows 7 64-bit CPU: Intel i7 GPU: nVIDIA GeForce GT 630M (I've firmly disabled the Intel 4000) RAM: 8GB I also have a small suspicion that Audio Drivers might be at fault, but I know I haven't updated them since the last time I played the game, so for now I want to focus on the graphics card. Help is appreciated, thank you. EDIT: So, after breaking my nVIDIA drivers and then fixing them, I discovered KotOR1 works fine so long as I use Alt-Enter while the videos are playing. KotORII is still screwed. Damn :/ Edited May 4, 2014 by Extreme110 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Extreme110 4 Posted May 4, 2014 Yeah, bookmarked and always done right before I try play any KotOR install. As it turns out, this computer remembered my settings, but I went ahead, set them to default and then changed them back again just to make sure the settings weren't corrupt. EDIT: Found something strange. After going to swconfig, I discovered it was wrongly reporting my audio device. I uninstalled all audio drivers aside from my nVIDIA and Realtek drivers, and also disabled audio. Game loaded up to a black screen, which is progress. Obviously, this means both my graphics and audio drivers are at fault. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Extreme110 4 Posted July 10, 2014 Sorry for the bump, but I wanted to share the final solution. Install KotOR 1 & KotOR 2. Backup up Mss32.dll and your "Miles" folder in KotOR2 folder. Copy the Mss32.dll and "Miles" folder from KotOR 1 to KotOR2. tl;dr It helps to copy the Miles folder, as well as the .dll file. While it didn't play the menu music, everything else is working perfectly now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
