DarthParametric 3,777 Posted August 24, 2017 Unfortunately I don't know what else I can offer. I'm running the game here on Win 10 on a 120Hz monitor and don't have any of the issues you do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djnugent 34 Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Try any or all of the following: EDIT: this was motivated by the fact that I've been dealing with Windows 10 compatibility issues all f-ing day... stupid stuff like stand-alone updates and antiviruses... which should just WORK.... but NNNNOOOOOO..... stupid Windows 10... A: Right click on the Game .exe (usually kotor.exe OR swkotor.exe) - Set compatibility mode for Window XP SP3. B: Uninstall, Reinstall game - BEFORE installing: - Right-Click and open Properties - In the Compatbility Tab, set backwards compatibility to Win XP SP3 and select "Always run as Administrator, then click Apply / Okay - Even when I have the Always run as Admin box checked, I always still Right-Click on the executable and select Run as Administrator -- Windows 10 will do this sometimes - everything looks like it's installing, but won't write certain registry entries unless you actually SELECT to Run as Admin C: Run UniWS patch in Windows XP or Windows 7 compatibility, ALSO run as admin D: Verify (if NOT Steam, Steam downloaded files have their own file structures and protection) that the game file(s) installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\**** - Yet another quirk where 32-bit games won't ALWAYS run correctly unless installed to the 32-bit Program Files folder - this is hit or miss as with some games this doesn't seem to matter while others do. E: Update the graphics drivers - If your display driver says it is a "Generic PnP Monitor", or something similar, you probably don't have a graphics driver installed. F: Lastly, and this one is just a "man, I wish I'd thought of it earlier", when the game is in the Windowed mode and you can click/function in that window, press Alt+Enter - Windows command for going full-screen. *** The moral of this story: Installing an application on Windows 10, especially downloaded files, always run more smoothly if you Right-Click and Run as Administrator. This seems to go for everything - I won't even install anything on a Windows 10 PC without specifically selecting to run as admin *** I hope this helps - these are the general steps I will often take for any installation that is being weird...

Tried everything you suggested. Game refuses to run in full screen, even with alt+enter and after patched with UniWS. I am completely out of ideas and things to try...
