[KOTOR 2] Minor issue caused by UniWS

[SalaciousCrumb]

Patching the game with UniWS causes the GUI to display three thin horizontal lines that shouldn't be there. Could this be fixed?

This is an extremely minor issue, would never have noticed it if you hadn't made this topic. I dare say, likely not worth the effort it would take to fix it whilst both games have other issues.

Yeah, you're right.

 

On another note, I noticed there are missing water effects in the Aspyr version. It's unbelievable how many things the update broke.

To be honest, I've never had to use the UniWS for TSL...only for KOTOR1. 

 

There are a ton of instructions on how to manually set the resolutions via the swkotor2.ini file. Also, I recommend either downloading the upscaled HD .bik movie files OR download and install the RadVideoTool and upscale the videos yourself. This helps if for no other reason than your PC won't have to run multiple processes in the background while it's running your game. 

 

2 notes:

1. If your system is running with a really good processor, then the previous statement about multiple processes doesn't really mean much as a good processor should be able to handle it without issue.

 

2. If you're converting the videos yourself, then understand it can take DAYS to get through them all, AND when you're done the video files will be enormous. I have a 6-core 3.6 Ghz AMD processor, and it took about 2 full days to convert them all to 1920 x 1080. If you're running with an Intel Processor with Hyper-threading, it shouldn't take NEARLY that long.

I know that pan regarding the conversions.  It's how I did most of the original pre-made BIKs for KOTOR2 in this playlist.  (Well, original to the game, not the new stuff that I created - but I think you all know what I mean.)

Yeah.... my internet download speeds at the time were so slow that it was actually faster to just convert them myself instead of trying to download the huge HD files... not as much of a problem now, but you get it. It was the first time I had personally witnessed the significance of Hyper-Threading technology...and the first time ever I had wished that I had one...
