Skeet1983 1 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Hi guys. My laptop has a native resolution of 2560*1440, and I am hoping I can play K1 in that resolution. I was going to follow this guide: https://www.wsgf.org/article/star-wars-knights-old-republic On that page, I need to download override files for HUD size correction, but my resolution is not listed for the download links. How should I proceed? Has anyone on here been able to get K1 to work on 2560*1440 res? Thoughts and help appreciated Edited February 4, 2022 by Skeet1983 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordMerek 48 Posted February 5, 2022 This process is relatively easily and I've doing it for years. However, what you mentioned is only part of the process. I recommend this procedure: Widescreen Patch The Steam Version of KotOR is encrypted and will not work properly with the Widescreen Patcher without a crack. Use this one and replace in your game folder: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1320-kotor-editable-executable Apply the Universal Widescreen patch via the link below: https://www.wsgf.org/article/universal-widescreen-uniws-patcher Widescreen Patch - Install Steps 1. Run the Utility 2. Choose your game installation folder (not the override) 3. From the drop down menu, select Star Wars: KotOR (1024x768) and write in the boxes your resolution, then click Patch! Run swconfig.exe: set the resolution to the highest, refresh rate to 60 (or higher if you have that option), Texture pack to high, make sure none of the check-boxes are checked except hardware mouse and V-Sync and finally click apply. Next, you need to edit your swkotor.ini. Scroll down to [Graphics Options] and change the width and height to match your monitor resolution. Ex: Width=2560 and Height=1440. High Resolution Menus https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1159-kotor-high-resolution-menus Installation 1. Copy the gui files from one of the ratio folders that match your monitor resolution and drop all 81 items into your override folder. 2. Copy hires_patcher.bat, hires_patcher.exe, and hires_patcher.pl to your game directory folder (the one with the exe, not the override) and run hires_patcher.bat 3. Follow the instructions to patch your swkotor executable (As follows without parenthesis: Width, Height, No, swkotor.exe, and then your done) HD UI Menu Pack https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1226-hd-ui-menu-pack NOTE: This was taken from my KotOR Modding Guide on Steam, tweaked to only include the 3 major things: Widescreen Patch, High Resolution Menus, and the HD UI Menu Pack. I hope this helps! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Help appreciated :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can check this by rick clicking on desktop and clicking Display Options. Under Scale and Layout the Scaling should be 100% and under Advanced Scaling Settings make sure nothing is set except for the "Let Windows try to fix apps so they're not blurry" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have Scaling set to 125%. Is there a way to set Scaling per game, like set it to 100% for Kotor 1, but 125% for everything else? Edit: My laptop's primary graphics uses Nvidia. In the Nvidia Control Panel, I saw an option for Scaling, but not sure what to set it to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whenever you play KotOR make sure it's 100% or it won't look right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
