So, i've freshly installed KotOR II from my steam account. When the game switches from in game rendering to cut-scene movies and back, I get a black screen. Win-D'ing to desktop then going back in via the task bar solves this, but it means I miss the firs 10 sec of each cut scene. Iv'e tried: on the .exe in windows: Setting the compatibility mode to WIN7, no luck Setting the compatibility mode to WINXP SP3, no luck Setting the High-DPI setting to "Program DPI", no luck Within the game: turning all settings (AF/AA) down (or up) no luck. Frame buffer effects, ditto V-Sync ditto when changing these in game settings the screen goes black and i need to alt-tab in- and out multiple times to see anything at all. Setting then works. Help?
Are you using any mods to add widescreen support? Those can cause quite a lot of issues with cutscenes from what I remember.
no, bog standart fresh off steam, i figured this would work best. think I'll try the TSLRCM mod though, it seems to fix a lot of issues
Tried some different settings this is the only thing that really helps, means it runs in Windowed moda, showing a small bar on top of the screen, i guess that's worth it. • 1. Open the "swkotor2.ini" file (found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II\). 2. Under both [Graphics Options] AND [Display Options], change "Fullscreen=1" to "Fullscreen=0". 3. After that, add the following line under just [Graphics Options]:AllowWindowedMode=1 4. Save and close the file.* * Running the game from the RunGameID icon or Steam desktop shortcut will undo these changes -- so run the game with the "swkotor2.exe" file from now on (found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II\).
