Yes, the game was released in '03, so a six year old disk based copy of this game would be
a pre-patched re-release version similar to mine.
- Speaking of GOG. GOG removes all DRM, so any game they sell will not have an DRM related issue.
- What mods ? I suggested two changes to the games graphics setup options which are not available in
the games setup screen. These are game settings, not mods. I did mention not needing them myself, and
the game will run on my Win10 machine with or without Frame Buffering, and either in full screen or windowed,

but apparently one, or both do help some people, so you need to use whichever option works for you.
- Enabling EAX sound on a system that does not use EAX can also crash some games.
- To verify I have no issue with starting a new game after character creation, I just moved my save folder to the desktop (renaming with a 1a at the front as I usually do didn't prevent the game from accessing it),

and I had no problem starting the game from the beginning.
Win10 does block older disk based games that used SafeDisk copy protection, and with these games you
need to use a noCD fix/hack, but this is not one of them.
I just had a look and see KOTR uses SecuROM copy protection, which has plenty of issues on it's own.
One of those issues is, some versions of SecuROM are not compatible with 64bit versions of Windows,
so these games have required using a noCD on any 64bit version of Windows since XP.
- Looking again, it seems I may be using a noCD fix with this game. I just tried to launch the game using the
![]()
LaunchKOTR.exe and it popped up a message to insert the CD, so it looks like I may not have kept a copy of the
noCD fix as I normally do.
Or maybe not ? The noCD fix swkotr.exe is 13.1MB, but the swkotr.exe in my games folder is only 3.85MB.
The noCD fix also comes with a swkotr.bak file which is not present in the games folder.
- However, the game launches without the CD if I use the StarWars-KOTR.exe or the swkotr.exe .
( I also didn't try the swkotr.exe yesterday, and I'd forgotten that you can enable/disable Frame Buffering in the
games menu. It's only the full screen option that requires you to use the .ini file. )
Interestingly, when I use the disk and launch the game with the LaunchKOTR.exe, it either does not start,
or stops loading after the first screen.
- Have you run the Analyse your computer option that comes up with the splash screen when you launch
using the LaunchKOTR.exe ? Are the results positive ?
'graphics card has updated driver information.'
- I don't know what you mean by 'driver information', but if you have not been able to download a
Win10 specific graphics driver from the mfg of the card that you have yet to give the brand and model of
( I doubt any card with only 1GB VRAM has a Win10 driver), your graphics processor
is not likely to be running optimally.
If after running the Analyse your computer option if you get a negative result I reckon not having a proper
Win10 driver would be high probability why. Avast 2018 license key.
The generic driver installed by Win10 is not adequate for gaming, in spite of what MS marketing may say.

gpu actually starts doing some work, may be an indication of this.
- To a lesser extent the same applies to motherboard drivers. The audio, and cpu/chipset drivers in particular.
It is because there are no WIn10 motherboard drivers that my older machine ( AMD PhenomII 965) is still on Win7. Gigabyte does not have Win10 specific chipset or audio drivers for this machines motherboard.
The graphics (GTX770) does have Win10 drivers but, personally, it's just not worth the potential hassle of stuffing around with problems that may result from not having Win10 drivers, and which may not be identified by an
accurate error message that points to a driver issue.
There is enough on a gaming machine without taking unnecessary risks with what is termed
'Legacy' hardware. Win10 just does not have that much going for it, particularly on machines
that are not DX12 capable, to be worth the trouble.

I've had a hard copy of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, aka KOTOR, for probably 8-11 years now. (It originally belonged to/was first played by my dad.) It worked just fine on both Windows XP and Windows 7. I've tried playing with the full screen disabled, disabling the movies, adjusting the color and resolution both separately and together, running the game as an administrator, and running it in every compatability mode available. The troubleshooter proved useless. The only solution online I don't think I've tried is the graphics card one, and I have no idea how to check. How do you check what graphics you have, and which one does KOTOR need to work on Windows 10? If that isn't the problem either, would uninstalling and reinstalling help at all?
Since the first person to reply pointed out I forgot, my problem is that once the launcher pops up and I press 'game' the program starts to load but doesn't even show the first logo screen before a notification that the game stopped working pops up and makes me close the program.
I recently discovered how to make kotor 2 work on windows 10 in full screen. Here are the Steps:
#1 - 'Install' the game in compatibility with Windows XP SP3 or 2.
#2 - Delete the shortcut that was placed on the desktop and replace it with a shortcut directly to the executable file (swkotor2.exe).
#3 - Right click on the new shortcut and go to the compatibility tab. Once there click on the drop down box for compatibility and point to windows xp sp3 or 2 (Depending on which system it worked for you last OR what works for you.) then tick the check box that says 'run this program as an administrator'.
#4 - Do a test of the program just to check to see if it runs or not.
#5 - Install the latest patch for your game.
#6 - Go to graphic while in game then go to advanced graphics options and tick off the 'Frame Buffer Effects' and 'Soft Shadows' settings. Everything else is fine..
#7 - You can now go to the games INI file and switch on fullscreen as you please.
