blackknight-dw Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hello all, I just installed kotor2 on Windows Vista and it doesn't work. I put the CD in, then click "GAME" to start, but all I get is a message window from Vista that KOTOR2 stopped working and have been closed. I tried to re-instal it but still doesn't work. I think that I have issue with file "swkotor2.ini" because it seems incomplete. Could somebody send be a copy of that file please? Thank you black knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyd00d69 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 ok so i got the new swkotor file but i must have put it in the wrong folder or something because now when i try to play the game it says that like it doesnt seem to be properly installed. And I reinstalled it but before i do anything with the new file i was wondering if you could take some time to post a step by step kinda thing so i dont place it in another wrong place.

Bass-GameMaster Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 open up my computer.. go to program files... Lucas Arts>Kotor 2> look for "swkotor2.exe" move it out of the folder and put it somewhere safe, put in the new kotor. But you must make sure you also use the link in the topic I posted and download that new ms32.dll file and do the same with the ms32.dll file as you did with the kotor2.exe ""Savior, conqueror, hero, villain.

Bass-GameMaster Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hmm, are you sure you followed my topic?? Replacing the ms32.dll and the kotor exe with the replacements, and running the new one as admin and xp it should work. ""Savior, conqueror, hero, villain.

Bass-GameMaster Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Turn down all of the settings at that moment, and keep reloading, thats how I solved it ""Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, Revan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I have issue with file "swkotor2.ini" because it seems incomplete. Could somebody send be a copy of that file please? Thank you black knight I have that problem too, but I haven't fixed it, I can only relate the problem between you and me, maybe someone will give us some kind of tip that will help both of us.
