Can't read text

[nivo]

I just purchased and installed KOTOR2 this weekend. I installed it with no problem, went to start the game up, can read everything fine, till it gets to the first options screen. Where you choose new game, load game etc. I can't read any of those words, not sure how to describe them, other than to say I am unable to read them (very blocky looking). When I select a new game or options and I hover over the different buttons, I can read the descriptions fine in the green boxes.

 

I have an NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT as my card, 2 gigs of ram and my Processor: Intel

THanks for the suggestion. I closed all programs that I had running in the background including my antivirus and still got the same result.

Can you actually play the game? Is the character speech-text also garbled, or is just those main menus?

Tried different drivers etc?

 

Sounds strange...

Just going over the basic answers here;

 

Tried re-installing?

Disabling one of your cores (KOTOR dislikes dual-cores)?

[Bass-GameMaster]

Sounds kind of like a resolution error? or even it wasnt installed right... Since you havent played it yet I recommend reinstalling.

I am encountering the EXACT same problem.

 

I have tried uninstalling - reinstalling.

 

I have tried messing with every resolution setting I can think of in the .ini files.

 

The initial load screen is fine, but once I click on "game" and it does the all the CGI bumps for lucasarts, obsidian, then for kotor2, it goes to the main page which I cannot read a damn thing! I can click on stuff all i want (for example, I know the top button is "new game" and the bottom button is "exit") I just cant read the text!

 

The only thing that I have changed on my PC is I went from a 19" LCD, to a 25.5" widescreen LCD.

 

Is there some sort of widescreen mode that needs to be enabled?

 

I am uploading a JPEG or two so you can see what I am talking about.

 

Please help! I got bored waiting for WOW's expansion and I want to play KOTOR2 again!!!!

Got a response back from LucasArts stating that the most recent NVidia drivers (Dated July 05, 2008) fix this issue.

 

I downloaded the drivers, and BAM! I can read it!

 

The force is strong with this one!

[Bass-GameMaster]

They beat me to the punch, I just read that a couple minutes ago.
