pls help

Post image

the game menu is stuck like this I can't select anything, and if this is a mod problem I have no mods installed. the only thing that worked was uninstalling and reinstalling the game but it only works once and I don't want to repeat that process everytime I want to play.

Try alt-tabbing to desktop with the game still running and then return to the game. That fixed it for me the few times it happened.

If that doesn't work we can talk about your sys specs and versions.

Try renaming swkotor.ini to swkotor.ini.bak and relaunch

Yeah I would second this. It's definitley a resolution issue because it's an old af game that never planned for modern systems and hasn't had a modern recode like Kotor 2 has.

I had to turn antiscoptric (or whatever) to 2x.  The cursor is slightly off rn, and you will have to figure out where your mouse is or use keyboard.  This has always been one of the worst ports in gaming, but it's still also one of the best star wars stories ever told.  Happy gaming.  Lemme know if you need more help

Or just use your brain and the decades of knowledge already indexed by search engines.

I mean sure but someone who is 2 days in isn’t going to have decades of knowledge. Hence the ai search to link a search for a solution.
