I restored an unedited backup of the exe. turns out i hadn't patched the game to 1.03 after all. :( I thought i had run the manual patch. anyways uniWS worked for me after patching and running uniWS as admin.

Also hacked the movies. everything seems to be working now.

Good to hear.

Rough theory.

The letterboxed scenes behave like anamorphic video that is dependent on the horizontal resolution. When the difference is too great, the picture is scaled too large and the dialog is not displayed properly.

This however, does not explain why 1920x1080 is working. The 1280s are from K2 which I am working on. They work except for 1280x720 which again has the dialog problem.

*1360/768 = 1.77~

*3840/1024 = 3.75

1440/900 = 1.6

1680/1050 = 1.6

1920/1080 = 1.77~

1920/1200 = 1.6

1280/800 = 1.6

1280/768 = 1.66~

*1280/720 = 1.77~

* - Known problem children.


Not the best theory. :D

Hello, I'm running this game at a resolution of 1680x1050 with 1280x1024-HUD and have a problem while using 'Force Speed'.
I get graphical gliches like these ones:


They are various.
What to do now?

What to do now?

I will see if I can dig up a save and test the behavior. Give me some time.

Tested in my native and in 1680x1050 with the 1280x1024 interface with no problems.






Those pics of yours look like artifacts which may be a video card problem.

The first thing I would do is try the game in a 4:3 resolution if possible and see if the problem is still present. If it is try updating video card drivers or maybe see if the card is overheating. You could also try the manual method if your game version is not a US version.

Hope some of this helps.

I used Hex Workshop and what a piece of trash software that was. It won't even find the hex values that are on the screen. Then I ran into the second step which was just a major ass pain that I couldn't get to work because the values listed could not be found. So I punched a hole into my useless widescreen monitor.

Be nice if there was a working program that actually did this for me, "properly". That Universal WS program is about as usefull as Hex Workshop.

Make sure you are using the right executable file. Also check that you are not searching for string values, you want to search for hexadecimal values. Most of the editors seem to default to string as the default search type.

I fixed the motion blur issue with a new beta driver, but now i reinstalled the game and neither uniws+step3 nor step1,2,3 work for me anymore.
I used the hex-editor xvi and edited everything like the tutorial on page 1 told me. 1680x1050.

Step1/Step3 i used the following values
1680 = 0690 => 9006
1050 = 041A => 1A04

Step2

3D 00 04 00 00 B3 29 88 9C 24 D4 01 00 00 74 71 3D 00 05 00 00 74 30 3D 40 06 00 00 => 3D 00 00 00 00 B3 29 88 9C 24 D4 01 00 00 74 71 3D 90 06 00 00 74 30 3D 00 00 00 00


2D C0 03 00 00 74 1A 83 E8 40 => 2D 1A 04 00 00 75 1A 83 E8 00

It's always the same result, with uniws and without, a strange resolution menu:
-1024x768
-1280x1024
-1600x1200
-1024x768
-1280x1024
-1600x1200

(And the corresponding Hz)

I tried the original swkotor.exe and starting the game using my 'Disc 1'.
I tried 2 different cracks and modified them, but same result.

€: lol strange, i tried just using the original swkotor.exe without modifying it and now i get:
-800x600
-1024x768
-1280x1024
-1600x1200
-800x600
-1024x768
-1280x1024
-1600x1200
