Ok, so I bought KOTOR 1 and installed it with no prob on my laptop. Specs: win8.1 pro - 64 bit, Geforce 940m drivers ver. 376.33), Intel Core i5 2.20GHz, 8GB RAM.
My first launch was a warning I guess? Instead of the main menu there was a blank black screen. It fixed after alt-tabbing the game. I said to myself 'I can live with that' and moved on. Then, some random cutscenes were fully voiced but also blank black screen. Now that is solved by pretending to wanting to exit the game (alt-F4). I think I would be able to live with that also. But then, all of a sudded the game crashes in many moments of the game. I played it for like... 7 hrs? and it had crashed 8-10 times...
And there's the graphic - wtf :D check the image I added. I have no idea what is wrong but it happens quite often and disturbs the gameplay as the "cosmic strings" block the view if a character stands directly in front of one of them.
Can anything be done with any of the issues? Anyone having the same problems? Pls help.
Background apps: gog, firefox and eset, nothing else.

Wow thank you :) my laptop has two cards and the default one was intel, now that I had switched to nvidia there are no cosmic strings or anything :) even at launch the main menu appears like it should :)

Thank you again!
