Mishioshu: I thought the GOG version of the game would work like a charm but it's the exact same as the Steam version.
Every time the game tries to go to the menu, it crashes on me instantly.
Any simple fixes for this?
Hi,
Are you sure it is actually really crashing? Usually it (just like Knights off the Republic (KOTOR) 2) just minimises while you can still hear the music! The reason for this is that the game is reasonably old and cannot recognise the graphics card / driver. (In a way it kind of runs to mum ;-).) What you can do is for example try and click on the KOTOR icon in the task bar. Sometimes this works. By the way, this minimising can also happen after or before a cinematic is supposed to be played - then all you need to do is click on the KOTOR icon in the taskbar and continue.
It rarely happens that the game really crashes.
I was really surprised that GOG's version worked so well out of the box. I have the retail DVD version (KOTOR 1&2) and they were an absolute nightmare to get to run - in the end I solved the problem by doing what I described under the following:
