Crash when I try starting a new game [FIXED]

[ZEEEEK]

Any help would be appreciated. I used to play this game on my old computer and i never had a problem. Since i don't have any of my save files on here from my old computer i tried starting a new game. I made a quick character and started. As soon as the loading bar gets filled, the game gives me a black screen and i have to use the task manager to get out of it. Are there any solutions to this problem?

EDIT: I downloaded Kotor 2 and it still doesn't load beyond this point

EDIT 2: Fixed. Turn off Frame buffer effects in advanced graphics tab

Same here, except it just exits out, I dont have to use Task Manager. Bummed out because I bought both KOTOR 1 and 2 and this is happening on both of them.

Turn off Frame Buffer Effects in Advanced options should get the game past character creation. You can also disable the three splash movies at intro by changing their names in the kotor folder if you are having problems start the game.

Yo thanks so much for the help it finally works

And if that still doesn't help: disable Soft Shadows too.

Works perfectly fine now! Thanks :D (I have not tried this on KOTOR 2 yet however)

For those of you having trouble starting the game due to movies being played - go to your steam library SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\swkotor and find the

swconfig.exe

- disable the movies in it and your game should start.
