The community is here to help, don't worry. :)

I play from Windows, and I have an executable in the game's folder called swconfig.exe. This is the program that configures the game before it starts, and it has a fullscreen/windowed option. If you navigate to the game's folder in your Mac system, you will probably find something similar.

i cant open that file because im on mac :(

[tanner.nolin]

and "command enter/return" does not work.

[txapollo243]

Do you have the native Mac version of the game, or do you have the Windows one and run the game through emulation on your Mac?

[tanner.nolin]

native mac. i downloaded it from here on steam

[txapollo243]

I searched a bit and I think I found a solution here[www.gamefaqs.com].

"KotOR does allow windowed mode, you just need to modify a single file to activate it. In the game's install directory is a file called swkotor.ini. Open that file in Notepad and scroll down to the section marked [Graphics Options]. Under [Graphics Options] add the following line:

AllowWindowedMode=1

Then look for a line that says "FullScreen=1" and change it to "FullScreen=0". Save the file, then run the game, it will now open in a window."

is there anything else i have to do? it is not working :/

[tanner.nolin]

is there anything i can add to the "Set launch options" from the Steam properties drop down menu?

[txapollo243]

there is a "-windowed" parameter that you can add to the set launch options, but it works for Source games only :/

I can confirm that this method works for windows 7 machines. For those that are having trouble. You can find this file in Program files -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> swkotor

Yes, you can play the Steam version of Kotor I on Mac windowed. Instead of the .ini, navigate to:

Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/swkotor/Knights of the Old Republic/Contents/

To get inside Knights of the Old Republic, you will of course need to right click => Show package contents.

Inside the Contents folder you'll find info.plist

You can't open it with textedit, because it's binary. Use a free .plist editor or BBedit available for free here: https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/faqs.html

Once inside, find these two lines:

<key>FullScreenValue</key>
<true/>

<key>WindowedValue</key>
<false/>

Simply change the fullscreen value to false, and the windowed value to true. Save the .plist and reopen the game from steam. It will open in a window.
