Main steps


Step 1 - Download

Grab this borderless tool:
http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/
(west tech solutions by Windowed borderless gaming if the link doesn't work. all the cool kid streamers use it)

Yes I tried:
Flawless Widescreen
Fullscreenizer
Borderless gaming by facepunch.

It's the only one that worked for me.

You'll need Winrar or 7zip to extract the file.

Step 2 - Installation

  • Just grab the .exe and put it in a folder.

  • Launch it, it will create a config file.

  • Launch it again if necessary. It minimizes itself to a monitor icon, you can find it in your taskbar notification tray (right side of taskbar, arrow up).

Step 3 - Process

  • Launch KOTOR 2

  • ALT + ENTER

  • Go into your tray. Hover over "Windowed Borderless gaming"

  • Right click, "Add window (F3)".

  • Restore the game by either clicking on it or ALT + TAB.

  • Press F3.

It should go into borderless mode.

Mouse fix

The mouse may be a little wack. To fix that:

  • Right click on "Windowed Borderless gaming"
  • "Game Settings."
  • Copy these settings.

The main menu will be wack at first but it fixes itself after loading into a game.

Optional steps


Doing this should make the above steps work however from my experience, I didn't need to do this.

Step 1
Edit the swkotor2.ini
You'll find it where you installed your game.

Open it using notepad and just copy and overwrite the following:

[Display Options] FullScreen=0 Disable Movies=0 Disable Intro Movies=0 Sort Modules=1 Width=1920 Height=1080 BitsPerPixels=32 RefreshRate=60 [Graphics Options] ForceSpeed=0 Brightness=57 RefreshRate=60 Height=1080 Width=1920 V-Sync=1 Anisotropy=4 Frame Buffer=1 Anti Aliasing=4 Texture Quality=2 Grass=1 Soft Shadows=0 Shadows=1 EnableHardwareMouse=1 FullScreen=1 DisableVertexBufferObjects=1 AllowWindowedMode=1

Note:
  • I don't disable intro movies due to the possibility of the game crashing.
  • This will overwrite some of your graphic options, if you wish to edit the file manually the only relevant lines to edit are:

[Display Options]. FullScreen=0 Height=1080 Width=1920 [Graphics Options] Height=1080 Width=1920 FullScreen=0 AllowWindowedMode=1 - Add it to the bottom.
Save and exit.
Step 2
  • Right click on the swkotor2.exe
  • Properties
  • Compatibility
  • "Run this program as an Administrator"
Worth mentioning that I am running a modded game, I only use this mod so might help to install it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
