The Knights of the Old Republic II has been out for quite some time now, but it seems as though many gamers are still facing issues with their mouse not working correctly in the game. It’s frustrating to find that you can’t move the camera around and that your character won’t respond to mouse clicks, but fortunately, there are several solutions to this problem that can get you up and running in no time at all. Let’s take a look at some of these solutions below!
Common KOTOR 2 Mouse Problem:
- Disabling Vsync
One way to fix the problem is to disable Vsync. This can be done by going into the in-game settings and turning it off. Doing this may improve your game’s performance and allow you to use your mouse normally. However, it may also introduce screen tearing.
- Disable Steam Overlay
The Steam Overlay can cause issues with games, and sometimes it can even cause the mouse to stop working. To disable the Steam Overlay, open up Steam and go to Settings. Then, click on In-Game and uncheck the Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game box. Save your changes and try launching the game again. If that doesn’t work, try restarting your computer.
- Disabling Hardware Mouse
If you’re having trouble getting your mouse to work in KOTOR 2, there’s a chance that your computer’s hardware mouse is interfering. To disable your hardware mouse, open the Game Options menu from the main game screen. Then, go to the Controls tab and uncheck the Enable Hardware Mouse box. This should fix the problem. If it doesn’t, you can try troubleshooting your computer’s mouse settings.
- Disabling DPI from compatibility.
Go to properties, then go to the compatibility tab. From there, check the Disable display scaling on the high DPI settings box and hit apply. This should fix the problem. If it doesn’t, you can try changing the resolution or playing in windowed mode. If all else fails, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
- Editing the .ini file to disable the movies.
If you’re having trouble getting your mouse to work in KOTOR 2, there’s a fix that involves editing the game’s .ini file. First, you’ll need to find the file. It should be located in your My Documents folder, in a subfolder called LucasArts. Once you’ve found it, open it up in a text editor like Notepad. Next, find the line that says Disable Movies. Change the 1 after that line to a 0, then save and close the file. That should do it!
- Running in windowed mode
One way to fix the mouse not working problem in KOTOR 2 is to run the game in windowed mode. To do this, go to your game’s installation folder and find the file called swkotor2.ini. Open this file in a text editor and find the line that says FullScreen=1. Change the 1 to a 0 and save the file. Then try running the game again. This has worked for many people so take it as a last resort.
