KotOR1 hrm widescreen menus not working
I recently downloaded uniws for KotOR 1 (Steam version) and then followed up with the widescreen menus mod. The stuff with uniws seemed go go perfectly fine. But then I went to download the widescreen menus mod.
I put the .bat, .exe, and .pl files in my swkotor game folder, the .bat file but it neither said it was correctly or incorrectly patched. Unlike what it said in the readme, after entering in the necessary info (1920), (1080), (yes), (swkotor.exe), the hires_patcher.exe ran by itself, opened and then closed right away, then the .bat file menu said "press any key to continue..." so I did, and didn't get any error message.
I boot up the game, and the main menu isn't scaled right. It has that grey metal border around it. Same goes for in-game menus. At first that was the only issue, then I tried a "fix" where I went into the properties of the swkotor.exe file (I have the hex editable version of course) and went to compatibility to disable full-screen optimizations and override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: application.
That did nothing except make it so my cursor alignment was way off, and undoing those settings actually didn't do anything to fix it so now my cursor alignment is screwed. I don't have any other mods except the one that gives AI upscaling to the in-game movies so there are no conflicting mods. I'm really hoping someone has a solution because I can't find any online.
