1.01: Long pauses while playing with an Intel i845 or i850 chipset motherboard. (Back to Top)

In some cases, you will experience a long pause while playing if you have a motherboard with an Intel i845 or i850 chipset. We have identified this issue and a solution will be available with the 1.01 patch. Until that is available, you can disable sound in the config utility to verify that you are having this issue.

1.02: Unable to select certain resolutions (Back to Top)

KotOR PC supports the following resolutions:

800X600 1024X768 1280X960 1600X1200

Also, the only valid refresh rate selections are:

60 70 72 75 85

If you are using any sort of utility to force certain refresh rates, you may not be able to select that resolution in KotOR and you should disable such utilities before trying to play.

1.03: All stats appearing to be 8 during a levelup (Back to Top)

In rare cases the game will display all stats (such as STR, INT, etc.) as 8 instead of what they really are while leveling up. While we try to reproduce and fix this issue, there is a workaround. Simply save and reload your game before doing the levelup. The variable that is not set correctly should be set correctly after loading your game.

1.04: With a Radeon 9800, Alt-Tabbing out and back into the game will cause the brightness to be reset to default. (Back to Top)

This is a driver issue that we have informed ATI about and we expect to have resolved in a future driver release.

1.05: Lines down characters faces with the latest ATI Catalyst drivers. (Back to Top)

With the recent Catalyst drivers (3.9 and 3.10) lines may appear down the character's faces. This does not happen with the Catalyst 3.8 drivers. This is a driver issue that we have informed ATI about and we expect to have resolved in a future driver release.

1.06: Crashing on Dantooine and Grass is enabled. (Back to Top)

In certain rare situations, your game may crash on Dantooine with Grass enabled. Disabling Grass solves this issue. We have not found a reproducable case with any video card and driver, so if you are experiencing this, please disable the Grass option.
