Key points
- Commonly referred to as 'KOTOR 2' or 'TSL'.
- Patching restored content and widescreen resolution patching is highly recommended for both retail and Steam versions.
- Steam version has better compatibility than the retail version.
- Retail version installation is cumbersome (available as 4xCDs or 2xDVDs), requires a number of workarounds, and is relatively rare to acquire.
General information
Availability
Collection (retail)
- Knights of the Old Republic Collection is a collection of KOTOR 1 and 2, and is available through Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
Improvements
Official patches
- Not required for Steam version.
- Retail autopatching servers have been shut down, and manual patching is required.[1]
- Installation requires running the patch exe files in Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode as administrator.
- International versions only: 1.0a patch must be installed before 1.0b.

The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM)
- Restored content information at Star Wars Fanpedia.
- Unlike other KOTOR 2 mods, the TSLRCM does not need to be installed in the
\Override\
folder.[2] Simply extract to the root folder of the game. - Successfully installed mod will result in updated splash screen.[3]
- Highly recommended patch restores cut content from the game.
- Version 1.8.2 now supports M4-78 Enhancement Project which restores 'droid planet' content.[4]
