Seemingly low framerate or stuttering
The game updates camera movement at only 30fps, even though the game runs at 60fps. This gives the appearance of poor performance and can be improved by capping the framerate below 48.

HUD is missing or screen has black border

Music issues
Music doesn't play (after exiting the bar) or doesn't loop or the volume can't be adjusted.

Texture/model enhancements
Mysteries of the Sith Enhanced
- This replaces many models and textures with more detailed ones. Requires the Unofficial Patch.
Instructions |
---|
Mysteries of the Sith Retexture Pack
- This is a texture enhancement pack which can be used alone or in conjunction with Mysteries of the Sith Enhanced. It requires the unofficial patch to be installed.
Instructions |
---|
MOTSE LOD Mod
- This prevents NPCs and textures from being scaled down in quality as you move away, which is very noticeable at higher resolutions. This is recommended regardless of whether you're using the graphics mods above.
Instructions |
---|
- Requires starting a new game, since it replaces all level files, which prevents old save games from loading.
JK HUD Revamp
- Jedi Knight's normal HUD is too small at high resolutions. The HUD revamp mod replaces the default GUI and HUD elements with larger, higher resolution alternatives.
Instructions |

-
jkhud.zip
affects the health and ammo readouts andjkgui.zip
the force power and item icons. - The larger elements are very different from (and not faithful to) the original designs.
