Instructions
Instructions

Can't start a new game on AMD GPUs

This issue is present in the original CD release and may also apply to releases patched with the Unofficial Patch.

Instructions
Instructions

Game runs in a window even when set to fullscreen (Steam)

Instructions

Black screen during menu

Instructions

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.

Instructions

HUD is missing or screen has black border

Instructions

Music issues

Music doesn't play or loop or the volume can't be adjusted.

Instructions
Instructions

Low quality sound effects

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

The original 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 and jkgui.zip the force power and item icons.
The larger elements are very different from (and not faithful to) the original designs.
