Game crashes when using AMD graphics

There are two ways to resolve this:
Disable Frame Buffer Effects (this will make certain graphical effects extremely simplistic - e.g. Stealth field)[citation needed] |

Replace the game's atioglxx.dll with a version that works (at the moment, one from Catalyst Display Driver v14.4)[citation needed]

Mods
KotOR 1 Community Patch
- A compilation of essential bugfixes applicable to the latest official patched version of the game.
KotOR 1 Restoration
- Restores small bit of cut content and fixes some remaining bugs.
KotOR 1 Remastered (AI Upscaled) Cutscenes
- Various resolutions of AI-upscaled cinematics to replace the originals. All cinematics are brought to 60fps and are available in 4k, 1440p, 1080p, 768p, and 720p.
- The cutscenes were upscaled using Topaz Gigapixel AI, and interpolated to 60fps using SVP Pro 4. Black bars are used to maintain the aspect ratio of the content while bringing the videos to 16:9 overall.
- If you're using the Steam version, you may need to get a replacement executable to be able to open it with the HEX editor or UniWS, or for the correct values to appear.
Selphadur's Kotor Texture Redux
- Changes vanilla textures to 4x AI upscaled with hand made improvements.
- In the final (v1.0) release almost all game textures (all except GUI, icons, effects and etc. which have problems when extracted or have no benefit from upscaling whatsoever) are replaced with upgraded ones. Current version (v1.1) has more than 2300 textures.
- All alpha channels in textures were checked and copied to new textures.
Complete Character Overhaul - Ultimate HD Pack
- All character textures, upscaled with ESRGAN.
- Has issues with transparency; this can be fixed by manually removing the alpha channels for each individual texture.[8]
