Template:Infobox Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (series)
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 (only available as x4 CDs), 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
The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM)
- PCGamingWiki file mirror.
- Restored content information at Star Wars Fanpedia.
- Unlike other KOTOR 2 mods, the TSLRCM does not need to be installed in the
\Override\
folder.[1] - Successfully installed mod will result in updated splash screen.[2]
- Highly recommended patch restores cut content from the game.
- Version 1.8.2 now supports M4-78 Enhancement Project which restores 'droid planet' content.[3]

Video settings
- TweakGuides.com article - a guide to graphics settings published March 2007, a good overview of in-depth information, but somewhat out of date.
Widescreen resolution
- KOTOR2 natively supports 4:3 resolutions only.
- Widescreen fixes will break the minimap location reporting, which can be solved using the minimap fix.[5]
- Widescreen fixes resolutions of 1366x768 and under will not display dialogue option text correctly and are unplayable.[6][7]
Steam widescreen
- Only widescreen hack method which works on Steam version.[8]
- Works by replacing the updated Steam exe to an older one to allow UniWS to work, which reverts to a slightly older version of the game with some bugs.[9]
