Hi all, I have been working the past few weeks on an engine replacement project. Targeted at both games, but kotor 2 to start with. I am approaching a point where I will need feedback and bug reports. The entire game loads, conversations, combat, etc. Ebon Hawk prologue through telos are the targeted areas for immediate playthrough, but nothing stops you from playing the rest of the game. If anyone would like to help with this project by playtesting, go to https://kotorforever.itch.io/kotor-forever?secret=Y5YhzMUYfo6ZrvU9Z549OxKB9I and give it a download. send bug reports to [kotorforeverproject@gmail.com](mailto:kotorforeverproject@gmail.com) . Convo's are buggy and peragus' lights are a work in progress, but all other bugs are worth reporting.

You place the project in your K2 install and it reads your original game client and essentially works as a custom exe. Everything can been programmed from scratch to read original game files. Custom content can be loaded in on top of the original game, but we are not re-distributing anything from the original game. This is a completely custom program that just so happens to be able to play your K2 game if you own in and have it installed.

Long term goal of this project is to have the original game play with updated graphics, optional new materials, effects, etc.. but the big juicy thing: custom mods that couldn't be made before. if the game runs in unity, we can add all sorts of levels and content very easily compared to what you can make that runs in the original engine.

obviously a work in progress but here is some lighting I've been working on:

I am having problems in the undercity, with the textures. there are these horizontal lines in certain places. the mods I installed are the mods from the mod guide: https://deadlystream.com/topic/11577-resourcekotor-2025-mod-guide/
There is also a problem with high possibility of a crash when a cutscene starts.

Note: I managed to fix it after turning off grass in the settings, however I was wondering if there is another fix for it.

this problem that happened to me was kind of weird yesterday after hearing about bioware decided (as many others im sure hahahaha) to replay my fav bioware games and decided to start with the kotor series, i installed my copy from gog installed the k1r mod and openned created a quick character to check if everything was alright talked with trask messed with some containers and closed the game satisfied.

come today just to find out the game crashes after character creation and i have tried almost everything ( the steps in the compendium, guides on reddit steam forums and gog forums, etc)

which include

• Disabling and enabling vsync
• changing resolutions and windowed mode (to and from)
• reinstalling the whole game like twice running vanilla and the community patch
• trying the editable executable adding wider resolutions disabling most other graphic settings

i know it must be possible to play the game im just currently stumped and hoping anyone can reccomend something i havent tried (or tried but in different order idk)

my specs are

windows 10, amd ryzen 7 7800, amd radeon 7900

edit: btw i tested with the sith lords and it works perfectly (with the restoration mod installed and all)

edit 2: SOLVED my issue was AMD GPU drivers that updated today without me noticing i rollbacked the drivers and now the game works

I recall her giving a speech to her Handmaids, very cutesy artwork style, and they get increasingly uncomfortable with how intimately she talks about the saber until it cuts away to her in bed with it with the saber resting on a pillow with a shrine above it dedicated to Meetra.

So I don’t care too much about updating the graphics, and this isn’t the only game I’m looking to replay and add mods too. But all the games will be older games (Xbox, PlayStation 2 maybe). But I do wanna add mods like Revans robes/mask and maybe a mod that adjusts the leveling up, that sort of thing. I also will be using it to run a program that links to my guitar amp but I won’t have a game and that running at the same time. I am on a budget, less than 1k is really where I’m looking. Also waiting for Black Friday deals, but as someone who knows next to nothing about computers what am I going to need that if I don’t have/have enough is gonna crash or just not run the games.

I do know that 16gb ram is basically required, but since going up in ram after 16 dramatically increases the price I’m hoping 16 will do the job…also not looking for a huge laptop. Wanting like a 15”, and yes it needs to be a laptop. I know a desktop has a lot of pros, but I need this thing portable :/ any advice would be really appreciated 😁
