You will inevitably encounter this bug for the first time if you fight against the mine droids in the first lvl on PERAGUS, altough the version we are using is the fully patched (+ „fixed“) version on GoG (or Steam). In this particular representation, this bug is exclusevly in KOTOR 2. STAR WARS™ KOTOR 1 may also experienced some freeze glitches, but those stucked situations were triggered by different softwarecode that is not working together and most importantly, does not encounter you after every battle situation in the game. The „stuck after combat“ bug is caused, because the game engine starts malfunctioning if it as to deal with a combination of high fps and high refresh rate of the used monitor. KOTOR 2 was released in 2004 where 60Hz and around 80fps have been default and the game engine refuses to deal with hardware of the current generation. Higher refreshrates are slowly becoming affordable and the created fps in a game like KOTOR 2 will be massive in 2021. There are already some guides online that have helped some people with this bug, but certainly I was one of the few people where it did not work out with my hardware configuration. I use a PG279Q with G-Sync and 144 Hz, an i7-5820K and a GTX 1080. Started KOTOR 2, loaded my savestate and it worked :) I firmly believe that those people, who still haven’t been able to fix the „stuck after combat“ bug are most likely to use a similar monitor and hardware configration (or better).įirst things first, I did a switcheroo and unplugged my main monitor and used an LG with 1920x1080p and 60Hz instead.

The character was able to walk again after a fight sequence was triggered. So if you use a 60Hz panel yourself, there is a strong chance that you could be able to play KOTOR 2 properly without this bug.

Then again -> Options -> Graphics -> More Options -> enable V-Sync -> Restart the game Start KOTOR 2 from local Library -> Options -> Graphics -> Resolution -> set Resolution to your native monitor resolution but with 60 Hz When V-Sync is enabled, your graphics card will stop pushing out as many frames as it can and starts to sync the frames with the native Hertz (Hz) of your monitor panel.
