isnt this news like 1 year old because i swear ive seen this before [editline]20th October 2015[/editline] nvm apparently this is another update. very good games play them (although kotor 2 being superior)

We got another update like this back in June, but this is entirely new one. That kicks ass. [QUOTE]Fixed an issue with Kreia not disappearing properly on Korriban [/QUOTE] Things like these happened way too much during my playthroughs, especially on Nar Shaddaa. It was also possible to lock your character inside a room on that planet, and you had to load a save to escape. God this game was broken. That being said, this gives me hope that KOTOR 3 is coming.

I'm glad Kotor 2 is getting all these updates. Not so glad that I've only got the physical copy now though :v: I really hope they bring these updates to KotOR 1 too

[quote]• Fixed an issue with sounds continuously repeating after moving away from the sound source[/quote] my prayers have been answered

I'll have to reinstall it. I play on a TV monitor, so the resolution doesn't know what the heck to do. I play at 1366, but it thinks I'm using 1920.

Misleading title and slightly miss leading OP. The massive update was months ago . This is just another update to it.

This KOTOR2 update was only done because they were making a Mobile/Mac version to go along with the already existing KOTOR1 mobile from years ago, they just decided not to limit it to mobile this time around

Achievements? Now I must replay it!

Aspyr did a lot of ports for PC games to Mac years ago, they use to be great but the quality of their ports have gone down recently.

[QUOTE=Makol;48944827]Aspyr did a lot of ports for PC games to Mac years ago, they use to be great but the quality of their ports have gone down recently.[/QUOTE] KOTOR2 has been working just fine for me on Linux, the phone one was solid too. Not really familiar with any of their other ports though.

Their new stuff like Civ 5/Beyond Earth, CoD 4+, Company of Heroes, and Borderlands are really unoptimized. iirc most of their older ports were native but recently they switched over to using Cider/wrappers and those suck.

I just hope we see it on mobile soon, just like KOTOR, that game is an incredibly well done mobile port, so much so it feels like the game was originally meant for mobile

[QUOTE=viperfan7;48957706]I just hope we see it on mobile soon, just like KOTOR, that game is an incredibly well done mobile port, so much so it feels like the game was originally meant for mobile[/QUOTE] I wish KOTOR would get the same treatment on PC.

[QUOTE=JustExtreme;48958178]If you contact their support and say you have physical and send photo proof they'll give you a steam key[/QUOTE] Oh shit, really? I assume you mean Aspyr right? Time to see about contacting them

[QUOTE=JustExtreme;48958178]If you contact their support and say you have physical and send photo proof they'll give you a steam key[/QUOTE] Do copies attached with cd-magazines also count? [t]http://i57.tinypic.com/9bizph.jpg[/t]

Only one way to find out, really!

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;48944238]Also apparently Obsidian are not involved, some company partnered with Disney and LucasArts named Aspyr, who are in charge of this and presumably other game's ports, are the ones responsible.[/QUOTE] Yeah Aspyr are pretty stand up guys. They've done a lot of the AAA ports to Linux/SteamOS recently.
