This game has me completely hooked now. Really enjoying playing this again, it doesn't suffer from the same (personal) problem as the first game which I've started so many times that I remember everything. And I don't even have a lightsaber yet!
Sounds like your controller is causing issues.
Unplugged my dual shock 4 controller and it stopped. Wtf why add controller support if it breaks the game?
Is the DS4 natively supported by Windows?

No...i think you have to use a program called DS4Windwos or something. Unless its changed.
Its supported by Windows. You have to use ds4windows when games don't support it. Other than camera spinning the ds4 works in kotor2.
Use DS4Windows, sub to the PS prompts mod in the workshop
Also.
Note that this area is inaccessible of you use the Super Skip Peragus mod.
Fair trade off I guess.

Added back into the game by TSLRCM.

That section was awful. It was so difficult - and so boring - that I used cheats to get past it. It completely killed the pacing of the end game, too. Not sure why it's a default inclusion in TSLRCM whereas the droid planet is optional.
Yeah, the way it's currently designed is absurdly tediousbut it's also the main attraction of the mod. And it's worth it to hear all the fun dialogue and bring a ton of closure to the HK plot. But it is a slog, especially if you don't spec HK-47 out just right.
What about Input Mapper? I thought everyone moved to that since it's the sequel to Ds4W
Same issue.
Exact same problem here.
If the camera is spinning like this it straight up DOES NOT WORK lol

Because the Droid planet is way worse. Could've done without the bad fandub and the area is littered with repetitive and long winded fetch quests. It's the only area in the game where I cheated and used fast walking cause of that one fucking corridor you have to reverse like a million times. The lore gained from the area is best just read or summarized in a video, playing that while side level was such a chore.
The biggest problem with the droid planet is that, unlike the HK factory, the game is perfectly complete without it. The puzzles on that planet, all the plot points, etc. were moved to other planets and the game is very intact without it. It's a nice little diversion for die hard fans of the game, but it is truly cut content that was meant to be cut, as opposed to "holy shit we have to release this game in two weeks" cut content.

just get TSLRCM
if you get the Skip Peragus Mod, you can't acces the HK factory mentioned earlier
Why skip Peragus? It's a great level! 
That too. It was simply never meant to be played.
Though, tbh, a lot of the restored content values restoration over... ya know, fun, which is a shame but the game is easy enough that even the slog parts (ie. the end of Nar Shadaa is soooo boring) go by pretty quick. I still love the restored content mod though.

I had the same issue until I also unplugged my controller (mine is a Logitech), as I see you later did. There is a thread on the Steam forums that alerted me to the cause, although only after I tried several things like reinstalling.

Anyone with some tips here?
Yeah, I still don't think it should've been a default inclusion, and with Steam workshop implemented, I think it could afford to be forked off. I think would've rather played the game without it and just read up on it later.
Too bad, but it was cut for a reason.TheBlackMarvel

Urgh, tried running this on my home PC instead of my tablet and now I can start the game! Unfortunately it crashes as soon as I get control of T3-M4. Anyone know a fix?
Anyone know a fix?PC gaming wiki reports no surround sound compatibility, but that could be incorrect.
In other games where I've had this sort of issue it is because the game thinks there are two controllers plugged in, and using things like DS4Windows can accidently cause this. Might be worth looking into.
Not really giving us much information to go on unless you are an avid Mac user.
What is the GPU? I'm guessing Intel HD 4000. Should be fine, this is a very old game after all.

This is an original x-box game, it'll run on just about anything from the last 10 years in some form or another.

So, has Kotor 1 ever been updated? I tried to play it last year and the lack of widescreen REALLY bothered me. If not, I'll just skip it and play Kotor 2 (which I also have).

There are ways to make widescreen work. I played KOTOR 1 in widescreen a few years ago

Awesome. Thanks. I just installed an ssd a few days ao, so I guess I'll make these games my first to play though.
Also, one final uestion, where is the best place to get the content mod for Kotor 2?
Thanks in advance, gaf.

I would guess through the steam workshop unless there's something wrong with that version I don't know about

KOTOR 1 never received an update, there is a widescreen hack available but it involves a cracked exe and is convoluted to implement.
Hopefully Disney is hiring outside studios to update their catalog of games.

Anyone else experiencing a mostly black screen at the main menu after this update? The obsidian and lucas arts splash videos load fine and display over the full screen, but the 3rd splash screen with all the copyright info and main menu only display over the top ~15% of my monitor with the rest of the screen black. I can't select any of the options at the main menu to try and change the resolution. I didn't have any issues with the game before the workshop update, and I've tried completely reinstalling to no change. Any suggestions?
The controls are fucking garbage. Mouse does not scale 1:1 where I'm clicking in the menus, camera spins around endlessly.
Resolution is all fucked up in the cutscenes, like its all zoomed in on the upper left corner.
This shit isn't worth $5.
And there is definitely no 4K support, 1080p is the max option. Might have to ask Steam for a refund.

I can see resolutions above 1080p, but not above my monitor's max.
If your monitor's maximum display resolution is 1080p, then you need to make adjustments at the driver level to enable 4K.
It's a Samsung 28 inch 4k native monitor.

Running in 1440p over here without issues. Although it maxes out at 85 Hz for some silly reason. :\

Make sure you have scaled DPI (or some such compatibility option) is disabled. Right click the exe and hit properties to make sure.
