Bioware's acclaimed Star Wars RPG series, Knights of the Old Republic, has long suffered a major pockmark in the form of the original game's sequel having a buggy, rushed launch on PC in 2005. KOTOR II was left for dead for so long, fans took it upon themselves to fix its problems, at which point they discovered whole swaths of cut content within the game—and famously modded the game to bring those cut bits back.
Even after the mod's launch and continued development, neither the game's publisher Bioware nor the game's original developer Obsidian bothered officially patching the PC version since April 2005—until Tuesday, that is. With no official Web or social media announcement, KOTOR II received its first official patch in over 10 years exclusively on Steam, and the update is crazy huge.
Most importantly, the game now includes direct Steam Workshop mod support, meaning players can download and install the Sith Lords Restored Content Mod with greater ease. Additionally, the game now runs on Linux, OS X, and SteamOS; natively supports PC gamepads; includes achievements and cloud save support; and can be viewed in both widescreen modes and resolutions up to 5K.
