Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™ II App Reviews

Aspyr has a new mod already, go to the support site. I just made the hard landing on Telos. Great game, worth a little trouble.

Glad this lovely game made it to the app store! Gameplay is smooth and the graphics look great (running on 2011 MacBook Pro). Only issue I’ve run into is the game crashing at the cutscene to Telos. Anyone else run into this? I’m checking with Aspyr support to see if they have any insight on the issue (and return to enjoying the game!). UPDATE: Just saw that Aspyr support released a notice that an updated version of the restored content mod is available through GameAgent. Seems the mod was the source of the Telos crash issues. Just uninstalled the old mod, installed the updated version and loaded my last save before Telos and everything works fine so far, loading page and everything! Hopefully their fix works for everyone with this issue (and others).

Game is flawless until you leave the Citadel station to land in the restoration zone on Telos, stuck. Please help.

I suggest that everyone should try out this game, but not the last one.

Aspyr released a port of an 11-year-old Xbox game with a crash bug that occurs every single time a player gets to a certain point. This is unacceptable even on a platform with no standards for quality control.

The game was working fine up until I went to leave the Citadel station on Telos and then the game started crashing after the two cut scenes every single time. Many other people have experienced this and there is no viable way to fix this at the current moment which means I am stuck with an unplayable game.

does not boot at all… on macbook retina late 2013

Great game if I could play it.

Please fix immediately! :) Great game, but the first release was plagued with bugs, let’s not have a do over!

Update: I saw the apsyr support notice about the mod being the source of the problem and that there is a new updated version. I reinstalled the mod and the game works fine, on to Dantooine!

When I was younger I loved KOTOR on the Xbox. When it came out on Mac I had to get it, but it didn’t work with external controllers. So I had little hope this would work well with a PS4 controller, but they said it would on the page so I took a chance and I’m stoked to report that it works great. I have a 2013 MBA 11” upgraded with a bit of ram and it runs amazingly smooth, no hiccups or stutters. And I can run it in optimum performance with no lag (though my mac heats up a bit so I tend to run it a hair under just to keep things peachy). Aspyr has really nailed it on this one. Fast load times (I remember waiting forever on my xbox!), great graphics, super peripheral support. If you loved KOTOR II you need to get this; at $6.99 it’s a steal. You’ll spend 25+ hrs exploring the universe and wishing that Bioware still made excellent Star Wars rpg’s.

Finally they add this one to go with the first KOTOR on the App Store. I am already halfway through the game and it is running super smooth on my 2011 MacBook Pro. No crashes or anything. Thanks to Aspyr for releasing it. Now if we could just a Mac plug for Star Wars: The Old Republic……...

The game will boot but is not responsive. Only managed to open, try to click on any number of buttons and the quit in frustration cause only the Next but was working. _____ MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

I love this game but, when I go to the shuttle that lands on the surface of Telos, I see two cut-scenes and than the game crashes. I just want to move on but I tried about ten times and I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing I can do. Is it because of the restored content mod? Or does it always crash there, mod or no? I’m just waiting for an update right now. UPDATE: The mod has been updated and works great now and no longer crashes at Telos.

Kotor II is to Kotor as New Vegas is to Fallout 3. That’s pretty much all you need to know. It’s all there, it’s all enjoyable, but the feel isn’t quite right. The BioWare to Obsidian transition is remarkably consistent in terms of what changes and what stays the same. Decent game, but doesn’t capture the experience of the original. Also, the design and writing is FAR worse.

I sunk countless hours into this game when I was younger, and Aspyr has done a fantastic job with this port. My only complaint is the difficulty of modding the App Store version compared to the Steam version. The App Store version handles its application support files differently (there isn’t even a folder for KOTOR2 in Application Support) which makes it harder to install mods and impossible to enable the cheat console. If there were to be an update that even just enabled cheats (as the restored content mod is provided and far and away the most important anyway) I would gladly change this review to five stars.

Does anyone have the issue of not being able to leave Nar Shadda? It keeps me on the planet and won’t let me go to GOTO’s ship.

This really shows that there’s still people who care and truly want to see KOTOR remain alive in this day and age where crappy games run amok. Thanks, Aspyr. You guys rock, HARD. UPDATE: For those of you stuck on Telos shuttle cuts scene error. You need to remove the Sith MOD and reinstall the updated version. Not completely easy but not entirely hard either. Follow the Support Notes on GameAgent if you bought the App through this store. If you got it on steam then there’s a seperate method. Anyhow, it totally fixes the problem and lets you go on kicking butt as a JEDI. I can’t speak highly enough about this game. A stroll down memory lane.

The game crashes for me upon leaving Citadel Station by Shuttle to go to the restoration zone, during the cutscene that shows the shuttle landing. Every time. I have a brick of a $6.99 Software Purchase and a MacBookPro which is more than capable of running the software.

payed $6 for something that wont work
