Mac OS Performance

[Lex Aeterna]

Greetings!

Decided to run this topic to inform people who may want to play this game on Mac OS. Good news: SW:KotOR runs perfectly, even on M1 processor (checked on MacBook Pro).

There is an issue with resolutions (there is only 2 options, no full HD or 2K) but it isn't actually an issue, game is pretty old so this wasn't intended on release time.

Also, if you got any Mac-related questions or hits, feel free to fire them up in this topic.

There is interesting thing left in release version of Mac OS. If you go to the saved games section, you may notice several saves with cheats enabled. I believe this save left by internal developers QA team by mistake.

Fun fact, save named "Game 376", so looks like QA team took at least 376 runs to check performance on Mac.

Hi there, I've been playing KOTOR on Mac OS Catalina, and it's been running great. I then just recently upgraded to Big Sur, and now KOTOR is suuuuper buggy and laggy. The mouse skips around and overall performance makes the game unplayable.

Has anyone run up against this and come up with a fix?

Hi!

Would be definitely useful if you could share specs you are playing on.
