→ Notes

• This will use the silent GOG installer option, so please note that there will be no output during installation.
• Download KOTOR 1 Community Patch (K1_Community_Patch_v1.10.0.zip, see here) and put it into the same directory as the the installation media.
• The Community Patch installer will ask you for the KOTOR directory path, that will be C:\game
• You may also wish to use the widescreen patch.
• It's recommended to run this at its lowest resolution and upscale it using gamescope, this is an example RunPrefix that you could use to do that:

  gamescope --adaptive-sync --nested-width 800 --nested-height 600 --output-width $DISPLAY_X --output-height $DISPLAY_Y --filter fsr --scaler fit --fullscreen --force-grab-cursor --

  (replace $DISPLAY_X and $DISPLAY_Y with your actual X and Y resolution).
• The game may minimize itself upon starting up while the intro videos play, you can usually fix this by alt-tabbing out of the game window and then back in (sometimes you might need to click on the game window).
• Skipping prerendered cut scenes may cause the game to crash or hang.
• Not all of the framebuffer effects work (the Force Speed blur, for example).
