Originally released in 2005, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is currently broken on Nintendo Switch. A major bug prevents players from finishing it.
We knew the badly finished video games, or not finished at all. We did not yet know the ports of old video games completely broken. In a tweet posted on June 20, 2022the Aspyr studio has confirmed that a bug is currently affecting the Nintendo Switch version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords — the port of an RPG dating from 2005. The bug in question is more than annoying: it simply prevents progress and, therefore, the game from being completed.
” There is a known issue that will be fixed in the next update. Although we are unable to provide you with a date at this time, we will let you know when it becomes available “says the company. Victims of the problem can follow this page to find out about the progress of the case. A priori, they must take their troubles patiently.
No one can finish Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II on Nintendo Switch
According to various reports, the bug appears during a cutscene called “Basilisk Crash”, when arriving on the planet Onderon. The problem? According to a Kotaku article published on June 20, this sequence takes place about halfway through the game – which deprives players of a good part of the story of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords.
Note that it took a user to call Aspyr several times to get a concrete answer. The developers initially downplayed the situation. ” In all transparency, you know that there is currently no way to complete the game? ended up asking Daniel Moorewho got a “ yes ” as an answer. For the time being, Aspyr does not mention any form of compensation for the inconvenience caused.
This bug is very embarrassing for the studio, because Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is not a recent game at all, but a simple port. The team in charge of quality control should theoretically have noticed the problem before the game was released (on June 8). Everything suggests that there was negligence during production. Still, Aspyr is supposed to be an exercise specialist. ” We find the best games in the world and connect them to a new audience “, indicates the firm on its official website.
