The Nintendo Switch port of Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic has received a much-needed patch that also includes some fun cheat options.
For players of Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic on Switch, the biggest bad in the galaxy isn’t Darth Malak, Dark Vader, Emporer Palpatine, Supreme Leader Snoke, or even Jar Jar Binks. It’s the massive text box that covers the screen with the following message every time you enter combat:
“Combat Mode Engaged. Press the Disengage button to cancel.”
It’s the only wrinkle in an otherwise splendid port of BioWare’s classic sci-fi RPG.
Developer Aspyr Media promised to resize the text box late last year. And, following the release of a new patch, reduced to a more reasonable size the text box has been.
Update 1.0.2 also adds some fun cheat options. If you click the left stick three times during gameplay, you can adjust any feat, power or skill, add experience, turn on Turbo Speed, or spawn an item. Screenshot mode and a flight camera can also be toggled on and off.
Several other bugs are also addressed in the update. Here are the full patch notes.
