KOTOR 2 has been around since 2003, but its age isn’t the only reason that people aren’t playing it as much as they used to. A lot of the achievements simply aren’t working anymore due to an unknown cause, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to fix them. However, there are still many people who want to get 100% completion in KOTOR 2, and we think that everyone should be able to enjoy this game without having the achievements be their roadblock.
How to Fix KOTOR 2 Achievements Not Working?
- Delete Mods
The first thing you should do if your KOTOR 2 achievements aren’t working is to delete any mods you have installed. Mods can sometimes interfere with achievements, so it’s best to get rid of them. To do this, go to your Documents\LucasArts\SWKotOR2 folder and delete the override folder. This will remove all mods from the game. This should fix the problem as it has been reported by many people in the community.
- Verify Game file Integrity
if your KOTOR 2 achievements aren’t working then try to verify the game file integrity. To do this, open up Steam and right-click on Knights of the Old Republic II in your library. Select Properties and then go to the Local Files tab. From here, click Verify Integrity of Game Cache. This process will take a few minutes, but it will ensure that your game files are all in order.
- Reinstall Steam
This will delete all of your local data, so make sure to back up any saved files or other data you don’t want to lose first. To do this, go to Steam’s installation directory and delete everything except for the Steamapps folder and the Steam.exe file. Once that’s done, restart your computer and then run Steam.exe to reinstall steam. After that, try launching KOTOR 2 again and see if the achievements are working.
- Reinstall the game
Sometimes, the only way to fix a game that’s not working is to uninstall it and then reinstall it. This can be a pain, but it’s often worth it in the end. Plus, if you have any mods or patches installed, they may also need to be uninstalled and then reinstalled. Here’s how to do it
