[FIX] Star Map crashes under Proton/WINE
[FIX] Star Map crashes under Proton/WINE
The Kotor1 Community Patch installer isn't actually up to date with the github page. A couple months ago, they updated to include a fix specifically for this! It's unconventional, but find the file that was modified and place it in your override directory.
Step 1: Install Community Patch[deadlystream.com] if you haven't, backup "Override" folder in SteamLibrary/common/swkotor
Step 2: Head to the [Github Commit][github.com] page for the specific file, and download both **plc_starmap.sdl** and **plc_starmap.mdx** by clicking on "view file" in the context menu, then "download raw file".
Step 3: Place both of these files in your SteamLibrary/common/swkotor/Override directory. Overwrite if needed.
Launch game, and it should be fixed. In scenarios where the game would crash due to being around a starmap, it will no longer do so and we all smile and say yipeee thank you community patch members thank you for keeping this cult game alive and functioning even on non-conventional operating systems. Wrote this guide because there were seemingly no other sources of information on this.
