📋 About This Mod

Description

The function that enables letterbox mode for cutscenes has a fork whether the segment was the first in the scene or came later. The very first letterbox after a level loads (first branch) skipped a specific call that sets up the bottom bar's draw state, while every later letterbox made that call. That's why only the first one of each level was ever broken. This patch adds back in the skipped call while making sure not to interfere with dialogue or being able to skip it.

Installation instructions

This Patcher doesn't need to be installed in your game folder, although it doesn't hurt anything if you want it there. You can use it easily by unzipping the archive and double-clicking Apply Fix.bat. Alternatively, if you'd rather not trust an executable, you can run the patch yourself using Python by following the instructions in the README. You can also easily uninstall the patch by using Revert Fix.bat if there are any issues.

Requirements

  • []KotOR Editable Executable: To get a patchable exe[/]

    []UniWS: to run the game at your widescreen resolution.[/]

    []KotOR High Resolution Menus (the "hires"/k1hrm patcher): for correct widescreen menus and, crucially, the widescreen dialog-letterbox proportion this fix builds on.[/]

    []Then this fix, last.[/]

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solves a specific annoyance for ultrawide players
  • Also fixes subtitle placement, which is a nice bonus
  • Recently updated (June 2026), so likely compatible with current game version

⚠️ Cons

  • Tiny userbase (2 endorsements) — you're an early adopter
  • Requires UniWS, so you need to set that up first
🎯 Is This For You?
For ultrawide monitor owners who are tired of letterbox bars ruining cutscenes. If you're using UniWS already, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you play on standard 16:9 or don't care about cutscene presentation.
