What works
Installer works perfectly, including CD swapping. Launcher works, as does configuration menu. Game itself is playable as long as graphics drivers are up-to-date. It works if launched via the launcher menu or from swkotor.exe.
Uninstalling also works fine, though it seems to take longer than it does on Windows.
What does not
Auto-updater from launcher does not work. Launcher closes and nothing happens when it is selected. In order to patch the game (such as from 1.0 to 1.03), a patch .exe file must be downloaded and manually installed.
Also, game hangs shortly after launch if hardware mouse and movies are enabled. To get the game working, both must be disabled in the configuration menu before launching the game.
Workarounds
What was not tested
