Aspyr has suggested that players resort to cheats for bypassing the cutscene that seems to be causing the unavoidable game crash.
Unfortunately the Switch release of Knights of the Old Republic 2 has a game-breaking bug after a certain cutscene. Developer Aspyr has stated that it is working on a fix.
Aspyr Media also confirms that The Sith Lords Restored Content DLC will also be arriving as a free post-launch update for the game.
