Star Wars Battlefront: Collection’s First Update Fixes A Long List Of Issues
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection’s first update is here, and it fixes a laundry list of problems fans have experienced with the remasters since launch.
The remastered collection, which includes 2004’s Star Wars: Battlefront and its year-later sequel Star Wars: Battlefront 2, was supposed to bring the classic shooters into the modern age with 64-player online support, improved visuals, formerly Xbox-exclusive DLC, and fan-requested features like the ability to play the popular Hero Assault mode on any ground map. Unfortunately, the game’s launch was plagued with server issues and gameplay bugs, resulting in the title quickly garnering an “Overwhelmingly Negative” average user review score rating on Steam.
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection developer Aspyr Media has stated it will continue to work on addressing server stability and improving its network infrastructure to improve the online multiplayer experience, as well as make additional “server-side” adjustments that don’t require a game update.
