To keep the original title updated, Lucasfilm Games released an unexpected patch yesterday. The update was not announced beforehand, nor was it followed by detailed patch notes. Instead, the short description said that the surprising review solved numerous issues related to graphics resolution and driver support in the classic. Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Although the reception from the dedicated community was very positive at first, players soon began to report various issues and issues with the game.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 It’s not the only legacy Pandemic game getting a modern patch treatment. Last year the original Battle front The title has been updated to support multiplayer battles on Steam. The game had suffered from the absence of official multiplayer support since 2012 when GameSpy’s servers were shut down, but thanks to Valve’s surprising initiative last year providing its own online servers, the popular title was gloriously revitalized. The update also included several technical fixes and improvements.
It appears that the recently reassembled Lucasfilm Games brand is trying to give the Star Wars titles deserved love and modern treatment, but in the case of Star Wars: Battlefront 2, good intentions ended up breaking the game completely. It is disappointing to see an update released without internal testing that would have shown a number of issues, which were instead experienced by players. Hopefully, any additional initiatives to update older titles will be more ready for release.
