Aspyr has released Update 2 for Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection six weeks after its disastrous launch.
Revealed on the Aspyr website, the patch includes improvements to all versions of the game as well as specific changes for the Steam, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch versions. Aspyr also said it's work on Update 3 "is beginning" but didn't say when fans should expect it, though Update 2 has arrived 37 days after Update 1.
The list of changes is vast, with Update 2 including fixes to myriad problems including missing audio and visuals, overlapping textures, misfiring AI, gameplay not starting properly, lightsabers appearing too bright, the respawn counter getting stuck at one, and much more. Aspyr has also claimed to improve stability in public servers and address myriad instances of crashing.
Steam specific changes include a fix to Xbox button prompts appearing for a PlayStation controller, Villains not spawning on Hero Assault servers, and more. PlayStation received a fix to a fog wall appearing at the edge of players' vision on Kashyyyk, and Switch received a fix for the game force closing when disconnecting a wireless controller. The full patch notes are available below.
Aspyr came under fire over the launch of the highly anticipated Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection after it was plagued with server issues, bugs, and more. The $34.99 Classic Collection — which includes the original two Star Wars: Battlefront games — currently has a "mostly negative" rating on Steam with just 20% of reviews being positive.
