Anyone else jumping int Star Wars Battlefront 2 again?

[Cully]

Personally i always loved this game but havent played in years so with the recent explosion in people playing i jumped back in and yet again it shows how hard DICE have fallen.
What a great game in so many ways, even as someone like me with little to no knowledge or care for the SW Universe lore the gameplay is just great,butter smooth animations, maps packed with detail but not over cluttered with post processing effects etc, it even has really good weapon progression.

More than anything it just reflects so badly on modern multiplayer games most of which lack so much compared to older titles.
Almost forgot but it still looks amazing today with insane performance on any rig.

I wont link to any of the many YT videos jumping on the bandwagon but some are worth checking out even if just to refresh the memory

Last time I was playing (My last played date is November 2022 - didn't realise it was that long!), the game was dead and matchmaking could rarely find a game so I uninstalled. Another game which if it had a server browser would have kept its player base

I love it, jumped back in today after my bro said it was getting popular again.
Unfortuntely it runs like absolute ass on my 5060ti, must be a driver issue or something.
The game is fine but the menus are all over the place and DX12 mode doesnt work at all.

 

[gettothechopper]

yep

its good for a run and gun for a bit

still a shame though wasted opportunity, could have kept making characters, maps, ships etc for ever - easy dlc moneys for EA, but instead lootbox nonsense and abandon

Still have it installed and still enjoy playing. A very underrated game imo.

Get back on it! Easy matchmaking and lots of good comments in game about how its good to be back!

Must be a driver issue, surely that gpu is well up to the task? ?
Runs great on both my rigs @ 1440P , 7800X3D + RTX 4070 , 8600K + 1080TI

I’m back, cant hit **** but I am back.

Saw my mates playing it weekend downloaded it to try in the week. EA proper screwed the game over at launch etc it could have been so good. But instead GREED!

Still play it from time to time, as it wasn't bad once all the microtransaction stuff was removed.

Unfortunately it seems to be rife with hackers/cheaters at times!

While your probably correct ive played 6 hours over the weekend and didnt notice any crazy high K/D scores.

I liked the first one, don't recall buying the second one, I think it was in Origin, maybe or I am misremembering?

Ah, this is more people deliberately preventing the match from progressing to the next stage, or putting everyone into this weird spectator mode. So far as I can tell, it doesn't advantage anyone, it just stops everyone from playing...

Occasionally I've seen someone with ridiculous K/D, but that's rarer than the above.

Tried this last night but was getting lots of graphical errors on my 5080.

Disable DX12 if you have it on, unplayable with it activated on my 5060ti, still occasionaly some errors on menus but game runs well

 

[Varys]

Re-installed and had a blast (literally). Such great fun and still a fantastic looking game. Only downside is matchmaking, not being able to choose what you play and was waiting ages for a game of Supremecy

It's time Matchmaking was killed off

Also can confirm DX12 is broken - game won't start or if it does there's bad graphical errors and artefacts

I never really stopped playing this game, only stopped for a while bcause of the hackers a while back but that seems to be sorted now. It's still such a beautiful and fun game.

Sadly hackers are still a thing but not just your cheating type, they are now spawning everyone on the server on top of each other and also making it so players are permanently stuck in spectator mode.
Happened me on 6 different matchmade servers yesterday.
Heres one of hundreds of vids on redit.

It's decent if you can have a few cheater free rounds, though I also have the issue where the game will minimise itself randomly.
