Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Plagued by Connectivity Issues and Poor Performance
-
The Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection launched on March 14 to mostly negative reviews and server instability that prevented players from connecting to matches.
-
Developer Aspyr acknowledged "critical errors" with their network infrastructure at launch, leading to high ping, crashes, and matchmaking issues. They are working to fix the problems.
-
Reviews cite not just connectivity problems but also lag, lost audio, and sluggish performance in matches. Aspyr's statement did not acknowledge these.
-
This continues a pattern of Aspyr struggling with Star Wars projects like the KOTOR II remaster and remake.
-
The launch day issues come amid major shifts in studio ownership, with Aspyr's owner Embracer Group selling some of its studios on the same day as the Collection's launch.
