Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, a highly anticipated re-release, faced a disastrous launch that led to player backlash, especially on Steam. Modders quickly jumped into action to address the game’s numerous issues, including matchmaking errors, crashes, and servers not appearing in the browser.
One modder, iamashaymin, expressed disappointment as their work was allegedly used in the game without credit. Evidence suggested that content from iamashaymin’s mod was initially included in the game before being replaced by an Aspyr-created version through a last-minute patch.
Despite the challenges, the modding community remains determined to fix the game, compiling a list of issues to be tackled in the coming days. Aspyr, the company behind the re-release, acknowledged the botched launch and attributed critical errors to network infrastructure issues, such as high ping and matchmaking errors.
While Aspyr works to address these problems and improve network stability, modders are confident in their ability to resolve the game’s issues and deliver a better gaming experience. Both parties are actively working to fix remaining issues with Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, striving to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience for all players.
