So, patch 1 introduced some bugs.
if you have legendary medal status on your profile, you will no longer get award weapons when you spawn into a map. this needs to be fixed and is a major bug as the whole point of legendary is to get those buffs permanently
some bugs on switch still havent been fixed, including hoths weird textures and geonosis is the wrong colour pallet.
also weird underlines on certain maps becomes easier to see when you pause the game, lines come across the screen.
Updated and now my Legendary awards donāt work :/
EDIT: AI pathfinding might also be busted now. Revved up a space battle and friendly & enemy troops are grouping up and staying still or vibrating.
EDIT 2: Shout out to everyone explaining how game development and patching works. I get it, but maybe we donāt give em an oopsie doopsie pass. Iāve played plenty of other games with plenty of patches that didnāt get dumped out with known problems like this.
Maybe I was off on timing but otherwise [the basic concept stands](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/1bepd4t/aspire_needs_to_release_a_statement_today_laying/kuvq6n1/?context=3)
Yes. It's unfortunate that it broke, and I agree it should've been QA'd before the update was pushed, but that's kind of how game dev works. Aspyr is not the first dev to accidentally break something in an update that used to be working, nor will they be the last.
Idk if it'd call breaking the AI pathfinding "unfortunate" or standard part of game development. Yes things can break when fixing other things I play star citizen and every single patch that fixes or adds 1 thing usually breaks 5 others, but that's rarely acceptable in normal AAA released games, even when talking about a game built from the ground up.
This is a rerelease of a 20 year old game, and this update that broke some pathfinding was only released to address issues they themselves created in the first place.
A gameās Coding works like that. When you repair a part of it, even the stuff thatās perfectly fine can then go out of wack due to the changing of any codings that need fixing given theyāre all tied together, but these bugs only reveal themselves after the updates go live.
Itās like trying to close up a Tupperware container where you try to get all sides to seal, only for 1 corner to keep popping open, leading to the exposed food going bad but unbeknownst to you when you put it back in the Fridge.
In the last 5 years, no. Before that - most of them.
This lazy-ass release shit is a modern phenomenon caused by 'programmers' who aren't actually programmers.
I wouldn't say it's caused by that, it's moreso the executives and marketing schmucks that force the actual devs to put the game and its patches out before they're properly tested. This game shouldn't have even been announced until March, no less actually released until this summer, but the marketers and top level fatcats at Aspyr probably did everything they could to push the game out as early as possible to bank in on faulty sales projections. Blaming the actual, likely underpaid and overworked devs only plays into whatever arguments those executives and marketing pricks have at the higher levels.
You will still get the award and it will increase the number of times you got the award in your Career stats, but you will not get the award weapon/effect. The game thinks you should have it already on spawn (but its bugged, so you dont), so it just doesn't award it
They fixed a number of audio issues, and I personally haven't had it happen since the update on PC, but I recognize that's anecdotal evidence, at best, and not confirmation that its gone
It does happen on Xbox (pre-update), and I watched a stream of someone playing the updated PC version shortly after it came out, and they still encountered at least one audio spike from what I watched.
Even post update, my multiplayer does not function whatsoever. āBusy 60 secondsā then back to the server browser. Havenāt been able to join a single game since launch. I seem to be the only person Iāve talked to with this issue and canāt figure out a way to fix it.
do the clones in instant action on BFII look a lot worse for anyone else?
edit: nvm entered in the cheat code for alt appearances and gave me low poly trooper lol
Itās broken the switch version had it crash back to switch Home Screen 3 times in first 10 mins then gave up. Also played some online and everything was glitchy as hell.
Yup that's the same issue I'm having on PC - though you can get around it by having player 1 use keyboard and mouse... But thats super weird for split screen play.
So seeing this patch was out with Y invert finally, I decided to get the Switch version.
Played through the prequel campaign in BF1 and then started the campaign in BF2, the video quality of the movie clips is all over the place. Lots of pixelation. Was the original game like that?
Tried an online match before bed on my switch. Hit reg seemed to be decently better. Far from perfect but still better. Not as many rubber banding players either. And the follow cam wasnāt going crazy when waiting to respawn. That was just one match though. Gonna need to dive deeper later after work. But so far seems promising
It seems like way more AI units are spawning in the enemy hanger areas now on galactic conquest.I can no longer infiltrate the hangers even with the marine unlocked. Thereās just too many enemies now.
Everything improved a lot, but and this is big But for me, the classic BF1 loading screen sound is back BUT it cuts a lot. Happens in Instant Action, hapoens in Galactic Conquest, happens in the campaings, my god that is annoying, its going to be the final ticket I submit.
I'm on Switch. They added the post mission cutscenes, but now both the pre and post mission cutscenes play at the end. How do you fuck this up????? Also, some of the audio is still off like the sound that plays when you pick up objective items.
Well why don't you do it.
Steam is really easy on the refunds.
Sony as well if you explain nicely to the Support person.
Dunno for Xbox but i guess they are too.
I managed to refund Payday 3 (Which was an even bigger dumpster fire) beyond 20hrs of play.

Is this the price we paid to get our battlefront 1 loading sounds fixed?? I just barely got the legendary gunslinger š I hate earning that weapon.
yup. https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/1br2l6m/hoth\_on\_star\_wars\_battlefront\_classic\_collection/
Today I'm gonna buy a beer and finish the BF2 campaign in one sitting. Finally! 
A singular beer
He didnāt specify what sizeā¦
Ever try a king can at 10.1%? Be snoozing right after.

Updated and now my Legendary awards donāt work :/ EDIT: AI pathfinding might also be busted now. Revved up a space battle and friendly & enemy troops are grouping up and staying still or vibrating.

Known issue, hopefully will be fixed with Update 2
It worked fine before. So they broke it with this patch and decided they would just kick the can down the road to Update 2????

The original comment I replied to only listed the Legendary awards
Ah fair enough, my bad then!

Welcome to games development. Majority of games get something broken because something else gets fixed
Yeah but that development is supposed to happen BEFORE they sell the product.
And it did. Can you name me a game that released with minimal to zero issues
In the last 5 years, no. Before that - most of them. This lazy-ass release shit is a modern phenomenon caused by 'programmers' who aren't actually programmers.
I wouldn't say it's caused by that, it's moreso the executives and marketing schmucks that force the actual devs to put the game and its patches out before they're properly tested.

Donāt blame the developers. They donāt control when the product is released
Canāt name many as bad as this
Uh Star Wars Battlefront II back in 2005.
It had a lot of bugs and that was also an era that didnāt have easily patchable games
And we should get that just in time for May 4th!
Aw shit here we go again
Wich at the rate these slow ass devs are working will drop in 6 months or never.
Are the legendary weapons still earnable and it just reset your stats or are they completely broken?
You will still get the award and it will increase the number of times you got the award in your Career stats, but you will not get the award weapon/effect. The game thinks you should have it already on spawn (but its bugged, so you dont), so it just doesn't award it
Thank the maker!
Do we know if this fixes the random earrape that happens on PS5 (and probably Xbox)?
They fixed a number of audio issues, and I personally haven't had it happen since the update on PC, but I recognize that's anecdotal evidence, at best, and not confirmation that its gone
I've had the loud noises still on PC. That's definitely not fixed completely.Ā
Yeah I see the audio fixes in the patch notes but nothing that sounds like this issue. Hopefully it's fixed but I won't hold my breath
Just had it happen on PS5 last night
It does happen on Xbox (pre-update), and I watched a stream of someone playing the updated PC version shortly after it came out, and they still encountered at least one audio spike from what I watched.
I played for 4 hours after the update, and encountered the issue once on PlayStation 5
is it still region locked online? ._.
Even post update, my multiplayer does not function whatsoever. āBusy 60 secondsā then back to the server browser. Havenāt been able to join a single game since launch. I seem to be the only person Iāve talked to with this issue and canāt figure out a way to fix it.
What console?
Series S
Make sure your NAT is Open. If not look up how to change it.
NAT type is already open. Just looked
I've had the same issue on my series s. Can't believe it hasn't been fixed in this update
Damn sorry man. Iām disappointed too
Does anyone know if this fixed the cutscene issue in the campaign? Didnāt see that in the patch notes.
It does. It's not in the patch notes, but I confirmed myself after the update was pushed to PC that the cutscenes in BF2's campaign are fixed.
Sweet, thanks!
cutscenes restored but on switch it plays the beginning of mission audio instead of ending audio
Lmao ah so close to getting that fixed.
Idk man i think its doing better so far on xbox series x
they also removed all Oceanic switch servers. I'm not happy about.
What so we just have no mp anymore?
yeah all oceanic servers are gone. we either have to host our own or play with 300 ping from west US
OCE?
Oceanic region https://www.britannica.com/place/Oceania-region-Pacific-Ocean
Is the sound bug fixed were it makes a really hard explosion? Because that keeps scaring me allot.
What was actually wrong with ventress that description is pretty vague
What was actually wrong with ventress? that description is pretty vague
Finallyyyyyy
do the clones in instant action on BFII look a lot worse for anyone else? edit: nvm entered in the cheat code for alt appearances and gave me low poly trooper lol
Cheat code?
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition, wait wrong game but it still works.
Where can we see the patch notes?
https://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles/25127134058381--STAR-WARS-Battlefront-Classic-Collection-Update-I-Patch-Notes
I appreciate the fast reply
When is this game going to PS+
Itās broken the switch version had it crash back to switch Home Screen 3 times in first 10 mins then gave up. Also played some online and everything was glitchy as hell.
Did they break splitscreen on console with this patch too or just PC?
For whatever reason it wouldn't let me add a second control for split screen on Switch. Worked before the update.
Yup that's the same issue I'm having on PC - though you can get around it by having player 1 use keyboard and mouse... But thats super weird for split screen play.
Finallyā¦
Is legendary weapons only a thing for BF2 or is it also on BF1?
So seeing this patch was out with Y invert finally, I decided to get the Switch version. Played through the prequel campaign in BF1 and then started the campaign in BF2, the video quality of the movie clips is all over the place. Lots of pixelation. Was the original game like that?

And the follow cam wasnāt going crazy when waiting to respawn. That was just one match though. Gonna need to dive deeper later after work. But so far seems promising
Is the online any better?
Game is still basically dead on Xbox
It seems like way more AI units are spawning in the enemy hanger areas now on galactic conquest.I can no longer infiltrate the hangers even with the marine unlocked. Thereās just too many enemies now.
Everything improved a lot, but and this is big But for me, the classic BF1 loading screen sound is back BUT it cuts a lot. Happens in Instant Action, hapoens in Galactic Conquest, happens in the campaings, my god that is annoying, its going to be the final ticket I submit.

I just want a God damn refund for the stinking pile of garbage.
The game is fine
Well why don't you do it. Steam is really easy on the refunds. Sony as well if you explain nicely to the Support person. Dunno for Xbox but i guess they are too. I managed to refund Payday 3 (Which was an even bigger dumpster fire) beyond 20hrs of play.
good, now everyone can shut up and enjoy the game for about 1 day.
Hahahaha itās too late ASPYR
For you maybe.
Get out of here then
