Ah, thanks for that.

Good news as well that they aren't allowing the console certification to slow down the PC patch releases.

Yeah good move.

[blurrywaffles]

This resolves all issues. Now you can all repurchase this and worship its greatness over the originals.

[speedy]

Split screen worked fine and after this patch it’s totally borked. I was happy with the game (since I wasn’t playing online) but now it’s useless.

[MisterJesh]

Its the multiplayer finally playable?

[TheAspieFox]

Can't speak yet on all the graphical changes noted in the patch, but I will note new issues at a cursory play after the patch was applied, from my personal experience with singleplayer/offline:
- The "audio pitched down" now expands to regular infantry voice lines; the previously existing affected audio for the victory/defeat tune, Heroes and Villains, and various environmental audio, is still not resolved.

- The "audio spike" issue, liable to damage one's sanity and ear drums, is not resolved and now expands into ANY explosion, instead of just vehicle destruction noises.

- When completing the "Our Finest Hour" mission in the Campaign (I have a save file on this mission, so it was quick and easy to test), while the cutscene now plays (to Aspyr's "credit", I guess), when you go past the credits and return to the main menu the background video files that would normally play no longer do until restarting the game (at least in my case)

- One of the mission objective dialogues did not trigger in the mission Our Finest Hour

- Loading any Hero Assault match now takes exponentially longer to load, relative to how it was before (which was near instant)

- The "preview" units for factions no longer appear in any game mode, when selecting which team you want to play on.

- General Grievous's lightsabers in the character/class selection screen appear to be turqoise/green, instead of solid blue and green separate.

- Loading Heroes VS Villains matches now takes exponentially longer on the initial load (does not seem to apply to "Restart Mission" from the start menu in-match), relative to how it was before (which was within 3 seconds; now it takes up to 15).

-------------------

On the plus side:
- It seems the Campaign cutscenes have been fully activated/restored.

- The blaster audio for Jango’s pistol/Award pistol now fully works as expected/intended

- The “balcony spawn” (Area 3) issue on the Naboo map seems to have been resolved.

- The BF1 loading chime has been fixed/corrected

They'd have to gut the old net code first and write all new code.

Played a few matches rn for the first time after launch. It plays way better but you can feel there is still netcode slop.

An Update on STAR WARS™: Battlefront Classic Collection
We’d like to thank the Battlefront community for their overwhelming support and feedback for the STAR WARS™ Battlefront Classic Collection release.

At launch, we experienced critical errors with our network infrastructure. The result was incredibly high ping, matchmaking errors, crashes, and servers not appearing in the browser.

Since launch, we’ve been working to address these issues and increase network stability, and we will continue our efforts until our network infrastructure is stabilized to prevent further outages.

Please continue to report bugs, errors, or unexpected behaviors to our support team via our Request Form

[FALL1N1]

This is all great stuff. Did they fix the beam rifle hitbox in BF2 that it doesn’t register headshots?
