Star Wars Battlefront II Update April 2017

[RichtofenPhD]

Any ideas of what's new in this new update? I mean...it's been almost 10 years since this game was released, and the official server shut down a long time ago (I think so, not sure, couldn't try the multiplayer) so I see no need to update this game. Glad to have your theories on the comment section.

They're _CommonRedist files.
When going here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Battlefront II\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013

You'll notice that those are the files that were updated. Nothing else was.
It's completely harmless and there's no way there would be any malicious files coming from Steam

I wonder what the importance of the files were, though.

It would be awesome if they gave Valve the right to host servers. Battlefront 2 Steam Works edition XD I can dream...
