Late happy birthday to Battlefront!

What gdh92 said! That all depends on if this community as a whole continues for that long!   

Woot! Glad to see it's out! Well done on your hard work to make this mod, Giftheck!

Quote from: Giftheck on June 06, 2024, 01:22:35 PMThank you!

It's funny you should mention Naboo, because my Theed Supremacy map can be considered a loose remake of it as it's inspired by the layout. I have actually begun adding stuff to it when I can to bring it even closer.

Ooh. If it's out then I'll have to check it, but if it's not out yet then I'll wait patiently to try the map out. My favourite part of the Naboo map in BF2 2017 is the palace interior.

Damn Giftheck! I'm really liking the look of this!

Question on the side - Do you also plan in the future to demake some BF2 2017 maps? One I'd like to see if Naboo!

Keep up the super awesome work on this!

Damn. They said they wouldn't do that, definitely can't be trusted. I'm glad the KOTOR Remake project was taken off of them.

I've seen a screenshot of 0 servers on both SWBF1 and SWBF2 in the CC. This is horrendous and Aspyr should feel ashamed of letting the games release like this.

I hope Steam start accepting refunds for this game no matter how many hours people have, this is like Cyberpunk except the issues are with multiplayer...

Looks like the MP is in a worst state today than it was the other day:




Not a lot of aspyr servers, sometimes more appear and sometimes they don't appear at all.

I don't know what I just witnessed, but it seems most of the Aspyr dedicated servers for BF2 crashed all at once?

The game DC'd me and when I went to look at the server browser, all of the aspyr servers were gone. I even restarted the game and they were still gone.

I do wonder about that as well. I've only returned to the game recently, mainly when they announced a classic collection was coming out. Battlefront's netcode has always been rubbish, not sure if Aspyr would've been able to completely change the netcode on a "port" budget, but this collection is what I'd call a "soft-remaster", according to what I've heard, most of the textures were put through AI-Upscaling. Not entirely sure if that's true, but I've played for about an hour or 2 today and found that the servers seem to be a lot more stable.

I'm in the camp that I'm glad to have the CC because of the xbox dlc being officially supported now and other stuff, but I do think if the people who are complaining about the game submit feedback to Aspyr that they might actually put in effort to fix the issues. With all the issues surrounding Embracer recently, I wouldn't be surprised if the budgets for certain projects were quite low. 

There's been a new statement from Aspyr Joe about the situation with the multiplayer servers at launch:
https://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles/25019494892429-An-update-on-the-STAR-WARS-Battlefront-Classic-Collection

According to this statement, they experienced critical errors with their network infrastructure at launch.

Good to know your thoughts on it - Personally, my own thoughts are that while the game has issues, I've enjoyed what I've played of it so far. Still, it's not better than the originals, especially if unofficial patch 1.3 never gets updated to work with the CC, then we'd lose a lot of mods that relied on it, (potentially.)

I did go back and play some of the original Battlefront 2 today and had fun as well - I wish there were servers that supported the XBOX DLC mod - which is why I still play the CC because I've enjoyed playing as Ventress in online servers.

Also, I definitely agree that Aspyr messed up on this port, so many issues with it and there's not really any excuse they could use.

Awesome. It'll be nice to have another server to go to that isn't Aspyr servers - Not gonna lie, I have no idea how long Aspyr will keep these servers up for. Touch wood that it's for a long time.

Definitely! I highly appreciate all the work they went through!

Quote from: Ltin on March 14, 2024, 01:42:08 PMThe modding issues I find more concerning. I never messed with mods too much but the fact that as of now none will work on the CC is disappointing. I haven't seen these issues mentioned in the media yet, I wonder is Aspyr may have a response to that.

Mods made for Battlefront 2 seem to still work on the CC version, of course, the only mods that don't work currently were the ones that relied on the v1.3 patch, not sure if or when it'll be ported over, but a few mods I've tried - mainly map mods and some trooper models seem to still work, albeit, not the best.
Edit: And the custom era mods.

Another issue I remember hearing is that the game is missing the end 501st Journal cutscenes for the campaign missions, I haven't actually checked, but apparently they didn't include the end-mission cutscenes or something.

It's not problem, I'm glad to just be here haha
