Hackers Are Destroying Star Wars Battlefront 2 – Here’s What You Need to Know!

Summary

  • Star Wars Battlefront 2 overrun by hackers, rendering online play nearly impossible.
  • EA working on fixing hackers issue in Star Wars Battlefront 2, yet to confirm a solution’s success.

Approximately eight years following its debut, DICE’s “Star Wars Battlefront 2” has been overwhelmed by hackers, making it nearly impossible to enjoy online gameplay. The responsibility now falls on EA to restore the game, “Star Wars Battlefront 2”, to a playable condition.

Launched in 2017, Star Wars Battlefront 2 initially faced a wave of criticism from both players and critics. A significant portion of this backlash targeted the game’s loot box system, which restricted access to many beloved Star Wars characters using randomized loot boxes. While it was theoretically possible for players to earn these characters through regular gameplay, the time required was often prohibitive, making it an unattainable goal for most. Following adjustments made by DICE, players were able to evaluate the gameplay itself more fairly, and generally found it to be of high quality. Over the years since its release, Star Wars Battlefront 2 has developed a dedicated fan base, with a small but passionate community keeping the game active.

Over the past week, discussions on Reddit and EA forums have highlighted that hackers have breached the online multiplayer modes of Star Wars Battlefront 2, most notably Galactic Assault. This intrusion causes players to be unable to respawn, making these game modes virtually unplayable. Lately, the situation has deteriorated further as even those switching between lobbies are finding it hard to locate a lobby without this problem.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is Near-Unplayable Thanks to Hackers

It appears that Electronic Arts (EA) may have acknowledged and taken steps to address some of the issues in Star Wars Battlefront 2. According to a recent post from the Kyber modding project, EA has implemented a server-side fix intended to stop certain exploits from affecting official game servers. However, it’s unclear if this solution completely resolves the problem, as players on Steam servers have offered mixed feedback. At this point, EA has not yet officially verified whether such an update has been released to help improve one of the top Star Wars games.

It seems that there’s no sign yet of the release of Star Wars Battlefront 3 in the near future, making it the second time in its history that the series is left undecided following the release of its second installment. However, the realm of Star Wars video games continues to buzz with activity. On April 19, we can expect the reveal of a tactical Star Wars game developed by Respawn and Bit Reactor. Additionally, at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration convention in Japan, fans will catch their first glimpse of the second DLC for Star Wars Outlaws, titled A Pirate’s Fortune.
