Star Wars Battlefront 2 – the newer edition crafted by EA, not the classic 2005 gem from Pandemic – has been battling a torrent of hackers on PC for quite some time. The cries from the community for resolutions have grown louder and more persistent. In a surprising turn of events, an update regarding a potential fix has emerged from an unofficial source – a dedicated custom server team.
As detailed in community reports recently spotlighted by IGN, the PC variant of Battlefront 2 has been grappling with a troublesome hack that blocks players from entering the game’s primary 40-player modes. This glitch has rendered these match types nearly unplayable. The official EA forums have been inundated with requests from players yearning for a solution, and it appears a fix has finally been implemented.
In a post from Kyber, a group focused on building custom servers for the game, it is shared that, “We can now confirm that EA has deployed a server-side fix to prevent some of the exploits from being used to interfere with official game servers.” They add, “While we cannot divulge too many details, we can confirm that they are listening and will continue to work on fixes independently and in collaboration with KYBER and the broader STAR WARS Battlefront II modding community.”
EA itself has not openly commented on this update. However, the notion of developers joining forces with modders to tackle such problems is indeed intriguing. Custom servers might indeed be the lifeline for a game like Battlefront 2 to flourish in the future. Want to explore more? Here are the best Star Wars games you can enjoy right now.
