Star Wars Battlefront 2 update: Patch 1.04 arrives on PS4 and Xbox One

The DICE team have now released the official patch notes for Star Wars Battlefront update 1.04, although the name of it might look different on varying platforms.

The new Star Wars Battlefront 2 update is looking to fix lingering issues from the latter stage of game development, including addressing critical gameplay and user interface issues.

The new patch is now available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, weighing in at around 1.50GB.

DICE say they are adding a new MVP screen, as well as some major bug fixes when it comes to some of the game’s’ biggest maps.

Here’s more from the development team: “We will introduce a redesigned End of Round MVP screen – the screen where we highlight the top players of the round in game. 

“With this redesign, we will highlight players based on their score instead of specific “honors”. This means that a larger number of players will have the chance to become highlighted in the End of Round MVP screen.

“We have also focused on doing a pass on collision and traversal issues on Jakku, Kashyyyk, and Endor as well as tweaks to the combat areas on Tatooine, Endor, and Hoth for certain game modes. 

“This means that movement are now more fluent and no weird or invisible barriers are stopping your movement.

“Additionally, players will no longer get an error message when quitting a game.”

While it wasn’t part of today’s update, DICE say that they are hoping to make some balance changes for the Heroes vs. Villains mode in the next patch.
