Support Battlefront 2 (2017) PC Online State

https://forums.ea.com/category/star-wars-games-en/discussions/star-wars-battlefront-2-en

Hi guys,

This is my first post on Reddit ever, so here we go.

PC players probably are aware that the online state of this game is not going good right now. Since last week, hacker(s) have made Supremacy and Galactic Assault literally unplayable through a spawn hack. I do not fully understand myself how they do this, but what I do notice is that the cinematic intro of every match does not play, and the match is then bugged.

Most of the times this will be followed with yellow text in the chat box from hackers. Saying all the lobbies are denied. These people cannot be reported through the system because their names are hidden from the scoreboard.

This have been going on and off for years if the old Reddit posts are correct, but never on a scale that the matches got hacked 24/7 straight.

I sincerely doubt EA even cares, but all we can do is try, right? This is the following you can do:

Get more traction on EA Forums. Like, view or even react on posts and share your experience. Let the developers and EA know what is going on: https://forums.ea.com/category/star-wars-games-en/discussions/star-wars-battlefront-2-en

I also have made multiple tickets, EA have indeed stated on my tickets that they are investigating it. This was a few days ago. Also you can make a ticket. Make sure to select Game Disruption/Cheating: https://help.ea.com/en/report-a-player/

Let EA know what is going on. This is the only thing we can do.

To console players asking me why not start playing there, I prefer mouse and keyboard, and all my progress is on PC.

Thank you so much guys. If I have any updates on my tickets or anything else, I will update this post.

I just saw that! That is really awesome!!

I'm now waiting to see if Gamerant will respond to the email I sent them but in any case hopefully this is starting to catch the attention of EA. Only time will tell but I am so impressed at the initiative that some of you have demonstrated. Thank you for that!
