DICE has announced that it’s slightly delaying Star Wars Battlefront II‘s October update due to an issue that was identified at the last minute. The update will now release next week but you can read the patch notes below.

CO-OP

  • Made various balancing changes on various CO-OP maps (Kamino, Felucia, Geonosis). Changes include tweaking AI and human player spawn points, adding props for coverage, adjusting number of Command Posts per phase, adjusting the areas of effect around Command Posts etc.

  • Adjusted the spawning rate of enemy Hero AI on CO-OP, by increasing the cooldown in-between spawning.

  • Added scoring when completing a phase on CO-OP.

  • Fixed an issue that would remove the timer when the player would go in an Out-Of-Bounds area, when playing a CO-OP map.

  • Fixed an issue where the intro camera on Naboo and Kamino would occasionally make a jarring movement.

  • Fixed an issue where you could get Separatist Announcer VO at the end of a CO-OP game, if you played as a Wookiee Warrior.

AI

  • Fixed an issue where not all Hero AI would spawn on games of Instant Action.

  • Fixed an issue that would cause AI players to occasionally stand still when standing on the end of a navigable path.

Capital Supremacy

  • Added a panel as the destruction objective on the Reactor Cores on the Republic Attack Cruiser. This is to direct where players can shoot at and where defenders have to keep their attention. Players are now required to shoot at a panel on the Reactor Core to reduce its health.

  • Added a radar icon for the AT-TE on Felucia.

  • Fixed an issue where the Capital Ship VO Announcer would mention Capture Points, even when you return to a Capital Ship after having beaten the first phase.

  • Fixed an issue with increased damage reduction for Clone Commando’s Battle Focus damage reduction. The damage reduction is set to 25%.
