Widescreen Gaming Forum

A little bump for anyone who is considering getting the game right now.

It's got some problems. Well, a lot of them actually, so I would recommend waiting on this game at least until the first patch has been released.

I've had the same problem as those numerous people on the lucasarts forum: the game freezes absolutely randomly, for no reason at all, sometimes two minutes into the game, sometimes two hours, sometimes not at all.

What a piece of sh*t. There are so many people with different setups having this problem that it has to be a software problem, not hardware. Get with it Lucasarts! Don't release a broken game and no damn patch. This is ridiculous. I want my $50 back.

I've wanted my $50 back ever since Battlefront 1. In part one, there was no widescreen support what so ever (not even through editing the ini or through crack) AND they capped the frames-per-second in the multiplayer to 30fps only!

I hear ya, man. What burns me the most is my 'burning' (hehe) suspicion that this problem was widely known before release. As I mentioned on my post at the Lucasarts Forums, this game underwent extensive beta testing and was even available for premium users of File Planet to download and test out for themselves. If I remember correctly this went on for quite some time. It does also have a few limitations which I suspect are tied to its console brothers and sisters. The game browser for instance needs a serious upgrade.

I don't think we as consumers should have to spend our time troubleshooting problems like this. Hehe, we already spend enough time hacking our .ini files for widescreen. :wink:

I do believe that it is a cool, fun game though, so I will remain open to any fixes. For now I've got the game uninstalled, but I'm still in contact via email with Lucasarts tech support. They suggested updating my nvidia drivers to the latest 8194 set, so I may give that a try and see what happens.

Good game though. When it didn't crash, it ran wonderfully at 1920x1200. Its uninstalled at the moment and I'm waiting for a patch.

They'll fix it. Just a matter of '*&#@($!' WHEN.


Aloha to you mainlanders

Aloha to you too Funch. I try to get to Hilo whenever I can. :D

I've been having some initial success with the game. I reinstalled it on a lark and updated my Nvidia drivers to the 8194 series, taking care to disable my virus protection (AVG Anti-Virus) during installation.

I was pleasantly suprised to discover that the game has not frozen on my during single or multiplayer yet. I'll keep testing though, and let you guys know if anything odd turns up.

Just a little update for anyone who is following this thread. I've managed to play through a good deal of the single player campaign, as well as indulge in lots of multiplayer, with no apparent freezing or hang ups. So, it looks like so far so good, although I'd still recommend waiting for at least the first patch, for fixes and update to the multiplayer content.

For now though i'm a happy camper :D

Hey guys this isn't in the Solutions section ... :?
As I haven't got the game would you mind if I use some of your screenshots when I write up the Solution or do one of you guys want to write the Solution ? .... :wink: :D

I was also curious about getting the game hence I found this thread ... I'm glad it works in widescreen and thanks for the info ... I think I might get this game in the January sales .... :lol:

Hey guys this isn't in the Solutions section ... Confused

Hehe, I was wondering that myself Paddy. Feel free to use the pics I posted in the screenshots forum. It really is a fun game - ground combat, vehicles and space (my favorite)! I sure hope they release a patch sometime soon, it would definitely enhance the whole package.
