Star Wars: Battlefront 2 fans are raising the game from the dead seemingly through sheer force of will, but that hasn't stopped hackers from trying to ruin the fun

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has seen a remarkable resurgence over the past month or so, with community enthusiasm building to the kinds of player counts the game hadn't seen in years. It's a feel-good story about a community managing to revitalize an old favorite – excep🏅t for the part where hackers are still trying to ruin everything.

While the console versions of Battlefront 2 are fine by all accounts, the PC version has been plagued by hackers for some time. Just last month, the community devs behind the Kyber custom se﷽rver project reported that EA had "deployed a server-side fix to stop key exploits," but that doesn't seem 🔴to have fully corrected the issues.

of if you players the hacking problem, but the video below from streamer penguinz0 is a pretty clear illustration of the problem. You won't find a hacker in every single match, but you will run into them frequently enough to make it very difficult to consistently enjoy the game on PC.

A major streamer is likely to face the extra issue of stream sniping, but it's clear this issue is affecting regular player🐈s, too. The hacks remain especially prevalent in the core 40-player modes, and that's a pretty big impediment to playing the game.

The fan campaign to get Battlefront 2 back in the spotlight has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:been accompanied bꦚy calls for Battlefront 3, but this all comes as EA is canceling other big licensed games and reiterating plans to focus on a small number of franchiseꦍs. Maybe there's still somebody left at EA who can ꦚget some kind of anti-cheat update going, but while I have my fingers crossed I do not have my breath held.

Fans want Star Wars Battlefront 3 so bad that they've pushed Battlefront 2 to an all-time Steam peak 8 years after launch and even mocked up a menu for a third game on their own.
