Hey Paczyk,

I'm a moderator of reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront and a long-time SWBF2 player. I wanted to get in touch with you about resolving the remaining issues with the game's multiplayer, dedicated server support, and various issues in the game (including gameplay bugs and severe security issues) that were never fixed by the original dev team, but were later fixed by various community members. If you and your team are interested, I can provide you with the original game files with these fixes implemented, as well as detailed notes on what was changed. I don't see an option to message you directly on this site, but if you can message me, please do so! You can also message me on reddit (reddit.com/u/kfm946). Thanks!

Bump for this.

Any updates on the situation? I am still pretty excited about this and want this to happen so bad. Hope it works out eventually.

I eventually was able to connect to 2 or 3 games but the ping was horrible and there were barely any players. Seems like the main issue is the location of the servers? I cannot really be sure.

Yeah, I tried to play the multiplayer for 2 weeks now (few attempts per day) and it seems that 100% of the servers are actually in the US. At least I think they are, because whenever I get actually in a server, I have a ping >200 ms and it's basically unplayable.

Bump this. Need fix, totally agreed with folks right above

Bumping this as well, but starting to wonder if the mods are even seeing this thread at all. I know we'd all love an update of any sort at this point

I reached out to the support team for a refund since the game is not working as it should (GOGs fault) and they replied to me with a copy & paste troubleshoot for firewall issues, uPnP, and open NAT. I understand that the support team has to go through some routines before they can take further steps. But at this point, and considering that apparently no one of the support team acknowledges the problem with SWBF2's multiplayer, it's getting ridiculous. No communication, no update, no fix, no ETA - what I learned now is that I shouldn't trust GOG when they announce something is working again. It definitely isn't.

Edit 10/18/17: haven't got any replies since Tuesday now. They either ignore me and hope the problem solves itself, or they really have an update in the line. TIme will tell.

Edit #2 10/20/2017: Finally got it sorted and GOG refunded the game.

This game has had dedicated server support and online long before GOG made a mess of it. Their patched version broke it though, so d/l and install the original classic version from GOG or use your CD installs and replace the exe with this to get multiplayer:

Maybe write in other forum section, where GOG support at least read posts. In General Discussion etc.
It looks like this thread a bit forgotten by them.

there was steam forum recently that claims to have a GOG email that says they COULD be releasing a patch tomorrow.

Thanks pandoran15! These updates are super important to those of us sifting through the forums looking for answers.

Has there been any update on this?

I haven't been able to access ANY multiplayer... Unknown Error.

I guess not. No updates are being downloaded nor I have seen any statement from GoG.

Lies. You are doing nothing.
