So when I try to start a local MP match against bots in certain levels Star Destroyer for example. The game will hang.

Oddly enough, on my PC I had that problem when I picked certain game mode or game options on the match options menu, most notably the auto cycle maps option.

My kludge workaround has been to start the game in CTF or FFA on Bespin and then use the in-game server control to change the map/mode.
