Star Wars Battlefront II Release Notes - Darth Tyranus Hotfix

Hey everyone,

We hope you've been enjoying Count Dooku in Star Wars Battlefront II.

This hotfix includes Dooku's "Dark Ritual" appearance, as seen in episode 13 of The Clone War's "The Lost Missions" season.

We've also made various bug fixes associated with Count Dooku, alongside other improvements to the game.

    YEAH! Great job! :eahigh_file:

    • Fixed an issue where Count Dooku’s lightsaber would not make a sound when ignited at the Beginning of a Heroes Vs. Villains Match.

    I'm lovin' it. 😉

  • Great job coming up with a fast patch. The Dooku update was really well done and didn't add many major bugs to the game!

    Looking forward to February now

  • Indeed, this is one of the smoothest updates yet. Still many bugs infest hero combat, but for me, this was a big step forward even in that regard - I'm finally able to level the new CW heroes in HvV through a much less frustrating experience.

    Also, I never play Arcade, but I might just have to before the hotfix...

    • Fixed an issue where the Officer would eventually make Wookiee noises on Arcade.

    ... because that sounds hilarious.

  • Can you fix the empty lobby bug please? Only been 7 months now. 

  • I am in trouble that I accidentally find some serious bugs/exploits. 😞

    Anyway, I really hope I was wrong.


    • Fixed an issue where the Officer would eventually make Wookiee noises on Arcade.

    Hilarious.

    I like the way it says it would "eventually" happen, as if the officer had had enough and was going to start intimidating people with wookiee sounds.

  • Minor gripe here....I think Dooku needs to be a little bit more thicker in the chest and shoulders a little bigger
