ACE gameplay difficulty is applied to multiplayer matches

Product: Star Wars: Squadrons
Platform:Steam-PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? jtempelm
Are you playing in VR? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Fleet Battles
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. TLDR if under gameplay options you set difficulty from 'ACE' to 'STORY MODE' you get the campaign aim assist in multiplayer matches. Either ACE aim assist client option is being incorrectly applied (default should be VETERAN) or it is actually setting it to story mode aim assist. Most platyers who tested had it set to ACE, and all reported a remarkable increase in scored hits after the change. It is possible that the effect is only affecting the client interpolation, but kills are definitely getting scored from the hits that otherwise would not have gimbaled on with ACE gameplay difficulty

  • Good catch!! 🙌

    I really respect your keen eyes.

    Probably, dev needs to disable the aim assist in lower difficulty campaign mode.
