Forum Discussion
I'm flabbergasted at the reaction time of the people whose responsibility as DICE employees is to fix problems exactly like this one. I've played a popular game on the PC called "League of Legends." The developers of this game pay a great deal of attention to the players of their game. These developers call their company "Riot Games." If this were a game made by Riot Games, this problem would have been found during the beta, and patched/hotfixed IMMEDIATELY as soon as humanly possible. I've been sitting here now for days and weeks checking back on this forum and in the game itself to see if there has been any change or update on the current state of affairs, at all.
If we (players) knew what goes on at DICE, we would then be able to rationalize and understand why this problem happened, and why its taking so very long.
For myself, this bug started out as a major inconvenience. That is me being generous, or putting it lightly. I can't use the default thumbstick setting anywhere nearly as proficiently as I can use Legacy controls. Every time I have tried in the past with other games, I have ended being frustrated and exasperated, because I can't even walk or look at things without seeming like my character has a physical and mental deficiency.
The past history of awesome games that lack Legacy controls has profoundly exacerbated this particular issue with this game, and this is becoming outrageous in my view as a result.
- 10 years agoI imagine that if this particular problem happened with the Default controls, it would have been fixed a long time ago, probably in the beta. It would have never taken this long. But I guess it isn't that big of a deal, because Legacy control users are a minority, so screw them. We'll get around to it. I sincerely hope that isn't the case.
- Anonymous10 years agoGoing to assume that forum moderators are not employees of DICE -- so who knows what DICE is actually aware of. Perhaps we should try contacting employees via LinkedIn?

We need an update, this has gotten beyond absurd.
- 10 years agoI bought the game solely because Legacy sticks were added. And they don't work. Its been weeks. Still no update. This is pathetic.
- 10 years agoI get more pissed off every day about this. THE GAME IS BROKEN. FIX IT ALREADY. I got the Deluxe version on November 17. Today is November 30. That's so far 13 days this game has been BROKEN. That's not even counting the time the game has been BROKEN during the early EA Access. Add that together, and its now approaching a MONTH that this game has been BROKEN. This is absolutely unacceptable. This must be the single greatest thing that I can think of when it comes to gamebreaking developer blunders *inherent in the game's design.*
- 10 years agoThus Reddit user posted this on November 12. Can this get fixes already? Its embarrassing, DICE.
https://m.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/3sjcep/star_wars_battlefront_game_crippling_bug_excuse/ - 10 years agoWhat can (players) possibly do to speed this along? I'm sure I could run over to where ever the devs work and fix this problem in a single day.
I think what bothers me the most is the absence of any ongoing commentary from DICE about this. I think it would easier to bear if there were someone there to answer our questions, or let us know what's happening with the progress of a fix. But, we shouldn't even need that, because problems like this one should be fixed immediately, within a day or two, not weeks or months later. I can't even take the game back to get my money. There isn't even a timeline from DICE, merely an acknowledgement that this is a problem. They haven't said they are even working on it. There's probably no one working on it. And if DICE people aren't allowed to talk about their work, that's some *. There are a lot of concerned people out here, waiting and feeling helpless.
Tomorrow before I go to work, I'm going to make every major gaming news media company aware of this problem that Star Wars: Battlefront has, and its *-poor response to it. I'm sure people out won't look positively on this, or EA/DICE. - Anonymous10 years ago

ANY MORE INFO? IS A PATCH REALLY COMING OUT TODAY?
- 10 years agoI was really hoping there would be a patch thrown in with Jakku. Apparently I was right. But I'm not holding my breath. Can't wait for that first post that somebody can actually confirm that it works.
- Anonymous10 years agoFrom what I can gather, it seems that the patch won't be live until approximately 11pm EST for Xbox One.

CRAINBO

MY LEGACYS CONTROLS WERE CORRECT JUST MOVED VERY VERY SLOW.

- Anonymous10 years agoDid it 45 minutes ago.
- Anonymous10 years agoI use look inversion for looking up and down but it felt like right and left was reversed. Need to compare to cod tonight. Unless someone here can test it out.

Thanks for the posts, please let us know if there are further issues with the Legacy controls.
Sorry that I couldn't answer on this earlier, we needed to wait until the patch notes were confirmed/released. - Anonymous10 years ago
@crainbo have you been paying with default controls while waiting for the patch? Because that happened to me with the beta when I went back to Halo, took me a minute to adjust even though I was terrible with the defaults anyway.
- Anonymous10 years agoYes I have. Still need to test it out but unless I'm wrong, I thought cod and halo had separate x and y choices.
- Anonymous10 years ago
@crainbo pop in COD and look at the control menus, then play for a few minutes. That's what sorted me out. I don't know why it worked, I guess because I have hundreds of hours on COD, but I was able to recalibrate then go right back to Halo no problem. Give it a try.
- Anonymous10 years agoJust installed the patch and verified legacy controls now work! They also added legacy options to vehicles as well (but was unable to try a vehicle). Thank you for getting this fixed!
