@EA_AticThat's a shame, because right now an extremely large portion of those I've talked to who bought the game on sale on Steam over the last week are experiencing launch issues on top of these pre-existing bugs. Should really look into why nobody wants to assign a small team to fix this. Had somebody fix "pinballing" (one of the bugs that a vocal portion of the community has complained about pretty much since launch) yesterday because they just casually opened the client code up in Frosty and literally just adjusted the "AfterburnerDriftBoostAccelerationForce" values for all of the starfighters:
X-Wing - 10,000
Y-Wing - 8,000
A-Wing - 13,000
U-Wing - 8,000
B-Wing - 2,000 (this is why the community can't pinball easily in the B-Wing. It's the lowest).
TIE Fighter - 10,000
TIE Bomber - 8,000
TIE Interceptor - 13,000
TIE Reaper - 8,000
TIE Defender - 13,000
Leaving that on the side for a moment, it was one guy, who isn't trained on Frosty, who just found poked around until he found one value. I'm just pointing out that EA should reconsider this stance.
I can count at least three active games with huge problems because of slow support or complete lack-thereof:
STAR WARS: Squadrons
STAR WARS: Battlefront II
Battlefield: 2042
In each and every instance, those games have suffered immensely because of similar problems. It doesn't make the company look great. I don't really see any incentive for customers to keep trusting EA.
@EA_Atic @PowerPaladin541 "Sadly that includes any fixes at the moment." What?? Really?? This is baffling. I just bought this game, paid full price for it, and there are fundamentally broken parts of it (e.g. mouse stuck in top left if you change the in-game resolution setting, won't launch properly). EA is not a small company - it is not acceptable to be selling a full price product EA refuses to fix at all. If this is actually true, @EA_Atic can you point me to where I can get a refund? (p.s. it also keeps crashing.)
- PowerPaladin5413 years agoRising Vanguard@EA_Atic See? Dannuk's frustration with a very legitimate concern and their opinion is the archetypical, foundational, detrimental, and long-lasting type of company image EA is creating for itself. This person didn't even get it from the sale. Speaking frankly, I know you agree with us, and I know you can't say to us that you do because you may get fired. The decision makers need to get called out on this and it needs to get fixed before EA has another round of bad press on its hands.
