Star Wars Battlefront 2 update 1.03 fixes collision issues, tweaks combat areas, gives Boba Fett a good chiding

By Stephany Nunneley

Update 1.03 is now available for Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Released, today, Star Wars Battlefront 2 update 1.0.3 introduces a redesigned End of Round MVP screen along with fixes various issues pertaining to collision and traversal issues on Jakku, Kashyyyk, and Endor.

These issues were also fixed via tweaks to combat areas on Tatooine, Endor, and Hoth in certain game modes so players would no longer run into “invisible barriers” stopping their movement.

Players will also no longer receive an error message when quitting a game. Also, Boba Fett has been reprimanded for capturing objectives while hovering high above the objective. After promising this will no longer happen, he walked off hanging his head like a kicked puppy.

The redesigned End of Round MVP screen will now highlight players based on score instead of specific “honors”.

“This means that a larger number of players will have the chance to become highlighted in the End of Round MVP screen,” reads the notes.

The live team said upcoming patches will continue to improve the game, and the next update will provide balance changes for the Heroes vs Villains mode.

Today’s update follows Star Wars: Battlefront 2 patch 1.02 which focused on fixing issues such as spawn positions, deleted saves, killstreaks, disappearing lightsabers and other issues seen in the beta.

A detailed list of all the changes made in update 1.03 can be found in the patch notes below. The patch is available now on all platforms.
