The developers of 'STAR WARS™ Battlefront Classic Collection' have thanked fans for their "support" amid launch issues.
The collection of the first two entries from the original gaming franchise - which is based on the hit film series created by George Lucas - had been ported to modern platforms and released on Thursday (14.03.24) to a number of issues online including errors and crashes but developers Aspyr have now insisted that they will "continue their efforts" until the problem are solved.
In a statement, Aspyr said: "We’d like to thank the Battlefront community for their overwhelming support and feedback for the STAR WARS™ Battlefront Classic Collection release. At launch, we experienced critical errors with our network infrastructure. The result was incredibly high ping, matchmaking errors, crashes, and servers not appearing in the browser.
"Since launch, we’ve been working to address these issues and increase network stability, and we will continue our efforts until our network infrastructure is stabilized to prevent further outages.
Please continue to report bugs, errors, or unexpected behaviors to our support team via our Request Form."
