New Star Wars Battlefront 2 Update 1.03 Fixes Broken Post-Game MVP Screen; Here Are The Patch Notes

EA and DICE have detailed the contents of the new update for Star Wars Battlefront II, patch 1.03. It doesn't do much in the way of introducing new features, instead focusing on resolving bugs and making other small tweaks. Perhaps most notably, it addresses complaints about the awards screen presented at the end of a round.

Previously, this screen recognized the player who earned a certain distinction--MVP, most kills, longest killstreak, and so on. Because of the specifics awards that it hands out, this oftentimes results in the screen being dominated by a single player (or sometimes two) who earned all five awards. Update 1.03 makes a change to simply acknowledge players by their score, which means more of them will be recognized.

Spawn points and the combat area on a number of maps have been adjusted, as have some specifics of how objectives can be captured. Most notably, Boba Fett can no longer hover high up in the air and make progress toward capturing an objective. Additionally, some collision issues have also been addressed on Jakku, Endor, and Kashyyyk. "This means that movement [is] now more fluent and no weird or invisible barriers are stopping your movement," DICE said.

Other changes of note include a fix for the error when quitting games, an increase to reinforcements earned after each stage of a Galactic Assault match, and a reduction to the time needed to interact with objectives.

The update is out now to PS4, Xbox One, and PC. You can check out the full patch notes below or on Battlefront's forums. This isn't the only change coming to Battlefront II soon, as The Last Jedi-themed content is on the way to coincide with the movie's release. Additionally, if a dataminer's findings are accurate, cosmetic customization options may be on the way--perhaps to make up for the game's temporary removal of microtransactions.
