'Star Wars: Battlefront' Beta Extended, PC Issues Fixed
"Star Wars: Battlefront" is intentionally groomed to make an impact to the gaming world that DICE thinks they need to extend the game's beta version in order to fully cover any revisions needed within the game.
However, according to Attack of the Fan Boy, some sacrifices has to be made, including the game's resolution, in order to get the targeted 60fps on all platforms.
Johan Andersson of Frostbite engine said in his Twitter account "Frame rate and fidelity is indeed king, don't want to sacrifice it for resolution but a choice each game team does."
Also, in a bid to improve any revision, the game's beta version has also been extended until Oct. 13 instead of its original schedule on Oct. 12.
In a statement from Sledgehammer70 on the "Star Wars: Battlefront" website, the community manager said, "These additional tests will start on Monday, October 12 and will run thru Tuesday, October 13, which will add an additional day to the open beta. These tests are to help us find some extreme scenarios, and that means some players may experience sone occasional issues such as being kicked off from the game or losing connectivity. This is all being done in the name of shoring up our infrastructure before we launch on November 17." The statement also encouraged players to continue giving their feedback on the "Star Wars: Battlefront" beta version.
The "Star Wars: Battlefront" beta was launched last Oct. 8 and has been made available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC for free.
Meanwhile, some of the issues that were encountered, especially those playing the PC version, included black screen, unavailable servers, missing DLL and unable to continue after pressing enter.
Gamepur, on the other hand, provided some helping tools and techniques on how to dodge the glitches.
The party system intended for multiple players has also been featured but is not working properly. The common problem that will meet players on the party system is not being able to play on the same server as their friends.
"Star Wars: Battlefront" is a major release from the series itself, which is why it is understandable that DICE wants to release it in its best concept yet.
Overall, according to IGN, DICE's move to extend the beta version of the game is for technical testing, this is why it is important to note that along with the technical tests comes connectivity and playtime issues, all for the betterment of the game.
