Star Wars Battlefront 2 Update 2.0 detailed, adds pre-compilation of DX12 shaders to reduce stuttering

3 Comments

Electronic Arts and DICE have released a new major update for Star Wars Battlefront 2. As promised, this patch makes a lot of changes to its progression system. Star Cards, or any other item impacting gameplay, will only be earned through gameplay and will not be available for purchase.

Furthermore, Crates no longer include Star Cards and cannot be purchased. Crates are earned by logging in daily, completing Milestones, and through timed challenges.

Alongside some balance tweaks, the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Update 2.0 adds Ansel support for Nvidia graphics cards in Arcade, adds pre-compilation of shaders on DX12 to reduce stutter during gameplay, and resolves various crash issues.

This patch will be auto-downloaded from Origin, and you can find below its key general improvements and bugfixes (you can find the full release notes here).
