I'm having some trouble with this patch. While playing on the Jasa server or our TF server I can play one game and then it starts screwing up badly. For instance when I spawn I fall through the level or on Endor last night I could only look up at the sky and down at the ground and I had no control of where my guy went. Its all very confusing. :x Anyone know of any cures to my delima?

No one has yet fixed the bug where imperial AI on naboo ignore the IFT-X on the right(facing the rotunda) Has anyone noticed that? ITs not just my system, it happens on the console version too.

can we fix these?

Ok... after waiting three Jedi patient months for a patch--and of all the numerous things I'd love to see fixed before full release--here's what I've found to be must fixes, (please!):

- Game still crashes to desktop at random (albeit very rare). There's no windows error reporting box to close anymore. And, I don't have to reboot my win xp machine in order to restart game and join multiplayer. "Almost there!"

- Autoaim is still on! Hey, I love using my controllers (mouse and Logitech Wingman Strike Force 3D ---> lotsa buttons) Please take this out of multiplayer! Not all server admins are using the /noaim switch.

- 1st person/3rd person view changes frequently without user input! Very prevalent in the snow speeder and starships. Badness... nothing more dangerous then tow roping an ATAT and all the sudden my view is switched. I have my change view set to Joy button 10... which is on my second Hat... so I'm not accidently hitting it.

And, here's a couple of asthetics to address (some found by others):

1. Engine glow on star fighters now flickers.
2. Lasers of all guns miss some frames (are not smooth as before)
3. AT AT heads have some problems in movements (at least with my Geforce 6800)

[#2 & #3 above posted by italegion on swbattlefront.net lucas forum...
http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.p ... did=148157]

Will we ever have a spectator mode? I know I can click my left mouse button when the respawn timer counts down to briefly view other CPs... but, how about a spectator mode please?

And, it probably won't ever happen... but, I wish someone would go ahead and add voice chat some day. Perhaps an ingenious mod? There's nothing more frustrating for me as a gunner, than having a human pilot turn away from the action! It doesn't help at all to send a text chat message. And for anyone mentioning "But, you can use teamspeak or other 3rd party program..." No regular players are going to do that on a wide scale. They will "If" you put it in the game.

Lasers and engine flickers, and ATAT head problems, is this in multiplayer?

reply : this is in MP but drone is already aware of this. in latest test some people have been saying clones are overpowered now? anyone seen this , MP only?

If it was an Xbox controller, was it one of the big controllers that came with the xbox or an after market one that wasn't the big bulky ones that came with the xbox. If anyone else has seen this happen with a controller let me know.

You already have squad commands to tell the pilots to stop the vehicle so you can shoot. The squad commands change with the vehicle class and the position you occupy in the vehicle.
I'm a pc user. Joystick Controller is a Logitech Wingman Strike Force 3D.

I just took the time to create a whole new profile and set the controls up with keyboard & mouse only. Never touching my joystick controller (controller had to be set to neutral in order to set up the keyboard & mouse controls).


I just went into Hoth... grabbed a snow speeder... hit the default "Q" key to switch my view to 3rd person. After about 10 minutes my view switched to 1st person without my input. I was flying across the map straight & level... no acceleration/deceleration... no weapons fire... nada nilch. I hit the "Q" key again to change it back to 3rd person... and the same thing would happen again in less than a minute.

The only thing I did different after 10 minutes of flight in the snow speeder was pick up an AI gunner... as soon as the AI gunner starting shooting and sending our tow rope out... that's when my view started changing to 1st person unexpectedly. But, I've had the same problem in single pilot star fighters like the X-Wing and Tie.

I only see this problem in "Star Fighters." I think it's only when I'm the pilot... I haven't spent enough time as gunner to remember! And, I've never had my view change unexpectedly while playing as "Infantry" or in "Vehicles."

When I mentioned voice chat... I wanted a chance to yell at human pilots not aware of their gunner's position lol!!

Thanks!

The problem of the visual "autoswitch" sometimes happened to me in the 1.2 version too (like today in a pair of matches).
Usually it appear when you start to suffer lag on the server.
And in this case it's not starfighter only, but it change visual with infantry too.

And i use only Keyboard and mouse.

i know that this isnt the best place to put suggestions, but what i wanted to suggest is how about a widescreen option for the game, as its not nice to have to play this game a, in a window and b, fullscreen but stretched out of proportion, just a friendly suggestion that i dont think the devs have picked up on
