Star Wars Battlefront 2 update 1.19 patch notes is now available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. According to the official Star Wars Battlefront 2 1.19 patch notes, the Squad system update contains fixes for the issues related to server performance, game client bugs, and UI bugs. In addition, Star Wars Battlefront 2 version 1.19 also includes performance and stability improvements. The new Battlefront 2 update size is around 1.6 GB on PC. Also, note that the old Game Servers are now removed. This means that if you are still playing on the Old Clients than eventually there will be no servers. Download the new Client once released and you shouldn’t have this problem.
According to the game developers, the Squad Systemwill allow you to re-join your friends, allies, and the action much quicker than before. If you’re already playing with a group of friends, you will be placed together into a squad. If you join a game on your own, you will be placed into a random squad. When you are defeated, you will have the ability to toggle through a spectator camera. This camera will be focused on one of your squad members and you’ll then have the ability to spawn directly onto them. Want to spawn on a different squad member? Simply toggle through the spectator camera until you find the squad member of your choosing.
The new squad system also grants you the ability to play 2v2 Private Matches of Hero Showdown.
91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps
The 91st Recon Cops were a regiment of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Lead by commander CC-8826, or Neyo, the 91st were involved in many battles across the Clone Wars.
104th “Wolf Pack” Battalion
The Wolfpack was a battalion that active throughout the Clone Wars and known for numerous military operations. On one such encounter, they engaged on a night assault on one of the last remaining outposts of General Grievous.The 104th Battalion can be identified by the iconic Wolf logo that identifies the squad, and the dark blue markings upon their armour.
Ping Site Changes
Star Wars Battlefront 2 1.19 added a new default setting to the ping site option. When you have this selected, the game will attempt to match you to any of the ping sites that you have the best ping to. In the real world, this means that if you are located in Europe and have a good ping to both Frankfurt [FRA] and Dublin [DUB], you could be matched to either one, meaning you should find games a lot quicker.
These changes will start to arrive alongside the September update and further updates will be made in the months after, as we continue to tweak and improve the matchmaking system.
Matchmaking
The two key benefits to the end of round matchmaking will be:
Mixing players up more often. As a result of this, it’s less likely that you will find yourself stuck in a poorly balanced game for more than a few rounds.
We’re changing the matchmaking behavior so it favors filling up existing servers, as opposed to starting new ones. This means that you should join servers that are trending towards being full, as opposed to joining an empty one.
