[The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection has been plagued with various problems since its release Now, developer Aspyr has offered some insight into why

In response to Steam's "overwhelmingly negative" rating of the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, Aspyr thanked players for their feedback and acknowledged that the game suffers from errors

"At launch, we experienced critical errors in our network infrastructure This resulted in incredibly high pings, matchmaking errors, crashes, and servers not showing up in browsers"

The company also said, "[We] are working to address these issues and increase network stability, and we will continue our efforts until the network infrastructure stabilizes to prevent further outages"

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection was released on Steam on Thursday, March 14 The game includes both Star Wars Battlefront 1 and Star Wars Battlefront 2, as well as numerous extras, including additional characters and maps However, as soon as the game was released, players discovered some strange problems For example, the fact that while previous Steam releases of "Battlefront 1" and "Battlefront 2" required only a little over 7 GB each to install the standalone games, the installation required 63 GB of storage space

If the game was successfully installed on a player's machine, only 192 people were able to play it at the same time, despite thousands of downloads at launch

In a statement today, Aspyr claims that the servers were present and ready to accommodate players, but "did not appear in the browser" It is also worth noting that Aspyr did not mention the game's very high storage requirements, despite the fact that many players have complained of this problem

But that's not all Other players have complained in Steam reviews that the game is plagued by audio issues and problems with the controller not working properly Those issues are also not addressed in Aspyr's statement

What is unclear is what will happen next; Aspyr says it is working on a fix, but does not say when all the issues will be resolved He concludes his statement with a request for help from the Steam community in finding further problems

"Please continue to report bugs, errors, or unexpected behavior to our support team via the request form
