Star Wars Battlefront 2 's 2.01 update has arrived as version 1.09 on PS4. The changes aren't substantial this time around, but developers have patched several minor issues discovered in last week's progression rework. Here are the full patch notes courtesy of the game's official forums.
Heroes and Special Units
- Blaster-wielding Heroes and Special Units are now moving at their correct speed again.

Starfighters
- Fixed an issue where some Interceptor Class Star Cards had their rarity levels swapped
General Improvements and Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue with Locked / Unlocked Star Cards showing the incorrect state
- Fixed a stuttering issue with DX11/12 for AMD GPU players during gameplay
- Fixed an issue with players getting a black screen when deploying
- Various crash fixes
Known Issues:
- Darth Maul's Saber Throw ability does not always hit its target
- Sometimes upon completing the Rodian appearance challenge the awarded crate does not display any contents. The Rodian appearance is still awarded as intended.
Some of these issues were first mentioned in the patch notes for the 2.0 update, and now they've been formally addressed. Nothing here that will alter your gameplay experience in drastic ways, but the 600MB of improvements definitely tighten up a few loose screws. Especially if you were frustrated on the movement side, now you'll be able to enjoy the game's new progression system without those minor annoyances.
...
Star Wars Battlefront 2 was updated last Wednesday with a major overhaul to its controversial progression system. While all previously unlocked Star Cards will stay unlocked, the new model prioritizes linear progress over randomized Loot Crates. Crates will now offer Credits and cosmetics, but all gameplay-specific advantages unlock at predetermined level milestones. Starting next month, players will have the option to directly purchase skins, called appearances, using the premium Crystal currency or in-game Credits.
With its progression system now mostly fixed through two updates, player focus can shift back to Battlefront 2's long-dormant second season of multiplayer content. Developers have admitted the content drop was delayed for "soul searching," but that hasn't stopped community members from speculating about the prospect of new Heroes and maps. Some fans feel a Clone Wars or prequel-era update is in order.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. The 2.01 update should be live across all platforms.
