In case you didn’t know, developer Aspyr just released the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection yesterday, and it even features the multiplayer! Unfortunately, that portion of the game has not been running well, as the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection servers have been hammered, and there’s not a lot of ’em available as well, which has infuriated buyers.
Multiple buyers of the game are not happy, with some calling the ports “lazy” and more. Here are some of the reactions about the game’s servers and multiplayer in general:
This is one of the laziest ports ive ever seen.

That goes on and on on both Twitter and the game’s subreddit. Basically, the Battlefront Classic Collection servers have been un-joinable, and the game crashes so often as well.
We’ve also compiled some of the issues players have reported so far (from both the Reddit community and Steam).

If you’ve yet to play or buy the game, we suggest holding off on it for now. Our review can be read here where we don’t hold back on what’s wrong with it so far. Our own Jack Breitenbach states, “The Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is a delightful and painful romp through old stomping grounds that will likely lose its short-lived luster in a matter of weeks. The good old days are not as good as they seem. It’s time to let the past die.
