The Twitch streamer shroud played Star Wars Battlefront 2, but had to uninstall the game in frustration after a short time.
What is currently going on with Battlefront 2? With the start of the second season of the “Star Wars” series “Andor” at the end of April and the franchise celebrations on May 4th, Star Wars Battlefront 2 has gained new momentum. The number of players in the shooter increased significantly.
With the hype came the demand for a successor, Star Wars Battlefront 3. Although the chances for a third part of the series are currently slim, fans are not discouraged from hoping for a sequel.
Now the well-known Twitch streamer shroud has also jumped on the hype of Battlefront 2 but had little fun doing so.
Nasty players ruin the fun, making it impossible to play
Why didn’t shroud have fun? shroud, along with some other streamers, played the PvP area of Battlefront 2, but he encountered the toxic side of the community there.
Again and again, one or more players crashed the respective server on which the streamers were playing. At times, they couldn’t even get past the loading screen at the beginning of a match.
A member of the chat informed one of the streamers that there was an exploit in Battlefront 2 that allowed joining other players if you knew the target’s name. Once they knew the server on which the squad was playing, they would crash it with prohibited third-party software.
This is what shroud says about the situation: At some point, the streamers had enough and realized that there was no solution to the problem. They are hunted in every single round and the servers are crashed – so they uninstalled the game. shroud summarized the situation for his viewers as follows:
“If you’re wondering how Battlefront 2 went: We could only play coop because the moment we played PvP, we were taken down by someone [Note from the editor: meaning the servers were crashed]. So I uninstalled the game and probably won’t play it again.” (via X)
He then elaborates: “I didn’t realize that this community was so toxic, I didn’t realize it was being manipulated and controlled by whoever is doing this, which is unfortunate.”
For the streamers, playing on unofficial, custom servers was also out of the question. That is not a solution; the developers need to ensure that such problems are fixed:
“Resorting to a third-party solution because the main game is almost infected doesn’t feel right. I would prefer it to be fixed, which is difficult because development has been halted for five years, so it’s probably never going to be fixed, so… You might have a good time. It’s just that I’m streaming, so I’m a target, so I can’t have a good time, but you can play. It was fun.”
Even the YouTuber Aysoka experienced how toxic the community of Battlefront 2 can be. He challenged a player to a 1v1, who then demanded money for the showdown. The two agreed that the winner would get the money, but the player broke the rules, lost anyway, and kept the cash: Gamer believes he is so good at Battlefront 2 that he demands $100 for a duel – Loses in front of 2 million viewers
