Performance Issues in Star Wars
EA promised these patches last week in a separate release, after reports of poor performance issues on PC and console.
Senior Encounter Designer, Patrick Wren, addressed these issues on the Iron Lords Podcast saying “It’s one of those things that sucked. Nobody wants to play a game that’s performing bad, [Respawn Entertainment] don’t want people playing a game that’s performing bad.”
When asked about developing for console versus PC, talked about the impact PC drivers can have on a game’s performance. “You can have the same exact computer setup with people on different drivers. One person could be fine…the other person could be crashing…every ten seconds.”
