'Star Wars Battlefront' issues surface; immortal players and malfunctioning audio discovered

“Star Wars Battlefront” is EA’s new entry into the first-person/third-person shooting genre, which is based on the “Star Wars” universe. It, without a doubt, nails the genre through its gameplay and features. However, being a detailed game that caters to tons of players at the same time, “Star Wars Battlefront” is reportedly plagued with several issues.

One player took to Reddit to voice out his complaints about an issue that occurs after a match has been completed. Apparently, the game’s audio begins to malfunction after one match.

"So after purchasing Battlefront, I jump right in and get placed into a Walker Assault match (already in session) and everything is OK. But, after the match is over and I move to the next match, the audio starts having issues," said the user on Reddit.

When the issue occurs, the player only hears sounds from the Menu Buttons, the background music during flight and Orbital Strikes. Basically, blaster, explosion sounds and other background music are rendered obsolete when the bug strikes. So far, the only workaround in the issue is restarting the game completely.

Another reported issue is a little more disruptive to gamers than others. Wired reports that several players have been spotted controlling near-immortal characters. What this means is that regular units like Storm Troopers have been witnessed to soak up a lot of damage without dying. This leaves the opposing team at a disadvantage as one player is seemingly unkillable.

So far, DICE and EA have yet to release a statement regarding the issues. For the meantime, players can submit their concerns to EA using an online form.
