Star Wars: Battlefront 2 PC Gets Ruined by Hackers—Game Mode Unplayable!

If you’ve been trying to hop into a game of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 recently, especially on PC, you’ve probably run into a massive problem: hackers. Yep, you heard that right. And it’s not just a minor inconvenience—it’s ruining the game entirely.

Players are flooding Reddit, EA forums, and even IGN’s tipline, saying that the game’s online modes, particularly Galactic Assault, are essentially “completely unplayable” thanks to hackers taking over.

So what’s going on exactly? Well, there’s a specific hack that’s been going around, and it’s preventing players from spawning into online matches, especially in those chaotic 40-player modes. The game basically becomes a ghost town with no one able to enter the fight. This is happening in modes like Galactic Assault, but even Supremacy has been affected too. It’s a total mess for anyone hoping to get a large-scale battle going. The crazy thing is, co-op and smaller-player modes seem unaffected—so you can still play those, but if you’re into the bigger modes, good luck.

This isn’t a new issue for Battlefront 2 by any means. There have been complaints about hackers popping up for months, even years. A hacker known as “Blix” has been causing trouble for ages, trolling players and taunting them with promises to ruin their fun. It was bad, but it was usually easy enough to leave a bad lobby and try again. But now? It’s on a whole new level. Players are saying that these hacks are running nonstop, meaning it doesn’t matter what time of day you play—you’ll almost always find yourself stuck with hackers.

Some players have gone as far as to say that the hackers aren’t just messing with the gameplay—they’re also being complete jerks in the chat, posting offensive and inappropriate messages. To make things even worse, it seems like these hackers are managing to hide their names from the scoreboard, making it nearly impossible to report them. For many fans, that’s just the last straw. Not only can they not play the game, but they can’t even properly report the people who are ruining it.

Let’s not forget that this isn’t the first time Battlefront 2 has been messed up by hackers. Back in 2022, players were stuck with another hack that made characters unkillable. Sounds ridiculous, right? But it happened. Players would run into entire lobbies where no one could die, making matches pointless. Like the current issue, this problem persisted for months before EA finally stepped in and fixed it. And even then, it took a ton of complaints before EA actually did something. This time around, fans are feeling that same frustration, but it’s only been getting worse.

Here’s the kicker: EA hasn’t said a single word about this situation. The forums are packed with complaints, but there’s been no official response from them yet. It’s like they’re ignoring the problem. IGN has reached out for comment, but as of now, there’s still no answer. The only silver lining is that if you’ve got a console, you can still hop into a lobby and enjoy the game without worrying about hackers. But for those on PC, it’s a waiting game at this point—either hope the hackers leave or find another game to play.

In the end, it’s really disappointing for fans of Battlefront 2. The game has had its ups and downs, but for many players, these constant disruptions make it feel like the developers just don’t care. The issues with hackers have been dragging on for years, and right now, it seems like they’ve only gotten worse. Until EA steps up and actually does something about it, the game is just going to stay in this broken state, and who knows when—if ever—things will get fixed.

“Battlefront 2 PC players are flooding Reddit, the official EA forums, and now also IGN's tipline with complaints that the game's various online modes, especially Galactic Assault, have been rendered ‘completely unplayable’ due to hackers.”

At this point, it feels like players are just shouting into the void, hoping that EA will notice the mess and finally do something about it. Until then, it looks like Battlefront 2 is pretty much off-limits for PC players.
