The next Star Wars Battlefront 2 update has been delayed, EA and DICE confirmed.
Due to a technical issue, the game's next update will be released next week on all formats. As a result, the new community event which was supposed to begin today has been delayed. To apologize for the inconvenience, a triple experience event has begun today.
The Star Wars Battlefront 2 October update will introduce a variety of balance changes for the co-op mode and AI improvements.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 October patch notes
Adjusted the spawning rate of enemy Hero AI on CO-OP, by increasing the cooldown in-between spawning.
Added scoring when completing a phase on CO-OP.
Fixed an issue that would remove the timer when the player would go in an Out-Of-Bounds area, when playing a CO-OP map.
Fixed an issue where the intro camera on Naboo and Kamino would occasionally make a jarring movement.

Reduced the active time of Boba Fett’s Concussion Rocket from 1 to 0, allowing the player to act right after the grenade is fired.
Improved the aiming when playing on a Speeder.
Fixed an issue that would cause various gameplay issues for players who are under the impact of the Officer’s flash grenade. These issues would include Force abilities not having an impact on affected players, as well as Lightsaber blocking and immunity while dodging not working correctly.
