Hey, pilots,

About a week ago, we deployed a very brief server-side maintenance and have confirmed that it has resolved the issue with players getting stuck at rank 0. However, this only prevents people from being affected moving forward, and players who are currently stuck in this state are still affected. Thankfully, we have a fix en route and wanted to give you all a heads up!

In Update 2.0 next week, we’ll be providing all players with the option to reset their rank. This means players unaffected by the bug won’t be forced to reset if they don’t want to. We know this has taken a while to get out, and for that, we apologize. The team has been working hard on getting this fixed as quickly as we can, but we know it’s put a damper on Fleet Battles for some of you.

Additionally, we also fixed the locked framerate issue on PC and the bug preventing players from completing Mission 9 in Update 1.3 that deployed alongside the Mando content. As a thank you for your understanding, we’ll be giving all players 1,200 Glory for being so patient while we’ve worked on resolving these, admittedly, very tricky bugs. The Glory will come after Update 2.0 is deployed and we’ve confirmed the ranked issue is no longer impacting players.

Thank you so much for hanging in there with us, pilots!

We’ll see you in the stars.

Thanks /u/EA_Charlemagne ! I got placed into Mav 1 even though I won all my placements. I'm now hotshot 1 after grinding my tauntauns off.

If I reset, should I expect to get the same placement (mav 1) or could I potentially place higher? Thanks!

You'd likely get higher since the game thought you were fighting against Rank 0 players. Your call, though, since you might end up grinding above where you'd place. That's why we didn't force it.

/u/EA_Charlemagne can we get patch notes for 1.3? Was it only the framerate fix and a fix for mission 9 issue?

It was only those two fixes + the Mando content. We snuck them in so you wouldn't have to wait another week.

/u/EA_Charlemagne any info on a fix for those of us still crashing in VR? No matter what level VR settings I use, after dying in Ranked Fleet Battles, death 2 or 3 produces a hard crash to Steam Home. Every single game I've attempted to play in VR has resulted in a crash and a leavers penalty.

Dogfight works fine, finished plenty of games but I haven't made it through one game of Fleet Battles.

Interesting. Could you get a bug report for this up on EA Answers HQ?

I feel I should now mention that after todays update, I no longer crash. I have no idea if any backend fixed have been made, but I've played through 4 consecutive Fleet Battle matches with no issues whatsoever.

Glad to hear it! We fixed dozens of minor or rare crashing issues across the whole game, but we didn't list out each of them since so few were often affected by each.
