I don't know if this is for every game, but for SWS (and probably a bunch of others), the kill cam is the engine recreating an approximation of what happened, not a 1:1 recording. So yeah, there's going to be some weirdness every now and then, especially in a fast-moving game with bright lasers for the primary weapon making it more noticeable than a tiny bullet.

What's your username?

Aussie here - absolutely feel your pain. u/EA_Charlemagne - any telemetry about your Aussie players which supports the idea that we’re having a hard time down here?

It's an issue we're tracking. Too soon to say anything more, but our engineers are looking into it.

Do you maybe know if team is also working on missing/lost medals and progress in story/campaign?

We are! We should be able to fix it, but you'll likely have to unlock your medals again after the fix is live. Standby for final details, though.

Haha, not publicly. I just meant I'm writing the notes for the update we're going to do to fix some stuff.

Do you guys plan on giving patch notes, as well?

Absolutely. I just wrote some.

At least you know it exists. It brings me peace. Once it's fixed will you guys be pushing out an update? (Where? Twitter?) I really don't know where to look for updates and stuff.

Or does the twitter post detailed updates? I'm really following this game as close as I can TBH. I played XvT back in the day and this game is a very good predecessor.

The best place for official news is from the EA Star Wars Twitter account, but this subreddit, the Discord server, and I will all be posting when stuff happens, too, so you likely won't miss anything if you're following closely here.

Oh, that's hot.

Not a bug, actually, but how the system is built! The kill cam isn't a 1:1 recording of what happened as you may expect. It's actually the game recreating the event as closely as possible, so it might look a touch off sometimes.

This is one of those things where, to me, it feels like game development is really just black magic. Engineers are way too smart, haha.

Is the MMR bug being looked at as well? I can play with a controller for now, but I need ranked gameplay.

Yup! It's also a top priority. Fitting username, though.

Can you guys PLEASE GIVE US AN ETA on the HOTAS fix? You’re really gimping your launch by doing this...

I can't give a set ETA right now, but things are looking really good. Stay tuned to the EA Star Wars Twitter account for an update on this.

Dear Dev — 120 seconds is not a long time, this post is the one of the most childish complaints I’ve ever seen at the launch of a game, ignore these people in their entirety. Thank you.

Just to touch on this (though the account is now gone), this feedback is as valuable as any other. We take it all into account, as well as metrics around how many players are staying vs quitting and so on.

It's the only payment I accept.

Might I suggest "Pilots in the Hangar" for Members, then?

Edit: Or "Pilots being briefed".

Fun fact: This was a complete accident and we didn't realise until after it was done. The Force works in mysterious ways.

When I first started the game it confused my PS4 controller for a HOTAS and confused the hell out of me. Tried using ds4windows which made it sorta work half the time, and then it randomly fixed after restarting the game and has been fine since. Playing on steam if it matters.

Ahh okay. Well, glad it's working now. :D

u/EA_Charlemagne I imagine you’re probably busy these days, but would it be possible to flag this for the team? It’s a small fix that would make a huge difference in ease of use.

I certainly can!

Provide a link to said EA help /Answers HQ

Confer with your staff about the two points raised: will rank be reseted or not?

Third and most important point: you're awesome, I love you, the community loves you so help us we will help you doooode ! :)

Max out

As I said above, we’ll provide more details when we can. The last thing we want to do is get in the habit of promising something before we’re sure of our final answer (since things might not always end up how we initially expect), for better or for worse.

https://www.help.ea.com, by the way.

And we love you, too. I mean, I know.
