Field of view (FOV)

This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.
SWBF Cinematic Tools can also be used to override FOV.
Higher FOV values slow mouse movement. In addition, each vehicle has its own custom FOV modifier, which is a multiplier based on what you set. Due to this some vehicles, most notably the speeder bike are essentially unplayable at high (100-110) FOV values. It's recommended to lower the FOV while playing levels featuring those vehicles. Luckily it can be changed on the fly without a map restart.

Black-Screen and Crash on Startup ("Star Wars Battlefront has stopped working")

The game seems to be very specific about sound requirements.

  1. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Devices.
  2. Select your speakers from the Playback tab and click Properties.
  3. Under Advanced, set your sound quality to at least 16 bit, Studio Quality.

Volume is too low

Edit config file[7]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open ProfileOptions_profile file in text editor.
  3. Find GstAudio.Volume 1.000000 line.
  4. Set it to higher value such as 2.000000 or 3.000000 (which are 200% and 300% of in-game volume respectively).
  5. Save the file.
