The patch worked great up until recently, but now whenever I launch a match the game simply closes - there are no error messages and no minimized windows.  I can still get to the server list screen, it just won't load the map or even the loading screen itself.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  It seems like this problem is becoming widespread.

Perhaps you disconnected/disabled your mic? I recall SWBF2 having a problem where you needed a mic to be connected/enabled in, otherwise the game would crash before loading. Don't ask why that is because I have no idea lol  :shrug:

You can also enabled Stereo Mix if that's an available option. That's what I do.

When I try to join a game it says "Connection to host lost" Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

Please, read existing threads before posting.
There's another person with this issue and my recommendation is to do some research. Some issues were already reported (and they're all SWBF2-related, not SWBFSpy-related), and u can find them here: http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=10613

I've already done all the suggested things.  My normal Battlefront II with GameRanger works perfectly, and the SWBFIISpy used to work perfectly as well.  I have no idea what could have changed.  I am using Windows 10 and I have reset my PC recently so there may be some issues there.

Do not set ur graphics to High. See if that does something.

Still crashes. :(

I messaged you on Discord. but check this link. it should fix the crashes.

CLICK THE IMAGE AND IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE STEAM GUIDE.

I'm hoping you can help me.  I downloaded the patch for SWBFII for PC and put the file in my GameData folder.  I doubled clicked it and the game started.  I selected "MULTIPLAYER", then "JOIN".  My computer locked up for about 30 seconds, then the "Busy..." popup was displayed.  The percentage stayed at 0% for about 30 seconds.  Then the screen that is supposed to list all of the active games came up.  It was empty.  There were no games to join.  Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

I have a list of about 15 servers.  Please post a link to what patch you installed so we can check it.

Thank you for replying.  I downloaded the auto installer from this link:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1248

I then double clicked the new .exe.  When I get to the list of servers, it is blank.  However, It does say "Not logged in" in the lower left corner, but I am assuming that is normal now since we can no longer log in to GameSpy?  I don't know what else to do at this point.

Be sure to search all regions

I always check all regions.

I read that you must have a version of the patch .exe that has a last modified date of 5/28/2016 or later.  The only version I seem to be able to get is 5/27/2016.  How do I get the latest version?

Use that with a manual install. Let us know if you are using the steam version. Check you firewall. It works.

Still no luck.

I am not using the Steam version.  I am using the CD version I bought in a store years ago.

I am using Norton Security Suite for my firewall.  I turned it off and still no luck.

Good night guys,

I have just posted an update in the SWBFSpy Engagement board, and I wanted to ask if anyone is interested in being part of SWBFSpy Engagement. If there are any questions, this link will hopefully answer them - http://info.swbfspy.com/swbfspy-engagement.html

What do we expect of you ?
We'd like to see passion and desire to keep SWBF1 and 2 running. Without active people it is pointless to have a MS, so we expect our staff to be examples of activity and passion. How do we achieve this ? With people like you.

People claim not to have any interest anymore on these games because they are "old", but we have to make them realise that what we have now could be lost, and we might never have it again, so we gotta do our best to keep it alive.

These are the current roles for the project:
- Community Ambassador
- Game Ambassador
- SWBFSpy Engagement

Feel free to contact me in case someone wants to know anything else  :cheers:
