check these videos,make sure to pause on the photos with info and check description too

everything appears but when i launch a classic gamemode or a classic map the game crashes after loading

If Stereo Mix is not showing up you’re missing the driver.

Alternatively you can plug in earphones into the microphone jack.

If you’re on Windows 8/8.1 you may have to run it in W7 Compatability, then as Administrator.

Step Four was downloading a program from Microsoft that allowed me to force the game to only use a single cpu Core on my multicore processor. Apparantly a lot of older games have trouble play on PC’s with processors numbering more than one.

One way to fix it is to use the task manager under the processes tab and right clicking on the program and choosing Set Affinity, then desleceting all but one core (however you’d have to do this everytime).

So after dubious searching I stumbled onto the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit, and a post on another forum that set down the steps to get it all working http://mypkb.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/how-to-programmatically-set-the-processor-affinity-of-an-application-updated/. I’m happy to say that everything is all ok now, though it took the better part of a day to get it all down. Thank you internets.

Step 1-3 was just them listing the previous fixes that didn’t work for them.

Star wars battlefront 2 how to install mods

Want to play as Captain Rex, Ahsoka Tano or even Pre Vizla? Check out this guide where i will explain how!

Please upvote the guide and favourite it!
Please also check out the FAQ, for an important message!

To play mods on battlefront 2, you need to download Frost Tool Suite.

Frosty is a simple way to load and unload mods, without having to move the files in and out of the mods folder.

When you open Frost for the first time, you will be met with this screen:
You have to tell the mod manager where your battlefront opener is located.
To do this locate it in your files

(If you cant find it manually, go to browse local files in the properties of Star Wars Battlefront 2)

Then click on Star Wars Battlefront 2

Congrats!
You now have frosty installed on your PC.
It should look something like this:

You are now ready to choose your mods!

The best place to find mods is the Nexus!

Simply search for battlefront in the search bar and you should find it easily enough.

To download mods from Nexus, you require an account. This is easily done.

For this guide, i will be downloading the popular Pre Vizla Deathwatch mod. (Other mods are avaliable 😉 )

Once the mod page is open, press manual.

For this mod, there are 2 options. Online or Offline compatible (I will cover why in the last section)
You can download both, or one, or none. IDGAF its a free country 😀

Once you have chosen which one, another menu will open. Press slow, unless you have already unlocked premium. From my personal experience however, Slow isnt Slow.

Wait for the download to finish.

Now simply drag the mod from your downloads folder into Frosty!
Now simply double click and it should appear in the applied mods section!

Now simply press Launch at the top of the screen with your mods activated!

LAUNCHING!!

(I will keep adding to this section as comments appear below this guide)

1. What up with online and offline modding?

At the moment, it is unclear whether or not dice will ban you while using a mod on a public server. I personally wont risk it (plus im not good against pesky humans :P)

2. Does playing with Frosty increase my steam hours?

Yes it does, i have experimented with it tonight (01/07/2020) and it does increase the hours.

3. Can I access steam overlay, while playing with mods?

Copied from Modding Discord:

Over the past few days several mod users have been permanently banned immediately when logging into Battlefront 2 regardless of if they have any mods enabled or not. Here is what is known and speculated so far.

— 14 People are so far known to be banned, each user has used mods in the past and have likely used them online

— Bans are now immediate and permanent when entering the game. Previously you would enter a game with a risky modification, fairfight (the anti cheat) would pick up on it and ban you. You would at first be suspended for a week with increased surveillance. If you were caught again then the ban would become permanent. The new bans are permanent for all uses regardless of if they have had previous suspensions or not and are applied before entering a game.

— Bans cause by mods previously almost always have been as a consequence of mods that edit weapon models as the files which control what weapon model is used also has gameplay properties, if dice updates that file in a patch and modders didn’t redo the edits then the old gameplay properties would remain and fairfight would pick up on it and detect it as a damage hack.

— Previously the anticheat has only been applied to online modes including COOP. Instant Action and Arcade do not have it active in the background (to our knowledge) so you could use mods in those modes with no consequence. That likely remains true for the new anticheat
— Speculation: From what we know this seems to be caused by a new version of the anticheat that has been in development and collecting data for a long time. Since people are now getting banned immediately when entering the game regardless of if mods are enabled or not then it is very likely that they previously have been using a mod (such as a weapon one) which was not picked up by the old anticheat but was detected by the in development one. The users got flagged and are now getting banned

— Speculation: What we don’t know is if the new ban wave is targeting every single user who got flagged or is only testing it out on a small percentage of them. If it has been applied to every flagged user and you haven’t gotten banned then you should remain safe. I have almost never use mods online so I have not gotten banned (at least yet) but there is always the possibility that a following ban wave will get other people who have been flagged by the anticheat before

— Speculation: This is not an attempt by the developers to “shut down” battlefront 2 modding. While modding is against the terms of service, so far the developers have only ever really praised the efforts of modders when commenting on them while warning people not to go online with them. It is likely that the only intended targets of this anti cheat were the actual hackers ruining the game and modders are only being caught in the cross fire. This is backed up by one of the community managers responding to a ban by asking people to post their mod lists. If you are effected by the ban then I would recommend contacting EA support and giving them your mod lists. This is not a guarantee to get you unbanned at all since modding is still against the TOS but there is a chance at the very least since you were not the Intended target

DO NOT USE MODS ONLINE

Recently I was having some issues with frosty not booting the game, I went online and found a fix. Here is a copy paste:

TROUBLESHOOT FOR MODS

If you have Battlefront through Steam, that is why mods don’t work. Here’s the fix that Dulana57 found:

— Launch ORIGIN, launch STEAM, in origin select the Steam version of Star Wars Battlefront 2, right click and go to Game Properties > Advanced Launch Options.

— In the command line arguments insert your path to Frosty Mod manager executable. Then launch the game through FMM as per usual and get back in the action.

Example path from reddit post: F:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common’Mass Effect Andromeda\FrostModManager
If you change mods in FMM you must close Origin. Then launch through FMM.

If this works for you, please say. It worked for me!

Star wars battlefront 2 how to install mods

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005)

Заходим туда, где установлен наш Battlefront: C или D>Steam>SteamApps>common>Star Wars Battlefront 2>GameData.
После создаем папку с названием «AddOn».

Заходим на любой сайт где сможно скачать моды. Вот проверенный сайт [www.playground.ru] с кучей модов. Находите или тыкаете на то что понравилось и скачиваете.

Для примера возьму мод на карту Кашик 607.

После того как скачается открываем и перетаскиваем (в моём случае, у вас будет другое имя и другое число папок, смотря какой мод. И ещё, название папки должно быть на подобии этой) папку AWM и ICI в папку AddOn.
Мод скачан.

Заходим в игру и заходим туда, на что вы скачали мод. В моём случае это карта и захожу в немедленный бой.

Находим карту и заходим. Карта установилась.

Модов на эту игру множество и это не только карты. Поищите сами. Точно. Некоторые моды (а точнее все) моды не поддерживают русификатор и поэтому не могут быть скачаными. Все название карт будут коракулями и понять какая карта вам нужна будет сложно.

!ВНИМАНИЕ!
Некоторые моды могут не сочитаться! Скачиваете их на своё усмотрение! Эти моды я нашёл сам, и сам играл! Лично меня всё устраивает. Если у вас будут проблемы, я за это не отвечаю!

Conversion Pack 2.2

Он добавляет в игру:

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 «Battlefront Evolved» [Новая графика]

Ну тут всё понятно. Описанию этот мод не подлежит. Лишь инструкция. И чего тут описывать, по названию и так всё понятно!

Намного больше и проработание чем Conversion Pack. Новые режимы, новая «эра»,также было создано несколько новых карт, классов, техники, изменён баланс.

Мод по мотивам седьмого эпизода. Новая эра и т.д. Как для меня, мод суховат, но сойдёт.
