Essential improvements and fixes

Hello, in this guide I would like to show you how to fix various issues you might or might have encountered when playing this great game and various enhancements that will improve it even further.

This issue has 2 solutions depending on your hardware.

If you have a microphone:
Just plug it in.
Really, that's it

If you don't have a microphone:

1. Go to your operating system's control panel
2. Click on "Sound"
3. Go to recording devices, right click the window and tick both
   "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices"
4. Right click "Stereo Mix" and click enable

1. Open Discord
2. Go to settings
3. Disable discord overlay

If this doesn't work

1. Right click BattlefrontII.exe
2. Click properties
3. Go to the compatibility tab and set compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2

Download the latest version of the SWBF2 Remastered mod
https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-ii-full-hd-interface/downloads

And simply install using the installer.

If you prefer the original HUD over the bigger one, go to
Star Wars Battlefront II/Gamedata/data/_lvl_pc/remaster

Make a backup of StockHUDHD.lvl, delete the one in the remaster folder and rename StockHUD.lvl to StockHUDHD.lvl

Note: This mod comes with a customised version of Unofficial patch 1.3, too so you don't have to install it afterwards or beforehand.

Download this:
https://mega. nz/folder/8tlAhDyQ#2AkAQukJKAYuIWEzDTGtFA/folder/IslFkTSL
Pick the 15.10 dll file
and place in the GameData folder.

I already made a guide on this here:

Install shader patch from here:
https://github.com/SleepKiller/shaderpatch/releases

I highly suggest using the preview versions as they feature a lot of new features that are not in stable releases, yet.

You can also use various shaders in similar way to Reshade. The key to open the effects system interface is \ by default.

Due to Star Wars Battlefront II's rushed development, there was no time to properly implement cockpits like in Star Wars Battlefront I, but they can be still restored using this file:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/cockpit-sides/downloads/side-cockpits

You can easily get the maps from the 2004 Battlefront I in Battlefront II using Marvel4's conversion pack 1.1:

Note:
This mod has nothing to do with Conversion Pack 2.2 (which features less accurate versions of SWBF1 maps ported by a different person and some new gamemodes and eras)

If anything new arises, I will update this guide accordingly. I hope it helped. Enjoy!
