'Myself and others have basically been working to find a way to host a server on rental machines (machines with top quality internet speeds and stability rented out from server providers),' AsLan wrote. I chatted with AsLan, who's been hosting Battlefront 2 servers for years and provided GOG with the server package code the community had been using, which was released by LucasArts years ago. In terms of performance, SWBFSpy is unquestionably the strongest candidate out there right now. Of course, some enterprising fans are already working on the problem. The most common complaint seems to be especially high ping on the existing online servers-which isn't surprising, because currently Battlefront 2's online servers are all player-hosted. 'Want to love this so much but the lag makes it unplayable,' writes another.
'They fixed the issue of joining for most but still the lag is killing any chance of playing seriously,' writes one user on GOG. Posts on the Steam and GOG forums show similar problems. Battlefront 2 was built for dedicated servers, and player-hosted ones can be laggy for multiple players.
