Aspyr sure is running hot and cold at the moment. Right after last month's well-regarded remasters of the first three Tomb Raider games, the company has put out the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, an uprezzed repackage of the original, beloved Battlefront games. It came out today and, well, oh dear.

With over a thousand Steam user reviews already in, the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection has spiralled down to a «Mostly Negative» overall rating, as fans complain of bugs, crashes, server issues, and a borderline-unplayable multiplayer mode.

«Probably one of the worst launches of all time,» writes Steam user Dinkleberg, «none of us can get in a game and there are only 3 servers.» Similar complaints appear endlessly up and down the game's Steam review page, which is currently a sea of red, and many users are imploring each other not to lose their two-hour refund window. «Don't waste your two-hour refund window till confirmation of fix,» writes a user named Nightnight, «Currently, game is totally unplayable. Even if you manage to get into a server, players cannot spawn.»

The state of the games' servers at launch are a frequent point of complaint. The original Battlefront games were adored for their multiplayer, but numerous players around the internet report that the Classic Collection launched with a sum total of three dedicated servers—64 players each—to serve almost 10,000 concurrent players. Players can host their own servers, which should help, but some users report that feature isn't working properly for them either.

Having checked out the games myself, the situation appears to have been rectified to some extent. Battlefront 2 has significantly

The Scuf Envision Pro is a controller built for PC gaming. Imagine that, a whole controller just for us.
