If you want to give Battlefront 2 a try, keep an eye out for AsLan's server, General4726. But the simplicity of GOG's built-in support makes it the best way to go for most players-the playerbase is just that much bigger, AsLan says: "The game hasn't had 64 player conquest servers in a long time, but for the last week our servers player limits have capped regularly." It's the best option for stable servers if you don't mind installing some extra files and joining a Discord community to organize games. GOG's new infrastructure initially broke support with SWBFSpy, but the players quickly found a workaround. Players are struggling to get online in the likes of FIFA, Battlefield 5, and. I actually wished GoG had contacted us before releasing their initial server patch, if they had simply patched Spy into the Steam and GOG versions of the game, everything would be perfect right now." We then booted GameRanger, all joined the same room and the host clicked launch.
Were Spy to have a significantly larger playerbase I would recommend it as the best place to play without a second thought, but it doesn't. "The real problem Spy has at the moment is lack of players and a somewhat exclusive community-the vast majority of players are EU players (though they do have US servers) that have been playing for a long time and enjoy the game in a certain way. "In terms of performance, SWBFSpy is unquestionably the strongest candidate out there right now, I know the Spy team and they are hardworking and very competent," AsLan writes. Currently, the community is split between GOG's new baked-in online support and a couple fan-made alternatives: GameRanger and SWBFSpy. And even if they don't, there will still be people playing.
