No fix for the refresh-rate bug, but deadzones should be better.
Star Wars: Squadrons flew into the hanger a bit beat up in some areas, and the Update 1.1 patch notes released today highlight a few of the fixes EA Motive has made to the space-battler. Not every desired fix made the list (such as the refresh-rate bug that continues to plague PC users in both VR and “pancake” modes), but the Update 1.1 patch notes prove Motive is indeed working on patching up the few faults within the game.
Star Wars: Squadrons – Update 1.1 Patch Notes
Listed below are the full Update 1.1 patch notes. Changes of note are the fixes to rank placement (though pilots who’ve already cleared their placement matches are SOL), a possible fix for the HOTAS deadzone issue (one of my personal sticking points with the game at launch), and a fix for V-Sync disabling itself while visiting the main menu (which will make the 60hz work-around for the refresh-rate bug more reliable). A current list of known issues can be found here.
Fleet Battles Ranks
- Fixed an issue where players could not be correctly placed in a rank after initial placement matches
- Players who have not started their placement matches will be able to place normally
- Players who have started their placement matches will have their remaining matches use the corrected system
- There will be no rank resets at this time
