Game company EA has recently released a brand new update for popular video game Star Wars: Squadrons.
The latest update actually fixes several bugs that the game has been plagued since its launch. This includes the ranking issues and the flight stick deadzone that most HOTAS users have been experiencing. It also adjusted some of the visual effects in VR mode.
Check out the full notes below:
Release notes for Update 1.1.
