That whole Battlefront II launch disaster with the loot boxes is still legendary. EA's official response on Reddit about earning a sense of pride and accomplishment got absolutely nuked with downvotes, a record holder. They yanked the pay-to-win stuff at the last second, but the damage was done. It's a shame because the actual game was solid, and DICE kept updating it for years after.
That's where this KYBER thing comes in. It's a total replacement for the dead official servers on PC, a custom platform run by fans. It just hit open beta after four years of work. This mod launcher sets up player-run dedicated servers with custom rules, full mod support, and a server browser that the original game never had. They even added proximity voice chat so you can talk to nearby players, and a conquest mode inspired by Battlefield.
Getting it running requires a legit copy of the game and some setup. You gotta grab the installer from their Discord, whitelist it in your antivirus, and log in with your EA and NexusMods accounts. The EA App will go offline on purpose when you run it. The server browser lets you join sessions, which auto-download needed mods. Some popular mods are hosted directly to avoid download limits. The team plans to release the source code next month.
With official support long gone and a third game nowhere in sight, this KYBER project is basically keeping the PC version alive and way more customizable.
