Q: Is this mod compatible with other mods?
A: Saga Edition works from its own folder and executable inside the game's directory, so it doesn't affect other modifications.
Q: I've started the game but nothing changed, there are no new maps, modes and etc.
A: You need to start the game directly from the launcher.
Q: Where (or what) is the launcher you are talking about?
A: You can run the launcher from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.
Q: Is there a way to run the mod instead of the vanilla game from Steam Library so it could count played hours?
A: Open your Steam Library, right click on Star Wars: Battlefront 2, then select 'Properties' in the dropdown menu. On the 'General' tab under 'Launch Options' enter
"{PathToGame}\SagaEdition\Launch\autorun.exe" %command%, where {PathToGame} is the folder where the game is installed.
Q: How to run the game in windowed mode?
A: Open the launcher -> Settings -> '>>' -> Enter command line switches -> Type
/win.
Q: Is it possible to play with controller?
A: Yes, but you need to manually reassign the buttons in the game's 'Controls' options.
This guide might help you.
Q: Is there a way to load my own custom maps and mods with Saga Edition?
A: The reason why you cannot see custom maps and mods from Addon folder in Saga Edition is in that this mod changes a lot of core game files and it is really hard to make it compatible with most of the addons. Besides, there are a lot of other limitations.
Q: How I can increase reinforcement count in Uber Conquest, Supremacy and cross-era modes?
A: Increase 'Score Limit' option under 'Assault' tab in the session's settings.
Q: The screen goes black after a couple of seconds once I entered any map.
A: Disable Discord's in-game overlay. Open Discord -> Settings -> Activity Settings -> Game Overlay -> Enable Overlay -> toggle 'Enable in-game overlay' to off.
Q: I experience lags and frame drops while playing the mod, but I can play the vanilla game without these problems.
A: Try to set 'Shadows' to 'Low' in the game's 'Video' options.
Q: The game crashes whenever I try to play a specific map.
A: Try to play it immediately after booting up the game. Some maps crash after any number of maps have been played before it post-boot.
Q: In-game audio is crackling or breaking.
A: Open the launcher -> Settings -> uncheck 'Enable sound stutters fix'.
