Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy has unintentional cross-play between Switch and PC due to a bug, dev says it’ll be fixed
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy came out on consoles towards the tail end of last week, but it’s been met with some frustration. Aspyr, the company behind the port, accidentally enabled cross-play between Switch (as well as PS4) and Switch. Usually this sort of feature would be celebrated, but it’s been turned on by default and unfair matches have been taking place between newcomers and experienced PC players.
PC players need to go out of their way in order to make cross-play happen. Users need to input the specific IP address of console matchmaking servers, and it doesn’t even show up on the menus for the PC release. Aside from having more experience, they’re also able to use a mouse and keyboard setup.
Here’s what Aspyr is saying about the situation:

Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast – ability to invert Y-axis added via patch
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
By far the most common issue players had with the Switch version of Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast was the lack of an option to invert the Y-axis, a popular choice for games that require precise aiming. Developer Aspyr previously said that they were working on a patch to add that option to the game. Today, that patch has finally been released, and you’ll be able to invert the Y-axis after downloading it.

Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast doesn’t have inverted controls

Update: Bumped to the top. Aspyr now says it is working on an update to add aim inversion, and it will be made available “in the coming weeks.”
Original: Only after it was announced in this month’s Nintendo Direct, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast landed on the Switch eShop today. However, players were quick to notice an option that’s missing in the game’s settings.
Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast doesn’t have inverted controls. In other words, there’s no option to invert aim (y-axis/x-axis). A number of other settings are available, including support for gyro aiming on Switch, but not that one.
Aspyr has yet to say if it will be patching in the control option. If we hear anything about the situation, we’ll let you know.
