Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy debuted on Switch alongside last month’s Nintendo Direct Mini. This week, Aspyr distributed a new update for the game.

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:

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.
