Star Wars Squadrons 1.03 update

Players had reported that Star Wars Squadrons has major issues while launching in VR. The game experiences ghosting or frame-rate stutters which pull a player out of the overall experience of the game. Whereas players using the StreamVR service experienced that the game's client would crash altogether while booting out of the game.

While the latest 1.03 update is only 400 MB in size, it fixes the issues related to VR. Since the update size is small in all aspects, no official patch notes for the same have been released by EA. However, Back on October 3, the developer company had sent out a tweet stating that VR issues for the game will be fixed with the upcoming update writing - 'While we are investigating the reports received on various issues for #StarWarsSquadrons, we are deploying a small PC patch to improve overall stability in the game when launching in VR.'
