A new Star Wars: Squadrons update has gone live a few hours ago, introducing stability improvements, controls tweaks, and more.
Ther 1.1 update, which is now live on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, brings fixes for Fleet Battles Ranks, controls, and VR.
Fleet Battles Ranks
- Fixed an issue where players could not be correctly placed in a rank after initial placement matches
- Players who have not started their placement matches will be able to place normally
- Players who have started their placement matches will have their remaining matches use the corrected system
- There will be no rank resets at this time
Controls
- Added options in the menu called “Controller Global Deadzone" and "Flight Stick Global Deadzone” which will allow you to modify the deadzone individually for standard controllers and Flight Sticks
- Adjusted the default input curves for Flight Sticks, which should make controls feel more responsive
VR
- Adjusted some of the visual effects in VR mode, specifically addressing the brightness and bloom when dropping bombs from your Starfighter
The Star Wars: Squadrons 1.11 update also features the obligatory bug fixes and general stability improvements.

- Fixed an issue ensuring VOIP (voice chat) toggles work as intended
