Technical Considerations

​
Mesh Format Compatibility

The Star Wars games use different mesh formats: 
Battlefront (2015): Legacy format
Battlefront II (2017): Modern format with ushort bone counts
Squadrons (2020): Advanced format with VR optimizations
Frosty automatically handles format conversion based on the detected profile.

​
Profile Detection

Profiles are identified by game installation. The SDK profiles contain:
  • Game-specific asset loaders
  • Deobfuscation settings (if required)
  • File system source paths
  • Shared bundle definitions
  • Texture format specifications
Star Wars Battlefront II has one of the largest SDK profiles, indicating extensive asset type support for the game’s diverse content.

​
Online Play & Anti-Cheat

Some Star Wars titles may have anti-cheat protection for online multiplayer modes. Always use mods responsibly:
  • Only use cosmetic mods in online play
  • Respect EA’s Terms of Service
  • Be aware that some mods may not work in multiplayer
  • Consider using mods in single-player or co-op modes only
