While we wait for EPIC to fix the issue that is sometimes causing vader to become unplayable when a player joins the game, we have added a temporary fix.
When playing as Vader you will now have a 'RESET VADER' option this should restore Vader's Health, Shield and Inventory to normal and allow the game to continue.
This option is bound to your 'Place Marker' button (L-DPAD, Middle Mouse, etc.) and will attempt to return your health/shield to it's last valid state.
We wish we could be working on new features for our wonderful players instead of dealing with this but it just wasn't the will of the force.
Once again we would like to thank you all for submitting reports and helping us to track down this issue, if this or any other issues continue to arise let us know and we will fix them ASAP.
May the force be with you, always!
