Login Server issues.

I'm having a problem with the login server. This just started. Servers are up. My game wasn't patched recently. Just launched, with admin access, and it says Login Server is currently unavailable. I've done all the troubleshooting steps on the website. Tried updating my launcher. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Pinged the loginserver and that returned 100% no drop packets. So what's up? This has been doing this for hours now.  Oh! Thought of something else. I can log into the website just fine. 

Thanks for any help here.

  • Sorry for the delay, I didn't know you thought of something else.. email fail.. 🙂 

    Anyway, I tried that and I also tried and made sure the bitraider program was active and still no go. 

    Funny thing though. It was working fine this weekend and then I tried again on Monday and boom. Back to not working. I really think this is server side. 

    Thanks tons for your help Proxos666!

    That is bizarre

    That sort of behavior i would expect from parental controls , it doubt it is server side.

    be interesting to see if it works the weekend again ? 

  • Parental controls I dont use since it is just me using the pc. But yea It'd be interesting to see if it starts up again this weekend. working that is LOL

    Hey there. I'm trying the VPN now just to fiddle with it. Hey if it works.. 🙂 

    Also, I did a tracert on Launchpad.swtor.com. It's possible i've have a problem there. 11 hops. I know typically anything over what is it like 8 or so some programs have problems with. It's just strange that it works last friday and then next time you try it doesn't work. Nothing on the system changed. No new installs. Perhaps an update some place i don't know of though. obviously some thing broke it heh. I tried the other day turning off completely my routers firewall, nortons firewall. and I'm using IoBit software which the firewall is disabled. I've disabled everything also and no change. Silly thing.

    8 is fine its when it is past 30 hops that issues occur 

    what is odd is it working on the weekend then stopping again which ISP maybe BGP configuration on certain loads changes the path ? all guesswork though at present

    Does Iobit block ports ? I am leaning towards a port block of some description

    I have found sometimes a program needs to be uninstalled as disable doesn't always mean disabled

  • @proxos666

    Supposedly it doesn't block ports (IoBit program). However, I am familiar with what you said about it saying it isn't blocking ports but is. I've seen this before with a program  I used to support. It is worth a shot uninstalling it. I'll give that a go as well. 

  • Well, the thing becomes more interesting. I double checked on the Windows Firewall which is _suppose_ to be off. It says it is managed by Norton. Anyway, I found it on. Soooo I turned it off and a different VPN program I tried did connect. I couldn't connect to the game but hey. the other, and one you recommended Hotspot?, doesn't like to connect. So now I'm trouble shooting that too LOL So you have to be right. Something on my end. I just can't figure out what. I'm going to go to bed and debate the whole reformat thing. Windows 10 acts buggy anyway. Just hate doing it if I don't have too. Anyway, Have fun and thanks for all your help! I mean it!

    Found this link with iobit Malware fighter , unsure iif it will help as uninstalling should do this anyways.

    the launcher is based on chromium framework so is susceptible to things that would block a web browser
