Re: Require urgent assistance, Error Code 7

hopefully it could be something as simple as run the shortcut icon as admin and checking windows updates if you haven't checked in  while and or the shortcut icon in compatibility mode windows xp service pack 3 edit to add or win vista compatibility mode

@proxos666   or @DBWoodynz  please and thank you in advance

    hopefully the others can assist better than i 😃  as i'm newish to SWTOR playing  and troubleshooting some issues  (hope to improve on that too )

  • Try to reinstall all of your drivers. Even if you are 100% sure that they are up to date.

    That's probably the most common issues for Error Code 7.

    MOD EDIT - Reinstalling Video drivers as detailed in this post is usually the solution for C7 error on a computer that has played the game before.

    Yeah, ill try that.

    I don't reply it either means it worked, or i gave up

  • Error code 7 usually refers to a compatibility issue..

    That said for things to work one day then not the next can be frustrating but I have managed to get Swtor to work on all forms of machines that I have had to work on.

    Rule #1 Firewalls Firewalls Firewalls, nothing there is going to be your friend so stay on top of them its 20 seconds work when they play up.

    Rule #2 Keep it Simple; Overlays cause more headaches then having a pop up that says Billy is now online or is talking is every going to be worth.

    Rule #3 Logs Logs Logs, Save yourself real world time and get into the groove of checking your logs first before spitting the dummy they will give you a good idea where to go first.

    **All that said folks can you please provide your Logs, DXdiag + Launcher is always nice, client_settings.cfg  is also another one to be familiar with.

    I have a Dentist appointment shortly but will get started on a few walkthrough guides later.
