Re: SWTOR Launcher Forever Loading

I tried a clean boot, but either I’ve done it wrong or it just didn’t work. Likely the former lol

 see next post

@TheGoo83 

are you saying the game doesnt launch and you dont get to press play on the launcher ? 

in that case try the directions in https://grok.lsu.edu/article.aspx?articleid=19328

@TheGoo83 

The launcher has been updated recently, there is a possibility the antivirus you are using is blocking the update, so check that as well

@TheGoo83 

if this persists for you. can you email the host.developer.log file found at C:\Users\User\AppData\LocalLow\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic Launcher

into support@swtor.com using the email address you have used on that swtor account, detail this was requested regarding the launcher not updating 

Feel free to link this thread too in the email 

I see the launcher, but pressing play after putting in my login info will put me in an infinite loading loop. I do not actually get to play

@TheGoo83 

did you try 

• Game flashes black screen and closes or is stuck at the initial loading screen

Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time 

Copy the following in to the text box and press ok 

%localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings

Open the client_settings.ini file in notepad and ensure the following are displayed within 

Fullscreen = false
D3DFullScreen = false
RefreshRate = 60

Check NativeHeight, NativeWidth, Height and Width ( all 4 ) match your monitor resolution.

Save and close the file.
Start the game as normal.
Change graphic settings within the game as desired.

I opted for that as well and it didn’t seem to work. I’m honestly not sure what else to do

@TheGoo83 

what do you mean by loading loop ? do you mean the play button dims and lights up again ?

I mean the “Log In” button dims and it infinitely displays the blue circle on the display art. As I said, a day prior I was able to play without issue. 

I have not installed anything new and I’ve gone through even disabling my antivirus. The only thing I haven’t tried is downloading it the old fashioned way instead of through steam.

@TheGoo83 

just in case can you set the compatibility mode on the launcher to windows 8 

I did try this yes

Did you ever figure this out? Im having the same issue as well.
