Server List Empty
I installed the game on my win 10 laptop (did a clean install) and patched the game.
When I clicked play the game loaded fine and loaded my character list.
The resolution was 800x600 so I went in...
Fixed it.
No idea how.
I reinstalled the game - didn't work.
I reinstalled the game and patched in non streaming mode - didn't work
I restarted my computer - didn't work
I disabled my firewall - didn't work
I tried every combination of compatibility modes - didn't work
I ran both programs as an admin - didn't work
I restarted my computer again - worked
Seriously after trying all of that (and combinations of the above too)?
Why can't EA or Bioware just make their program work with no need to fiddle around with it.
I wouldn't mind of they released an installer specifically for each OS version or if it installed the whole game and I had to reinstall every couple of weeks to keep up to date. I just want the damn thing to work.
When I play Star trek online I click play and it loads. Not once have I ever had to mess with compatibility or firewall. In fact this is the only MMORPG I've had problems running.
Morning 🙂
Sorry to hear that you were having grief with SWTOR.
May I provide this small tid bit for you, Windows/ most Firewalls are extremely finicky turds rolled into a basic sandwich of why I hate life moments... and the crusts haven't even been cut off !
I have found many many many hair pulling times that farting around in a firewall requires a full system reboot to usually get that door to finally open up.
Not sure if you came across it but a guide I did here...(Linked because I'm happily and shamelessly fine with self promoting) lists the key moments to reboot when installing the game 🙂
Somedays you can't see the forest for all the trees...
But hey your up and running now.. Mint.. crank that stereo and run around listening to the glory of Vroom Vroom npc's/other players dying your shiney glowie rav sticks.
*Oh yeah, Turning off a firewall doesn't actually open the door that was closed in may cases also.... have to open the door regardless.
I'm almost certain it wasn't the firewall. I deleted all the entries and modifications I made before I reinstalled and repatched.
