Skill bar desappear

@nicco1293

I believe what you are experiencing are game bugs from 5.0 , Keep an eye out for upcoming patches.

I do not believe, I also encountered this problem before November 29! I also sent a ticket in game but I received no response.

I do not know where to turn! and I certainly can not continue to play in these conditions

@nicco1293

I have seen reports of UI vanishing after 5.0 

The only things on your end that you can try is run a game repair and delete the games cache

With the launcher closed , right mouse click on the game shortcut and select open file location

now in that location , delete the folder called bitraider , then click into the swtor folder and delete the file called diskcachearena (do not delete the swtor folder)

then start the launcher

mmm..ok i'll try it. Thank you!

But first you should know that yesterday I had the well-known problem of  "This application encountered an unspecified error. Please try this patch again".

So I followed your suggestions, I delete the file called "bretaider" and opened the "launcher" file with note pad and changed my references from "BR; true" to "SSN; false", once downloaded everything I restored my references.

This enabled me solve the problem, however, that problem of the "skill bar" still remained (There was the first and still is).

So, Before I try your method I want to know: I have to delete again the file called "Betraider"?

@nicco1293

If you have swapped to SSN being the non streaming launcher then no

what you can do is delete the diskcachearena file then when you start the launcher

after login , select the username pulldown on the top right and select settings, then press repair.

I followed your advice but the problem persists.

other tips? Can I contact support? do you think they had something to do more?

@nicco1293

Given you have re-installed the game and deleted the cache , I cant see a lot more on your end

The UI itself is based on a version of autodesk scaleform , go through and install from 2008 the latest C++ installs just to be sure it isn't down to something on the C++ side of the house.

Other then that it may require a patch , will keep an eye out for anything that points to this being a bug

@nicco1293

Just had a thought, There is one more thing you can try and that is simply load a different UI profile on that character, these UI profiles are the only things that would not of changed when you re-installed the game.

The UI profiles are located in a folder called GUIProfiles at the below location

Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time 
Copy the following in to the text box and press ok 
%localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings

Go into the GUIProfiles folder , locate the one with that characters name and delete it

Also in the settings folder are xml file starting with HE1234  Character Name Player GUIState again find the one for that character and delete it.

Have seen this issue before in most cases I have found that the %/appdata/local/swtor% folder and all its sub-files is set to "Read Only" and it is missing an element that it wishes to create in that folder... or something has changed and it's (*the game) getting the big rubber finger for the computer.

Remove the Read Only before starting your game/launcher and see how you go.

lately I didn't have time to play so I decided to reinstall the game. So, actually i am in "BR" mode.

The Problem remains.

It has presented another problem but are not sure that everything is connected. However before I expose it I must do three important precisions:

1. I can't install the latest (or any other) C++ version .
2. In "%/appdata/local/swtor%" i can't change the "read only" terms. I can change it but every time I open the properties i find it again to "read only"
3. despite don't play much with my other characters, for now I have not encountered the problem of the disappearance of the skill bar with them.

New problem:

with my character i am at the chapter: "Rise of the Hutt Cartel", the mission "A Word Aflame: return to kartha Niar", well, every time I try talk her doesn't start any video but the game freezing and closes by itself.

I do not know what to do. Is It appropriate write on this forum? have I to write on other forums? have I to contact support or submit a ticket?
