    Hiya Proxos!!!

    Good news i have!  my sister called me today and confirmed that the game works fine on the gamer desktop under gtx 980 g1m after we downloaded the whole thing again by the instructions of the helpdesk. (Deleted the whole game - redownload the client launcher - let the launcher start the downloading - stop the donwloading - exit from the launcher, deleting - Assets - BitRaider - swtor - Movies  folders, disabling the Bitraider in launcher config and restart the launcher to start the whole downloading procedure.
    My sister tested the game 2 or 3 times to start, it worked fine without any issues.

    Thanks god that i didnt have to change the decimal symbols and other stuff to make the game running, hope  that it will stay like that and we wont face again with this stupid problem, by the way i dont understand why such thing have to happen, is it something with the code structure of the game???

    I have found a topic on SWTOR about a guy who had the same problem and he tried everything on this planet what was possible and he had no luck, than the solution and the key was to change the decimal symbols from ,  to .  check the forum:  Read the first 5 pages, he found the solution and wrote about it at the 5th page, but it was pain in the * to read what he went throught, and that simple damned  characters/symbols were the guilty ones, which prevented the game to run...unbeliavable

@alphaorion007

Remove and add exceptions for both launcher.exe and swtor.exe to the AV and firewall lists

Just in case its video driver related go to

  1. Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time.
  2. Copy the following in to the text box and press ok: %localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings
  3. Delete the client_settings.ini file

See if that has any affect if the exceptions appear ok

Well I shall also chime in. I followed this advice as well and all it is screw up my loading screen resolution.

The spinner still is stuck.

I love this really. First I send a ticket to notify SWTOR that my Trooper cannot be logged in.

Today I get a mail from the Service droid that this was supposed to be resolved.

And now I cannot log in at all.

Great work people.

/subscriber sad

I have 2 friends also affected by this issue.

Can we get some people on this?

Oh yeah and for a kicker.

It worked fine a couple of days ago. Nothing has changed on my system.

No driver changes. Ran repair (which does NOTHING) and tried the mentioned fix.

    If you recently xfered the character you are trying to log in on, you will never be able to log back in until Bioware does whatever they do to fix this.

    This is the second time this has happened to me, I always transfer AT THE WRONG TIME. Jesus....

    Oh and my instant 60 token is now gone. It wasn't working to begin with, it was creating level 1's and putting them on the fleet.

      I did not transfer. I have ALWAYS been on Red Eclipse.

      But for some reason I cannot get past the spinner screen anymore.

      Yeah loving the new expansion. ☹️

    Also having this exact problem

    Was playing earlier fine, went off for 2 hours, came back and I'm stuck (apparently). Login on the launcher (no errors) loads up the game to the very first loading screen (the one with the logo) and the blue wheel is spinning but I never get into character select.

    No idea why it's happening.

      Still having this problem today. This is annoying. None of the fixes seem to work, but reading various Bioware employee posts it seems the issue is on their side and not mine.
