Well, I have been reading the forums on swtor.com. One person said they contacted customer service and the customer service rep said they have had malicious attacks on their "services". I have played WoW and they have been maliciously attacked on occasion. These attacks are happening around the country.
I have changed my WiFi internet from 2.4GHz to 5GHz. I plugged in a Ethernet cable to see if I could play the game, but I still have connections issues. People are playing other online role-playing games without any problems. But if they play SWTOR, they have problems.
Here's the thing, if I didn't have problems playing the game Friday morning (11/01/2024) then why would I have problems hours later? I have everything installed to play the game. I have done all that I can to get the game to play. The problem is not on my end. Sometimes I get past the loading screen to see the servers, but I get "A connection error has occurred" seconds after the servers attempt to connect. (Star Forge, Shae Vizla, and Satele Shan) The problem is on Broadsword's end.
