Both are unchecked and, sadly, the game is still stuck on the loading screen.
Me and my friend deceided to do a test yesterday. When I try to install the game / launcher from the SWTOR website the "Download failed to contact the alias service. Timeout on I/O" error happens. He tried on his computer and the same error happened. He did not try and launch the game after downloading it from steam though. His computeris far more recent than mine.
We're starting to believe that the internet service being provided at my appartment complex might be the issue. We moved in the 14th of June and the official internet service provider (Bell) has not activated their permanent service yet. Thus, a temporary Wifi has been provided to us until the main one comes online.
We assume some firewall / blocage might be happening on the temporary wifi's side that stopping the game from loading? I don't even know if that's something that's possible, but I've literraly tried everything at this point and still the game won't load.
I think I'll wait and try again when the permanent service is established. See if that's the problem.
Thanks for your answer!
