swtor can't connect to servers

Last week I started to be unable to connect to servers. I was hoping maintenance would fix my problem but no, still can't connect to servers. My internet works good as always,I removed and re-added launcher.exe and swtor.exe to both my firewall and antivirus exceptions, I reinstalled game - didn't help.

I run swtor in compatibility mode for windows 7, it doesn't work for me otherwise

    try tethering to your mobile GSM network (not home wifi) and see if the same issue ( this way it tests using a different internet access point )

    try the trial of www.wtfast.com and see if any change 

    edit - if you havent already , turn the modem off for 15 minutes , so it is likely to grab another IP address and ensure to reboot any other routers if any exist

    Not aware of any issue like this with avast 

    issue like what you have can be a net routing issue , hence trying a totally different internet connection is worthwhile to try and check

    a mismatch in compat modes between launcher.exe and swtor.exe can result in no server list , however it appears you have a server list , just cant access a server ( i presume you tried them all )

    a port block may also cause this issue but that is usually ISP dependent 

    more inclined to check with another internet connection as next best thing to check with

  • I been hopelessly launching and then exiting game and after who knows how many times it just works now with no issues.

    I'm now convinced this was weird game bug.
