I keep getting login service unavailable on my swtor, I've done every possible fix there is and none of them work, I live in Australia and last I played the game was 2019 and ever since then I've moved houses and ISP. Can anybody help with this issue?
The only workaround apart from change ISP is try a VPN
What antivirus are you using ?> i gather you have added exceptions for launcher.exe and swtor.exe to the exception lists for the firewall and AV
Open a command prompt and ping launchpad.swtor.com , if it responds the login service should work ok , so something l;ocal has to be blocking it
@proxos666 I'm not using any AV and I'm launching swtor through steam, I've also tried adding swtor.exe and launcher.exe to the exception list of my firewall still no fix. I've attatched an image of my ping from cmd and something seems off
Yes the request timed out is why you have no login servers
it is likely a routing issue to your ISP , turning the modem off for 15 min may grab a different IP address and if it is a different enough may not be affected
here is my ping from australia for example
C:\Users\User>ping launchpad.swtor.com

Wait is the best suggestion most routing issues resolve within 24 hrs
Depending on your ISP you can ask if they can give you an ip address in a different range as likley to be unaffected
The only workaround apart from change ISP is try a VPN
Australia , closest is best , otherwise US for example
If possible ask the ISP for a different IP address in a different range
A thought as this is the login service
If you tether your mobile to the computer and use its GSM network (not home wifi) to connect and login , once the launcher has the play button lit
disconnect the mobile and restore the home internet and then press play .... may work
