SWTOR no servers when I start game

@jrominger

These days it is rare that port forwarding is required

Most common cause of no server list is antivirus or firewall exceptions for both launcher.exe and swtor.exe may need to be removed and re-added if they exist already.

I tried it and it doesn't work.

What sort of internet connection is there anything unusual about it 

also what operating system, antivirus and firewall are you using ?

I have a normal ATT internet that never had a problem. I use a pace-plc/5268ac/    router. I don't have any special antivirus or firewall, just the windows one. I tried disabling the firewall, tried dumping the dns cache, tried disabling windows defender, tried port forwarding, tried compatibility mode for both programs, tried running both as administrators, I have tried every easy fix I have found online and it still won't work. 

YOU FIXED IT! THANKS! It was different compatibility settings between the launcher and client.

Glad to hear great news

May The Force Be With You 🙂

This past was from November 2017 so it may have been a coincidence but there was a server issue which  has been solved that was at first causing a login server unavailable message and then a blank server list issue.  See the main thread here.
