When I log into SWTOR Character, it takes me back to server selection screen?
Hello! This is my first time using this forum, so please excuse me if this is in the wrong place.
When I recently tried to log into one of my SWTOR Characters, it booted me back to the server selection screen after fully loading. I could still hear the music of the planet I had tried logging into (Dromund Kaas) yet I was starting at the server selection screen.
If that doesn't make sense, basically, these were my steps.
1.) Log in.
2.) Select a character.
--> I selected my Sith Sorcerer.
3.) Wait as the "Loading character" screen came.
4.) Screen goes black (sort of how it goes when you first load in). Can hear planetary music playing.
5.) The server selection menu/screen shows up instead.
--> I am able to go back and select a character, but the same process repeats itself.
I am not sure what else to do at this point. I do not believe it is an issue with my internet. I tried both the Satele Shan server and Star Forge server. I have tried different characters, not just the same one. I have also tried logging in and out of the game, restarting my computer, and repairing my installation from the launcher.
My next thought was possibly uninstalling and reinstalling the game to see if that would work, however, I wanted to get other people's thoughts on the matter. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
I am sorry for the late reply. I have been busy for the past week and did not have much of a chance to get onto the game to test out the changes.
When I did eventually log on and seriously play for a few hours, I can report that there were no interruptions with the connection. This was after I followed what @proxos666 had said and checked the cable that connected my computer to the wall. In addition, I rebooted my internet and checked the wire and it seemed to work.
Since the few times I've played it, I did not run into any serious problems with connection, I am going to mark this thread as solved. However, just in case anybody else is having this problem (and this thread is found in the future -- because trust me, I've been there looking at old threads for this sort of stuff), I'll just detail what I did / others suggested on this final post.
When I couldn't literally log onto my character AT ALL:
- I came here and was able to get in touch with an admin to reset my character onto the Fleet. [Worked].
- Uninstalled / Reinstalled SWTOR [Moderate Success]
- Updated launcher / fix files. [Moderate Success]
- Restarted my computer/game [Low Success]
When I would randomly lose connection:
- Rebooted / restarted internet. [Worked]
- Checked my ethernet cable and made sure it was securely plugged in. [Worked]
- Updated my NIVIDA Drivers. [Moderate Success]
Anything else I missed would be in the thread.
Anyway, thank you to all that helped. I guess if this problem arises again or I have another question, I will be in contact with you all again.
