Whenever I fast travel or load into a zone/quest loading screen gets stuck
Hi,
I do not know if I am phrasing this correctly or not but whenever fast travel or use an elevator to load into an area/quest whatnot I get a splash/loading screen and it will not go away. This happens every time. I first noticed it on the first Darth Baras dromond kaas quest, troubleshooters I think, where he sends you to guard the prisoner in carbonite and when I tried to load into the quest area the screen came up and would not go away. The game is running behind it as I can hear it, I can hear myself move, I can interact with NPC's but I cannot see anything and it will not go away no matter how long I wait. I eventually have to either alt F4 or task manager and shut the game down. However when I try to go back into the game after this I am still stuck on the same screen, again the game seems to be running behind it but I cannot see it. The only way this goes away is to stop playing for like 15 to 20 minutes and when I come back it works, at least so far.
I am on Satele Shan server, using windows 10 pc specs: i7 9700k, 32gb ram, 2070 super. My graphics card drivers are up to date. I cannot seem to run the repair tool either as it is greyed out.
I appreciate any help
confirm the system power mode is not set to power save ? when playing swtor it should be set to maximum performance
only mention as it is possible to get that screen you see when the system has lowered power to video card etcas to the 2nd issue , around the 15minute mark of being logged out the server side instance is reset
ensure the antivirus etc has exceptions for the game , it could be locking the cache file which can cause hangs on game exit
you can try to reset the cache file and see if it helps with the log out issue to do that go to
your drive :\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor in that location you find a large file called diskcachearena
delete that file then start the launcher and log in as normal
