Game loading issues

My wi-fi is working fine with all other devices in my home , and phone. But whenever I get to the loading screen for SWGOH it gets stuck on the checking for game updates part. To get past this I have to switch to 4g. Then if I switch back to wi-fi the game will periodically say it cant connect, unless I'm connected to 4g. Anyone else having this issue?

  • Mine does that every now and then. Have you tried clearing the app cache? Or reinstalling the app? That's usually what I have to do when it gets hung up like that. Good luck and game on!

    IPhone or Android?

    Not sure on iPhone, but for Android it's under settings >> Apps, you can select the app and you will have the option to clear cache
  • @Ninjah9 - as it's working fine on 4G, it looks like you might have an issue with the WiFi, even though you think it's working fine with the other devices.
    Do this on a laptop connected to the same WiFi as your phone:
    - press "WinKey+R"
    - type "cmd" and press Enter
    - in the command prompt window type "ping www.google.com -t" and press Enter
    - leave it to run for about half an hour
    - when you want to finish the test, press "Ctrl+C" to stop it
    You should now see something like this at the end "Packets: Sent = 30, Received = 30, Lost = 0 (0% loss)"
    If you lose a lot of packets it means that your internet connection is not stable.

    PS. If you're using a Mac, skip the first 2 steps and open the Terminal app.

    It also depends upon the phone... my iPhone6 takes between 1-2 minutes for the game to fully load while on my XR it takes about 10 seconds.

    Still didnt work. Dont know what is going on. My connection is fine
  • This happened me a lot on my old phone
    (LG G3) when it did work it still took 3-5 mins to load and open

    I stopped playing but when I bought a new phone a few weeks later the game worked perfectly and only took 30 seconds to load
