Okay, I need help, I haven't been able to play since Jan. 1st, I login in the launcher, but when the game starts I get stuck in the Loading screen for 30 minutes followed by being thrown to the server selection screen with an "error Code 14, logged out due to inactivity", could anyone help?
I've tried flushing the DNS, removing and reapplying permissions on my antivirus and firewall, Deleting both antivirus and firewall, uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting PC and restarting the network, tried logging in in 3 different networks (My home's, my grandma's and my work's), nothing works. the only thing that I haven't tried is opening the required ports and I don't know how to do that.


Yikes. Did you try contacting support and posting in the support forums to see if that gets anything?

Not allowed to post in the support forums, and I live in a third world country so I can't call support. All in al, you peeps are my last hope.

What else I've tried: logging in a different account, Formating my PC. Didn't work either.

if your ping is consistent it seems to compensate well, it's when it spikes wildly that you can have some issues.

I've had some problems with loading and stuff before. Back before I upgraded my computer i used to have to always keep SWTOR as the top layer on my screen, and close my browsers and stuff, or it'd take so long to load that it'd time me out. Had some fun times of joining PVP and then being kicked before it finished loading, so I'd go right back into another loading screen.


It doesn't really seem like the same problem, but I have no idea.

Get the dailies/weeklies. Don't bother doing GSF without a daily. The reward from the quests dwarfs the match rewards.

(this is only true for fleet/ship req - the XP from GSF is pretty crazy and you'll outlevel most places quickly)

do a GIS for "swtor gsf victory" and you'll see some screenshots of reward screens. It's based on medals awarded, and even the ones who get 15+ medals only get about 120 fleet req. The intent is that you spend cartel coins to turn ship req into fleet req if the weekly reward isn't enough for you. (I assume you mean blue fleet req, not yellow ship req)

Speaking of which, I found a random tip online that suggests that if you change your Windows system language to English (UK) as opposed to English (US) you wil get faster loading times. I am not 100% sure if it works but I went ahead and did it anywa

Just a heads up to everyone that the Gree Event started today. It's a really cool event and I recommend running it a few times. If you get enough of the Gray Helix components, you can buy legacy bound offhands so you can transfer offhand barrel/hilts/armorings.

Plus Xenoanalyst is a cool boss. Someone still actively playing should try to organize a kill or two on him. :)

Okay I'm gonna try something out, the game stopped working in Jan 1st, gonna try to roll back the clock to Jan 1st 2014 and see if that does the trick.

Edit: Nope, doesn't even allow me to login witha different date.

Edit 2: Then again, I never did a Full Formatting, I just did the 8.1 thing that allowed me to keep some of my files instead of a full "return to factory standards". I just don't want to lose al of my poo poo...

I'm on my phone so it's harder to link, but if you Google "run traceroute to swtor servers" you'll find a few articles on how to see where your connection is getting hung up - won't necessarily fix it, but can help you figure out if the issue is your pc, your isp, or a hop along the way

You get bonuses to xp and rep gain while part of a guild. The rep is largely irrelevant until endgame, but 10% xp is nice.

Honestly, I'd be just fine with that. Malgus was smart, competent, he was forward thinking, he was ambitious without wanting to perpetuate stupidity.

Like, I've said it before and I'll say it again - the post 50 story should have been Malgus and the player characters finding out about the Emperor's true plan, and then Malgus seizing control of the Empire to oppose it. Because we all know that at some point the Emperor is going to wake up and become a raid boss for Imperials too.

I originally wrote that as a joke but the more I think about it, I wonder if that's what will actually happen. It's been a while since I played leveling content but do we hear about Malgus and Marr existing at the same time?

As the guild fills up, officers will sort the list by "last played" and start kicking people from the bottom to make space. If you just log in once every couple weeks or so you'll be fine. I've never conducted a purge myself, but I know that if I were doing it, I wouldn't be bothering to read member notes and would probably miss one saying "don't kick me".

I don't think they actually share screen time but Marr is definitely a Dark Council member (he's in the both the Inquisitor and Warrior finales) while Malgus is off doing his scheming. Marr was one of the Council members who signed the Treaty of Coruscant just before the timeline of the actual game starts.

Edit: and according to IMDB his voice is done by a man from the Bronx. :raise: Huh.
