Ahh ok. Good thing to know someone already calculated it out too, heh. Thank you. Also, I go to swtorista for all my swtor needs since I started playing again (absolutely amazing website!). Same with the keybindings as well (I usually set it to one of the single letter or digit keybinds I have to make it easier for me).

Wait, does it really cost less money to just buy the purple companion gifts from the gift NPC compared to doing the whole getting/crafting Dark Projects + 4.5 mil creds??? I personally just want to get to lvl 30 influence at least for all companions on all on my toons 'cause I use them for crafting mainly.... but still, is it still cheaper overall to just buy the purple companion gifts???

Ahh ok. Thank you very much.

Hello. I can't seem to join any servers when I log in. It says that all of them are offline. The message that pops up is that the servers' are unavailable...

Sorry for replying late but I have stopped getting the disconnects now. It was probably a slight hiccup and it fixed itself. Thanks everyone for responding!

Sorry to reply so late. But I can only go to Nar Shadda if I have my personal starship right? And if so, when do I usually get it? Is it after finishing the capital world?

Anyone else lagging or getting disconnects while in-game? I keep getting disconnected or my connection gets lost almost every minute.

Is this event doable below max level? I am only a level 25 imp sorc atm but I have been looting these coins a lot while killing mobs.

I just logged in too after a week or two and I didn't receive the pet in the mailbox either. There's still time though right? When does this promotion end exactly, in EST?

Ohhh ok. That explains it really well. Thank you thank you

Ahhh ok. Thank you for saying that. I am guessing that the combat styles are more like a preference thing if someone likes different playstyles. Also, if for example, my only character is a sith sorc, I can basically can do all 3 main roles, right? Like DPS, Healer and Tank? For mainly like harder mobs or even doing flashpoints and/or operations.

Can anyone let me know if I am correct in what I said above?

So after reading over on combat styles and loadouts are, since I have played off and on but I don't have like the Light V achievement or Dark V achievement AND I have not finished any of the stories for any of the classes, I only get to choose like the respective force-aligned classes. So basically what a new player will experience playing for the 1st time. What I mean is like say that I want to play a Sith Sorc. I can only choose between the 4 force-using classes on the Sith side like the Juggernaut, Marauder, Sorceror and Assassin. Since I chose to play a Sith Sorc, I will experience the Sith Inquisitor storyline, right? There are basically 4 different class stories for each side so a total of 8 different class stories, which was like this before the expansion as well. The loadouts on the other hand, will allow me to be any of the Sith force-using classes as one of my loadouts. There are only 2 choices of loadouts, 1st loadout and 2nd loadout, I think (which is only available to Subscribers I guess). So if I wanted to play the Sith Inq class story, I can choose my 1st and 2nd loadouts from among the 4 different advanced classes on the Sith side? Also, if I get the Light V achievement, then I can choose among 8 different advanced force-using classes, 4 from each side? Another thing I think I understand is all the classes have their own abilities with their own animations so both of those will change if I choose 2 different advanced classes for my 2 loadouts, right? Hope I explained everything fully but if not, let me know if I missed anything. I got all of this from the swtorista.com.

Thank you so much for this. It was very helpful in explaining these things .

Hey guys. I just subbed for a 2 month subscription so I can post on these forums. Last time I played was more than an year ago I think. I have downloaded the new patch already and the game is ready to play but I am extremely confused on the new things they added. Specifically the combat styles and loadouts. I am very unsure on what exactly they are. What is the function of them? Why were they added or what was the purpose for adding them? How do I go about using these things? I have played on and off since release of SWTOR so I have made multiple chars. None of them have finished their 1st chapter yet of their class storyline (one or two of my chars might have almost finished it but not sure of it... I think my sniper and my sorc... maybe). I created a sith sorc, a sith assa, a sith sniper, a sith operative and a pub shadow again like more than an year ago. They are like in their lvl 20s I think so they have not even finished half of chapter 1 storyline (or maybe like 1/10 of it, I am not sure). Should I recreate them again to experience them again since I totally forgot what I chose for their conversations so I don't even know where to resume off or if it would even make sense anymore now to me? I don't mind at all recreating or replaying their storylines for the 3rd time for any of those classes but I would like to know how exactly combat styles and loadouts work. My main purpose of playing SWTOR this time around (or even whenever I started or restarted playing it) is to experience the whole storyline fully of each class(?) story. I am unsure on how the stories for these classes or advanced classes or whatever they are now. I basically want to experience every storyline offered basically on both Republic and Sith sides. How should I go about doing this? I don't mind the overlap of like the side stories so I don't mind redoing them multiple times at all. Just need to be able to do each of the main class storylines offered in SWTOR. Sorry for the long post but I have been meaning to start playing SWTOR again yet was confused on how the new expansion/patch has changed the classes and stuff. Thanks in advance.

So I played for 45 minutes before I had a crash to desktop (it had froze for 10 seconds before it crashed). I got no BSODs and no error pop-up. Just a CTD I think it's called. I need to refresh my memory and read this thread again to see what solutions you guys gave... But I wanted to give an update nonetheless. The cleaning the dust out thing didn't help fix the issue I guess. EDIT: Gonna do the sound card removal and get back to you guys by tomorrow.

OMG, I was wondering what was happening to my Nautolan female sith sorc when I was playing her. She would do this extremely weird looking animation where she would raise her arm and her head would disappear and thought, oh it's just a bug... lol. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, it ruins the immersion a bit while playing.

Oh I am so sorry. I actually haven't played SWTOR that much since then . I should've gotten back to you guys. Really sorry about that. I will test it in the next few days but it's hard to devote time to two MMORPGs that I love equally for different reasons. I will play a few hours and check back here within the next day or two. I was having issues in playing WoW too (my other MMO)... like BSODs and Error #132s if anyone is familiar with it. I was testing out solutions for those errors in WoW for the past few days that I forgot about SWTOR lol. I have this thread bookmarked so I will definitely come back and let you guys know whether I get crashes still or not.

Oh, that's good to hear about the PSU. I have just cleaned out the dust from my computer. It was ridiculous how much dust there was, took me like half an hour or more to clean it thoroughly. I am gonna test SWTOR soon since I cleaned the dust out and see if I get any crashes, then if I do, then I will remove the sound card and test it that way. Thank you everyone for the responses and advice.

Ah ok. I will not update BIOS then. I still have to do the sound card removal test but I want to completely clean out the dust in my computer first before doing that. I had to dig this up from when I asked about something related to computers on another website... I realized that my computer was made (not pre-built, I chose the parts but the computer store put everything together) back in either 2012 or 2013. So this PSU is about 7 or 8 years old now. Along with the RAM, motherboard and processor. I upgraded to SSD like a few years ago and I got the video card like 3 years ago I think. Here is the model and brand of my PSU: Corsair Professional HX650W 650W ATX 12V 52A 24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply Active PFC 120mm Fan

I had CPU-Z installed from before so I checked the motherboard version and BIOS version. The name of the motherboard is ASRock Z77 Extreme4. I don't see the version for it though. The BIOS brand is American Megatrends Inc., version is P2.90 and date is 07/11/2013. Should I update it? It seems like it's really old lol. I heard online that updating BIOS is very dangerous and that if I mess up, I would need to get a new motherboard. You mentioned that I can update it through the BIOS setup in startup... You mean when I restart and then press Del or F2 or whatever to get that menu screen? I am guessing it is the BIOS screen but wanted to confirm just in case. If I update it through there, would it update automatically without me having to search online for the latest BIOS version and download it and then install it in Windows? EDIT #1: I have another problem I noticed just now. Supposedly, I think I "re-download" all the files for SWTOR again due to something to do with BitRaider. I don't know if I deleted it or disabled or something I can't recall at all but the launcher I remember was downloading everything again. Maybe it was repairing? I am not sure. It's very odd that I don't remember what I actually did to download SWTOR again but the problem I have is that it downloaded the directories and files into my Download folder on my C drive, which has only my OS on it. So SWTOR is in two places at once lol. How can I like... fix this? I don't even know where to even begin. Should I delete all the SWTOR files in my Download folder or should I uninstall SWTOR and re-install SWTOR again on my other SSD which has all of my other games? EDIT #2: So I deleted all the directories and files that were related to SWTOR in my Download folder and then I also uninstalled SWTOR in Windows. Now I am installing it again and seeing if it works.

Ah ok. Thank you. I will remove the sound card and see if SWTOR crashes or not. I checked the ASUS site to see when their latest driver they have was updated and it says that it is Version 8.1.8.1823 from 2015/10/23. That is the one I have currently installed as well. I am guessing that's really old in terms of driver updates go. The thing is though I never had an issue with the sound card for SWTOR on Windows 7. Or with anything else at all actually. No crashes whatsoever on Windows 7. I was even thinking of going back to Windows 7 but that's not possible anymore lol. And it's not supported either anymore by Microsoft. And I only have the CD-KEY.

For which hardware should I get drivers for? I am always confused on what to upgrade and where to go to upgrade them. How do I found out my computer/motherboard maker's website? Is it ASRock? I used to have the box the motherboard came in but I don't remember it exactly. I got my computer made by a computer store but I told them which parts to get. It's not a pre-built system. It's just that I didn't personally make it, the store people put it altogether. How do I reset/clear my CMOS/BIOS or enter the BIOS to load defaults? I have never done this before. I remember buying i5-3570 when it was current. Don't know how long ago was that though lol. It's probably very old now.

I believe I have the latest drivers for it. I downloaded them just recently. How do I check what version I have currently for the sound card? Also, I heard about the Creator's update but isn't that a separate version of Windows 10? I only have Windows 10 Home. How do I unplug my sound card? Do I take it out of the slot it is in?

Hello. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I could not find a technical support forum. If there is one, please move this thread to there wherever it may be. This is my 1st time posting a thread on here I think. I don't remember when I last made a thread here. I have recently started playing SWTOR and subbed as well for 2 months. I had it installed for a while on my computer but I had not played it for years. Here is the sequence of events: I have SWTOR installed on my computer which had Windows 7 64-bit. I was playing perfectly fine on Windows 7 without any crashes. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 64-bit like a week ago I think since I kept getting pop-up that I need to upgrade my Windows and Windows 7 is no longer supported or whatever. Since then, I have been getting random crashes to desktop without any error messages or BSODs. I can always relaunch the game after but then at random times, it freezes with the music still playing and then it crashes to desktop without saying anything. I have tried many different solutions... - I have formatted both of my SSDs that I have, one had the OS and one had all of my games on it. - I have re-installed a fresh Windows 10 64-bit on my 1st SSD, which I had formatted before installing the OS. - I have re-installed all of my games, including SWTOR through the SWTOR website on my 2nd SSD. - I have "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 7" in the properties of the SWTOR launcher icon. - I have "Disable fullscreen optimizations" checked. - I have "Run this program as an administrator" checked. - I have the clean boot set up through msconfig (have all the non-windows services disabled as well as all the startup programs disabled) Here are my computer spec (please let me know if there is anything else you guys need to know): Processor: Intel® Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz Installed RAM: 8.00 GB (7.89 usable) System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Edition: Windows 10 Home Version: 2004 OS build: 19041.330 Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Sound card: ASUS Xonar DGX HDD: WDC WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0 ATA Device 1st SSD: SAMSUNG SSD 830 Series 2nd SSD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB Here is the most recent error I got in the Event Viewer: Faulting application name: swtor.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5ef66ca9 Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x04d8a090 Faulting process id: 0x2068 Faulting application start time: 0x01d654126561ee35 Faulting application path: e:\star wars-the old republic\swtor\retailclient\swtor.exe Faulting module path: unknown Report Id: 8dfb5dd1-40c8-40b6-8e44-c1beaf2de298 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: Please help me with this.
