Likewise, as an Imperial character, I received mails from both Tau Idair and Darth Rivix on the same subject: that one item they were fighting over and the follow-up analysis of that item by one of my Alliance Specialists. <no spoilers> I also received several mails that feel like they should have been sent after the end of the Ruhnuk story (Indigo, Rass Ordo, and The Arbiter <forgothisname>). To be clear, I finished the Old Wounds story without doing the new flashpoint.

Mildly provocative title, but non-hostile. What do the Dev Team have planned for us to fill the next 11 weeks (until the end of Galactic Season 4)? Finished the season today and rather enjoyed it, except for the fact that it is complete-able so long before the end of the season. 7.3 may or may not be coming soon. I would say it should come sooner rather than later, but it will be ready when it's ready.

There are plenty of people logged in and playing right now, but it seems some of them have been logged out due to inactivity, while not truly inactive, and those people cannot log back in. So it seems to be an issue with the login to Darth Malgus, rather than <whatever other servers there are for the Darth Malgus content>. For any Devs who may be troubleshooting: I am able to change characters, planets etc. But I am not going to try logging out and back in again (because the login would surely be expected to fail).

Seriously considering a major computer upgrade. My current rig was built in 2014 and the graphics card is slowly dying (GeForce GTX 760). My budget is fairly high, but not "shutupandtakemymoney" high. Questions: Do I need 4k graphics for SWTOR? I do not play other games. If not, do I need 1440p or 1080p? I would like to do 16 man VM runs without frame rate issues (clearly I need to match with a good CPU also). How big a monitor do I need? I have seen screening from a buddy at crazy high resolution. I am considering 32inch or even 43inch monitors, but what downsides do I need to consider? What graphics cards are people using for this game? RTX 2000 series, 3000 series or 4000 series? I am an Nvidia man. What CPUs are people using? i5? i7? i9? I am an Intel man. 5) Anyone able to recommend a PC builder, preferrably in Germany? I am not capable of doing this myself.

Updated to correct that the Season Weekly is not technically impossible.

Confirmed it with my own eyes ... only 1 single person in the 16 man SM OPS got the 3-point credit, the rest of us got 1-point credit. Also, the weekly CQ reward of 18ishk for completing an SM Operation does not apply to Colossal Monolith. So many bugs.

The bonus for killing the Colossal Monolith, according to general chat is not working. We need 4 kills, and there are only 3 bosses, so do not bother with this one this week. you have to repeat at least 1 boss on another character. Additionally, so many people have forgotten the Colossal Monolith fight that you might have a hard tie finding capable people; the fight is non-trivial. Shame that Bioware gave us a 12 point Season Objective that cannot be done. Also, the Weekly quest for Hive of the Mountain Queen is not working. It does not recognize the kill (at least in 8 SM mode), but I can confirm it is giving credit for the season weekly. (Also, it is confusing as heck that the Season Weekly is called "Heart of Ruin" and so is the weekly quest to kill both Colossal and Worldbreaker Monoliths.)

People use only Master crystals, right (for DPS and healers)?

Darth Malgus. None of my friends who are all doing other things, have any issues. And I am only having issues when I do this story content. Veteran mode if it means anything,

Now, and for the last 30-60 minutes. It makes it very difficult to do KotET story on veteran mode (for achievements).

So I have been having super-bad connection problems only in KotET Chapters 3 and 4. I can do Warzones without problems. I can sit on fleet and no red X or red dots in the connection. But KotET Chapters 3 and 4 give me all kinds of problems. No issues with youtube or twitch or other "bandwidth hogs".

A new one for the list ... I just won a WZ in that odd Iokath (?) map that I do not see very often, and got no credit for the weekly win. I DID get credit for 7+ trophies, and for playing it. It makes me wonder if the problem is somehow spreading.

I do not know how good I feel about posting this, because if they correct it, season progress will be mind-numbingly slow. The points table on that website is simply wrong. I am getting double the values (except in the case of zero medals.) For example, I just won an arena match, with 7 medals and I got 24 season points instead of the expected 12. I am not complaining, but someone somewhere is either feeding us bad information, or the coding is wrong. Neither of these instill confidence, and it feels like, yet again, the pvp season is riddled with bugs. Another example, I lost a warzone and had 6 medals. I earned 14 points, not 7. Sorry folks, but this has to be reported. EDIT to add: A Warzone loss with 4 medals = 10 points, not 5 posted in the table. Arena loss with 1 medal is 2 season points.

That all makes sense, but why is it not clear in the UI? Rhetorical question, I suppose. The 100 does not look like a bonus, and there is no indication in the UI how we get the Weekly progress (that is in the header).

I do not understand why the OP is using 336 blue armour/mods and 332 purple enhancements. Why not just blue 332 everything? Or for that matter, 336 bue armour/mods and 336 purple enhancements? Is the mix of 336 and 332 making the mess for you, OP? Just asking.

So we have the PvP Season UI which shows 6 "weeklies" each with a number (100) on the right. We also have a weekly progress (out of 1000) in the header, but these numbers do not add up to the same thing and it is confusing. In my case, as I write this, I have 154/1000 for the weekly progress, but I have the following for the weekly objectives: Arenas: Combatant 6/16 Arenas: Decorated 3/8 Arenas: Domination 3/6 Warzones: Combatant 4/8 Warzones: Decorated 2/4 Warzones: Domination 1/3 If I do the obvious math, and multiply each of those fractions by "100" which is the obvious number in the very same table in the UI, I get 258.3 (rounds to 258). But the Weekly progress says only 154 and so this is just confusing. I guess I must be doing something wrong, but I am doing the obvious math that is clearly displayed in the UI. I am not "math challenged". So is the UI simply showing the wrong information? How is it that I have 154/1000 for the weekly and no obvious math to show how/why this is my weekly progress? And why are there "100"s in the Objectives table? What do these represent? Are they redundant? Please explain.

The worst part about this bug is that Huttball is about 70-80% of the pops all weekend long.

Same problem. Huttball wins don't count, it seems.

It doesn't seem like they added this in 7.2.1 as far as I can see. I only scanned a few vendors quickly, so it could have been missed.

Okay, you are right on the exact name of the file, sorry. Need to logout now, bedtime.

I extracted the files to a new folder I called ...\SWTOR\Direct X 9 (because I only use it or this game) and within that folder, there is a file called SETUP.exe which you then need to run. I do not know why Microsfot decided not to make it run automatically.

Oh wait ... I fixed it!!!! (I think) CONFIRMED! Details pending The DX9 instructions are really not very thorough. After you unpack the files to the folder you select, you need to run the SETUP.exe file to activate it all. This is just so non-intuitive though. But I was able to login!

Absolutely nothing happens, and nothing changes for me after selecting "play" on the launcher.

I have checked Malwarebytes, my AV. This does not seem to be blocking the game, because it would say so with a popup if it did, and there would be a record of it in the Notifications. But I added the launcher.exe anyways as a test. This changes nothing, sadly. Same problem still. To keep it all in one post: no compatility modes were ever used. I even tried selecting Windows 8 as a test. No change. Launcher.exe was always run in Administrator mode Restarting the PC after various experiments did not help. Adding the Direct X9 files did not help. non-Steam version, Windows 10 Game has been working fine for months, with only intermittent crashes/DCs Nothing happens after the audio cue and clicking "play". I can even unclick play.

Installing DX9 does not fix the problem. I just tried it. No difference whatsoever. According to Vulkk, (in an old video) you can put DX9 anywhere. Well, I put it in a new folder within my SWTOR folder.
