i came to the forum to ask what the hell is the deal with iokath dailies and that operation i can't even enter, i guess i have to be in a group first, no option for solo mode i believe. Good to see that i am not the only one and the rest of you are confused as well lol. Aren't dailies supposed to be simple heroics? Paying for heroics seems like the dumbest idea in the history of mmo, you do heroics in order to get something, not the other way around lol. On top of that i don't even know what to do, i spent all my ipkath tokens on the first one i tried, which was the mouse droid and i ended up going around aimlessly, no idea what i am supposed to do until i got killed, and that was it. No more tokens to play and no idea what i did wrong. Why do we even pay for this game when we have to pay some game money as well just to play it. Ridiculous. I am not even starting Iokath on any of my other characters, one confused smuggler is enough lol.

I am about to unsubscribe. I just wanted to say it publicly and voice my opinion. I simply cannot believe how little Bioware cares, there has been so much talk about game crashes and numerous issues and people complaining about their tickets never being answered and still we don't hear a thing from the customer service over 7 days later. I am not even interested in what i can do to fix the game anymore because i am sick and tired of coding, deleting files, editing files, this workaround, that workaround, restarting my computer 50 times a day for the past week or so. I tried it all and the game still can't get past any of the cinematics, it crashes every time and i can't make any progress whatsoever. So given the fact that prior to 5.0 the game ran smoothly and now it is completely unplayable, it is not on me to spend hours every day and waste my time and energy trying to fix what obviously is the problem on Bioware side. Who is paying who here? But since Bioware doesn't care about all of this and just lets the things stay as they are while having no qualms about taking our money i have decided to not give them any more money. That's basically it.

i do. Only one of my characters made it to chapter two, the others are stuck on the very first cinematic. My knight though can't even start the chapter two cinematic, it freezes immediately and crashes . The game is completely unplayable, actually i was just about to create a post to publicly say that this is ridiculous and i am unsubscribing.

OlBuzzard has a point. Most of us are paying customers. Bioware should not forget that we pay to play this game, therefore they should act more responsibly or faster at least. Just imagine if your phone went dead for 10 days because of something the phone company did. Would you scream at them and ask for a refund or for those 10 days to be deducted from your bill, or would you simply act like everything is fine and let the phone company take their sweet time and hope that MAYBE it will start working soon while you still keep paying for the service? I think it would be the first option. You cant expect everybody to keep paying for a broken product and not even give a statement that at least you are working on it.

i didn't mean that the card was the problem but that bioware didn't do something right and the game suddenly became incompatible with intel cards. But since you have nvidia, that means they really messed it up because now it seems it doesn't matter what system or card you are running the problem persists. i am just as frustrated, trust me. i cannot play at all, in any way, and hours prior to the update swtor was running without a hiccup on my machine. The irony is this was supposed to be a big expansion, also coming out just before the release of Rogue One, so from the marketing standpoint it was supposed to be huge but in the end it turned into a complete fiasco. They could have possibly destroyed their own game and fanbase with this update.

yeah i still have the same problem. It is ridiculous, the game is totally unplayable, and it is not only the "cosmetic" graphics issue now, i can't even get past some cutscenes/cinematics, meaning it really does not work lol. That Owen guy that offers advice on this forum says it is an issue with Intel graphic cards. I assume you have Intel since we have the same issues. I decided to give them 7-10 days to fix this or i am unsubscribing and deleting the game. Why pay for a broken thing, right? I just wish somebody would compensate me for all the nerves and time i wasted in the last 7 days trying to make it work.

Hey Owen, thanx for trying to help. Before i even posted this topic i had already tried all the possible combinations with the client.ini file, edited it, deleted it, made it read only... I play the game on my Surface Pro 3. I know it is not the most powerful machine but until a week ago this game ran really well on it and i had no issues at all. I waited for this patch 5.0a to see if maybe it would change something but it didn't. It still opens in 800x600, resolution drop window still doesnt work, and all the old problems from 5.0 are there and now on top of it all i am stuck on chapter 2 (yes i tried playing with the crappy looking graphics, it was awful lol) where you need to meet Saresh on Odessen. The game simply stops at the start of the cutscene, all i see is my character and the bubble over his head and that's it. i am slowly giving up, and it's too bad cuz i really like this game. I don't know what they changed for this new patch but whatever it is i bet they affected a whole lot of computers because i doubt there is a small number of us with this problem. Have a good day everybody

yeah same here, nothing really fixes it. I mean the point is until just about 4 or 5 days ago everything was running perfectly with no problems whatsoever for years and now suddenly nothing is as it was. so it is obviously a very BAD BUG, as it has already been said :-) Just fix it guys and no hard feelings :-)

alt+enter goes into windowed mode at 1024x768. but when i change it there and click fullscreen it either goes back to 800x600, or just completely messes it up and creates this little separate screens in the top corner. It seems to work when i play it in the resolution my computer screen is in, but that resolution slows the game down a bunch. So i have two choices the very lowest or the very highest, but no way to get that sweet spot middle that i used to play in for the past couple of years

oh yeah i just saw your post. yeah it's practically the same thing. well let's just hope the dev team fixes it soon, cuz i don't think i will stay subscribed long to a game i can't play lol

I've encountered an issue i have never had prior to patch 5.0 The game always opens in 800x600, no matter what i do. i tried a lot of things to fix it, even changed data in client.in and made it read only hoping it won't change but it did. The main problem here is not that it starts in 800x600, since i wouldn't mind simply changing to desired resolution every time i opened the game, but the problem is exactly that, meaning i cannot change the resolution because every time i click on the resolution drop screen it drops from the top of my screen and shows only two (highest) options. Meaning i can't even click on anything but 800x600. A couple time i was able to change it somehow, because the drop screen miraculously worked but then when i started playing the game it was slow and the companions kept disappearing, not to mention that almost every cinematic froze. Now all of that is something i have never experienced prior to patch 5.0, and i honestly cannot play the game at all, i have spent countless hours trying to fix it but i don't know how. oh yeah one more thing, if i change the resolution (on rare occasions when resolution drop screen works) it almost always leaves 800x600 active and creates an extra screen in the top left corner in what i think is that other resolution, which again just adds to general frustration. Does anyone else experience this? Can the developers just bring the graphic thing back to how it was before the patch 5.0?

so no solutions or answers? guess we have no choice but to cancel our subscription then, why pay for the game you cannot play.

i have the same issue, as soon as i hover over the missions in the top right or on the mini map i get booted. impossible to play the game at this point. hope they fix it within a week or they will lose a whole bunch of players cuz i doubt we will keep paying for a game you can't play.
