And here I thought MiHoYo was being stingy at best. Probably not the best game or developer to compare to, but it was the first community I actively felt to engage in (protesting included) and I'm glad it was the first company I got to criticize, cause holy **** this is by far the worst treatment I have ever seen. I stopped playing five years ago and just came back around this month, I even just got subbed. I was even thinking of buying a few CCs for HK's chapter but then this happens. Man, I'm just disappointed. Not to mention the conspiracy theory I just read a few replies back. And here I was, just about to enjoy playing SWTOR again.

I did verify the game files on steam, and ran both launchers as admin. I have no problem launching and playing with swtor's launcher. It's just that I think the steam launcher doesn't update the patches, so i guess it doesn't run full through? I'm not entirely sure tho, I'll try the clean boot method and see if anything changes. But if nothing happens, it still may be on steam, like a bug or problem of some sort. Or then again it may be some system complication.

Yeah, it looks like i might have to make do with having two clients before i make changes with my payment methods so I can just play using the swtor.com launcher. I doubt that the steam launcher checks for patches since i made several reinstalls on that one. I just wished that swtor offered more flexible payment methods. Living in Asia made some of swtor's payment methods restrictively limited. Hence, why i resorted to steam.

I used to play on the browser's launcher until I went to steam to do my sub. I had the browser's launcher fully installed and made steam recognize the existing downloaded files, until it registered as a steam launcher. For that one day, I had no problems with launching it, got to buy the sub and play. But after a day, the launcher won't go through with it. Steam will launch it and after you log in and click play, it'll die down and exit. I can see this since steam can't recognize it running, nothing in task manager too. I did a couple troubleshooting like: editing the client_settings where I add/edit a couple files like Fullscreen=False RefreshRate=60 D3dFullscreen=False, but to no avail it didn't work. Can't troubleshoot the launcher with the bitraider solution since there isn't one. Tried antivirus, nope. Deleted the patch folder, downloaded the repair file, even reinstalling it on steam doesn't work. So far the only solution or workaround I can see is to download both steam and browser launchers, which is a huge pain in the butt. Having to type in my long *** password and security key everytime I try to launch steam's launcher is also a huge pain in the butt. If anyone can suggest a better workaround for this rather than having two launchers, that would be great. Edit: I have to stick to having a steam launcher cause swtor won't link my steam acc and swtor acc if I don't have it installed. I have my own preferred way of payment methods too but sadly swtor's payment methods are too rigid and unfamiliar that I will either have make adjustments IRL just for that or buy it off of amazon as a redeem card or smth.

I'd love to! I'm not sure how these thing work, but if you could drop the name here I'll make sure I'll add you on my main toon Oh and I apologize for the separate threads(?) never got the chance to participate in any community forums before.

Ooh I did some backreading and.. Arcann being sent to Elom? I didn't get the chance to keep tabs on any SWTOR updates after KOTET/KOTFE patches since I just returned. So what's with the Arcann being sent to Elom? Would love spoilers if it involves Arcann especially if it's something sad, gives me the chance to prepare for the ache.

It's so good to see this forum still active. It's been a good 5 years since I last played and I wont forget how I abandoned Torian for Arcann. Best decision I've done in my main, especially now that I got his DS skin. Again, it's so nice to be in this small Arcann appreciating community, I've got so much fangirl energy that i can't let out cause none of my friends play SWTOR If you guys have a discord server I'll be happy to join! Might make some new friends and finally experience some good multiplayer action in SWTOR (been soloing ever since)
