gunnerjoe Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have an issue where as soon as I land on Rishi and press the spacebar button to engage in the first cutscene my game either enters a black screen with the music playing in the background or I see a poorly textured Rishi with the "...." conversation box above my character only for it to freeze moments afterwards. Has anyone else been having these issues? How do I fix them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technomagelight Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'm having the same problem! I tried re-installing the patch (deleating the BitRaider folder), but nothing changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortnstocky Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Yeah thanks for posting; good to know I'm not the only one. I even shut down my laptop for thirty minutes and it still freezes. Initially the space bar was unresponsive at the loading screen so I closed out the game and came back. Now I'll get past the loading screen but freeze up when the yellow talk cloud comes up, the periods stop moving. Task manager says SWTOR is not responding. I even switched back and forth via task manager during the talk cloud dots moving to see if the switching will make me slip through; nothing. (I know, futile; but at least I tried something different) I hope they fix it soon, this expansion is much better than I thought it would be I'm enjoying it.

LacieDayParade Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I had this same problem, but there's a surprisingly easy way to fix it. When your game loads, press escape repeatedly while the planet is loading - abort the conversation entirely. You won't find out what the cutscene is, unfortunately, but the planet will be explorable at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZutaraAvatar Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Yea I think I'm having the same problem. I've be logging in and out. My game window becomes unresponsive. It's been a real pain in the arse. I was so excited to see the new planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technomagelight Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I think it might have something to do with closing swtor when the game is downloading (in the background), but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
