Companions gone...

Some digging through Google suggests that there's a known obscure bug that makes the companion circle disappear from the UI after certain missions.

Can you open the Crew Skill window (defaults to 'N') and see if you can summon a companion from there?

Usually when this happens system either wants you to play with a certain companion or no companion at all. So keep on playing your class mission, they will come. If it seems like a bug then relog the game. If it doesn't solve, run repair.

 

Non-Streaming launcher - Log into the launcher but don't click Play. Check for small letters "ST" in the bottom left corner. If this is NOT present, click the cog icon and then run the repair option.

 

Streaming launcher - If the letters "ST" is present, close the launcher, right mouse click on the game shortcut, select open file location and delete the BitRaider folder. Then start the launcher

Completely unnecessary, and the game will tell you if it "wants you to proceed without a companion."

 

Just open your crew skill window (default is "N"), and select which companion you'd like to accompany you. This has been a known bug for at least 3 years.

 

There is NO NEED to run the Repair function for this minor issue with an easy workaround.

As you may understand if you read my post correctly I offered repair as a last resort. So your reaction is completely unnecessary. :)

 

Note that there are lots of people who are solving lots of simple bugs otherwise seems unsolveable by simply running a repair. So if no solutions or workarounds solve your problem just run a repair, don't hesitate. It won't bite you :)

Running repair on SWTOR client requires logging out of the game and waiting up to an hour while it runs.

 

Opening the crew skills window in-game takes about 2 seconds (possibly less, if you use a keyboard shortcut) and does not require logging out.

 

Let's let the OP decide how he would prefer to fix this problem.
