unbreak_able Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 About 5 minutes after receiving this error, my pc crashed; not to desktop, just got a black screen with no response to any commands lol. No wonder the server traffic is light right now. Haven't seen a guildie all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subzz Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I just got the 308 back after 86% main files downloaded. Have reset ip data see what happens. I had the launcher up running in the background, same as now still have 308 error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Neaj Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 have had the 308 error, the shared hashtag message and a message saying network difficulties to complete transfer... have had to restart computer several times, then has other instances in running.... This is the first time I've ever had a problem after a patch... whew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loranae Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Made some more testing. I have two accounts, one of each in different path, and different folders.. Usually i can log fine, be one or together. Today i can succeed now to log 1 install (not playable as i have a DING popup every 30sec about the NULL pointer) but i can log in. Though, if i try to log in the other installation, then it close the first installation. It should not, as they are in two separate folder. With two different paths. During that test, i had up to 8 launchers in the Task Manager, when the second launch crashed the first. And after quitting the game with the last log in, one launcher remained in the task manager until i killed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everythinggoodis Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I too am having this problem. One thing I want to put out there, I have 2 computers with swtor on them. One is top of the line, just built this year , the other one is about 4 year old and is a laptop. I am getting the Null pointer error on the new computer. On the old laptop I have been running a Non-streaming version of swtor. Because **** torrenting I want to play. Anyway It is getting the 308 error that my new pc never did. I (accidentally) switched to the streaming version on the laptop and well... now I have to wait for it to download the whole game again to see if anything happens. I'll know in about 6 *********** hours -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gymshoo Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I also had 308 error problem. I found that by restarting my computer I could get back into the patch but continued to get error 308 every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby-Girl Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Hey folks! If you're seeing this, please send me your DxDiag and MSInfo so the team can investigate! -Tait Sent a PM with a link to my information. I hope it went through. Unlike others, the download/install bars do not appear and my "play button" is not active so I cannot launch the game at all. I do however, find that it's maxing out my CPU which, it's never done before. I am also receiving Error 308 stating it cannot retrieve patch data but I have a perfectly fine LAN connection atm and have been playing another game today without issue. Finally, when I try to close the launcher, it says I am patching and wants me to confirm that I want to stop the patch process. If I leave the launcher running, to see if it will sort itself out, I get the Abort msg others have mentioned. The repair option is not available via the launcher (I am on the old school retail client) and while I did try to run fix launcher it didn't help either.

TaitWatson Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thanks for the info! The team is investigating this. I'm not sure when a fix will be available, but it appears that it can be safely ignored whenever it crops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieleDurante Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It happen to me as well. But I manage to play without problems. The abort message shows up only when I closed the game. Could it be a problem with the patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roalmo Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Got the "Abort Null" thing. Played the game with no problems, even after I closed the "Abort Null". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndamagedThreat Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Been getting the "ABORT: Pointer is NULL" error message while on the character secret screen. Never got the 308 error while patching but once I get to the character secret screen, I get the "ABORT: Pointer is NULL" error message. Even after I close the game I still get the error. I'm also getting the quick play mode message as well so I can't play the game at all. Been like that for awhile now. I don't know if it's still downloading or not cause the bar is not filling up.

Koyangee Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thanks for the info! The team is investigating this. I'm not sure when a fix will be available, but it appears that it can be safely ignored whenever it crops up. For me it pops up a couple minutes after every time I try to launch the game and then the game never launches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinapus Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I logged into the game, alt-tabbed and noticed the error. Clicking OK made it vanish and nothing else seemed to happen. Game ran normally otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualMorrigan Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 "can be safely ignored"? Well, it minimized the game and dropped me on the Windows desktop. It seems non-fatal, but since it takes quite some time to switch back again, I'd hate this to happen during some fight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot play the game due to this, I cannot patch the update therefore I cannot play the game. Few hours this has been going on...you cannot ignore it.

Val-Kova Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yup same error. There's no fix on our end. It's an error in the code. Tried running app as admin, but no love. Whatever they did last they just need to undo and re-roll a clean patch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeviantNight Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The patch installed for me, but this error message does pop-up too, it doesn't seem to disrupt anything on my end however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvrocc Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hey folks! If you're seeing this, please send me your DxDiag and MSInfo so the team can investigate! -Tait Also wanted to mention that i got two of those errors the 1st about 5 minutes after a PC system restart with out the game or launcher running and the 2nd error was about 15 minutes after logging into a the game but i had the game minimized Googling something for about 3 minutes.

Ziembaar Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 In my case, the game doesn't show up, and after few minutes I get the null pointer error. So... no playing for me for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-Kova Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Is this game in the hands of L1/L2 helpdesk techs now? Where are the Devs at? This is childsplay stuff guys. Looks like a segmentation fault. You want to allocate enough storage for a HashTable, but it seems you're allocating storage for just a pointer to a HashTable (your HashTablePtr) If you drop the habit of typedef'ing pointer and instead follow the approach of allocating in the following form, you won't crash the game: ==== HashTable *table = malloc(sizeof *table); ==== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
