Mccordrm Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The patch just before 5.10 caused me to start having intermittent disconnects from the server; sometimes it takes 5 minutes, sometimes it's 15 minutes. Nothing on my system had changed except for the SWTOR patch. I was hoping the 5.10 update would fix it, but it did not. Here's what I've tried on my end: 1. Reset my Router and Modem. Also tried using a different Router. 2. Completely re-installed my system: OS and SWTOR. 3. I have upgraded my hard drive to an SSD and (obviously) re-installed everything afterwards. 4. Reset all the SWTOR settings to Default including my UI. 5. I normally use a LAN cable, but I've also tried going through wireless. 6. Disabled Bitraider and re-installed SWTOR. 7. Completely disabled my Firewall. 8. Tried using various DNSs. Flushed my DNS each time I changed it. I've run Pingplotter while in-game and took a screenshot just after getting disconnected: http://richardmccord.com/Images/SWTOR-Disconnects.png Here is my system: Operating System Windows 10 Pro 64-bit CPU Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.50GHz 33 °C Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

Mongorr Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm getting frequent disconnects on Star Forge since 5.10. Lag spikes, then disco. Sometimes twice in the same fight (KotFE) leading to anomalies like only being able to hit the enemy with ae and not with targeted skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mccordrm Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 I can't figure out how to fix it. I'm basically done with the game until it gets handled. My character is stuck in a Chapter because every time he gets disconnected it starts over. It's *********** sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm starting to get them too. So far I've done most of what the OP has done, and I also updated my video drivers and such and deleted bit raider and repatched the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrEdgeViper Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Ditto. My game ran perfectly until the most recent patch. 5.10b I keep getting disconnected every 5-10 minutes. I am playing on Star Forge and my system has also remained the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urtha Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Wow, the silence is deafening. I am having the same issue on Star Forge, makes me regret re-subbing for 3 months. It's funny, for the past 2 weeks it was fine. I re-subbed today and the disco's start happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaerion Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I am also having problems like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 3. I have upgraded my hard drive to an SSD and (obviously) re-installed everything afterwards. Sorry to necro this, but why is that "obviously"? A few months ago, I upgraded my HD to an SSD(1), and reinstalled *nothing* in the process. I used a disk copying / migration tool to copy everything to the SSD, then rebooted after telling the BIOS to prefer the SSD. Bang, migrated, no reinstall. (1) 2TB HD ==> 2TB SSD. I earn enough money that I can afford to pay for that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so rich, so after my 256GB SSD failed with my o/s on it, I keep my 450GB SSD with nothing on it but the operating system and SWTOR (for load times). Everything else -- other games, programs, music, movies, my documents, are on an HDD to cut down on the number of writes hitting the surviving SSD.

Sure, but that doesn't answer the question: why is it obvious that OP reinstalled everything after upgrading to an SSD? It isn't remotely obvious to me that one would automatically and without hesitation do such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I was fine for a couple of weeks and now the disconnects are happening again. I could barely stay in game long enough to get my SW out of the Ossus library (and I didn't leave her there, I had taken her to her house on Rishi). I couldn't port to her house, or the ship, dc...I tried to run her out of there, got dc. Finally managed to get her out and home again, get dc and she's back in the damn library. Got her home again, if she'll still be there when I log in, is anyone's guess. My drivers and such are all updated, bit raider redone yet again, all connections, modems, router, checked, rebooted and still I get these random dc's. Why is it only this freaking game?

Lunafox Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The game is unplayable for me. I get disconnected now, every 30 seconds to a minute. If I can stay logged in longer than 2 minutes, it's a small miracle. Is there nothing I can do for this? I tried deleting the .xfs files and the config folder in bit raider...I've done all I can think of and nothing works. What could've changed since the weekend, that affects this game so horribly? And it's not my net, others in the household have no issues with other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get "server list unavailable." Last night I just gave up and went off to do other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get "server list unavailable." Last night I just gave up and went off to do other things. That sucks. It's been doing exactly that to me too. It was fine on the weekend up until Sunday, then these crazy DCs. What I ended up trying, and I don't know if it'll help you...I'm still waiting to see if it'll 'hold' but I took off the 'connect automatically' thing through the internet options tab. So, I want Settings to Internet Properties to the connections tab to LAN settings and unticked the box that says 'automatically detect settings.' As I said, for now, it seems to be holding, so I'm hoping this will work. I hope it helps you too. Edited: Just to let you all know, what I did could help you. I've been playing with no DC's since I took the above steps. Good luck. Edited March 1, 2019 by Lunafox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
