Stalha Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I had the same issue, but I was able to fix it by turning compatibility mode off for both executables as suggested by a few other posts in the Testing 64 bit thread. Go to the SWTOR directory (for me that was Windows (C:)/Program Files (x86)/Electronic Arts/BioWare/Star Wars - The Old Republic), right click on launcher.exe, select Properties, go to the Compatibility tab, and make sure the compatibility mode box is unchecked. Do the same check for the PTS launcher, which is at Star Wars - The Old Republic/publictest/retailclient/swtor.exe. Once my two launchers had the same compatibility settings, the PTS showed up in my server select screen. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there ever a point in the past where you manually updated compatibility mode? Possibly for other workarounds? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have an empty PTS server list.... I ended up completely deleting the retail and PTS (the whole SWTOR folder) and "bleaching" it's location with a "complete removal" application from McAfee. Both compatibility mode check boxes were unchecked before I did this and was still getting the blank server screen (re-installing just the PTS didn't fix it either). A complete re-download of the game isn't ideal, but since I have really fast internet it seemed worth a try after I had exhausted everything else I could think of (antivirus, firewall, IP traceback, etc). I'm suspecting something about the two launchers conflicted (possibly from the launcher upgrade a while back) and the re-install cleared it up.

Hi Jackie, I can't be 100% sure, but I don't remember ever manually updating compatibility mode in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember when, but some time ago, prior to 7.0, the retail client had an issue and running it in compatibility mode was a known fix. I set the retail launcher to run in compatibility mode at that time and never changed it back. Both clients are still working for me now so the original issue that necessitated using compatibility mode has probably been long since fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have an empty PTS server list.... Follow up to my follow up - after making sure that both launchers/clients had unchecked any compatibility settings *and* making sure that the PTS "swtor.exe" file had "Run as Admin" checked (the regular launcher.exe already had "Run as Admin" checked), the server list populated and I was able to get in. Or, more accurately, I didn't see a server list and was able to select/create characters. Thanks to the devs & @JackieKofor getting around to posting about this. c To clarify - it wasn't *just* the compatibility mode. When all compatibility modes were "unchecked", I still got the empty server list (launcher was "Run as admin", PTS swtor.exe was not). Changing the PTS exe to "Run as Admin" fixed it. --Mop Edited February 16, 2023 by jbuncher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakapaado Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Uncheck "compatibility mode" and check "run as admin" on both "launcher.exe" and PTS "swtor.exe" fixed empty server list. Atleast for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
