(64bit) update issue 7.2.1 - no server list

64-Bit_update_issue

I had the following issue before when trying out the PST - but the service didn't want to help me: no pst support.

Now, however, the same issue with the update from 28.03.2023:

-The launcher starts, wants me to login. So far so good.
-patch notes says: 7.2.1 (as it should be)
-Afterwards it updated the game (35gb) - seems to be ok, did this only once, as intended (this was different with the PST)
-Than about 12 secounds where nothings seems to happen (as it was before :-/ )
-Than I see the loading (full-) screen for about 76 secounds.

Instead of being logged in into the last server used, I see the server selection-screen
HOWEVER: no server is desplayed, nor is any (error-) message displayed. 
Only an empty window on an empty screen (the swtor logo is shown)

So I can't select a server, I can't start the game, which was possible some (4 or so) hours ago!

Searching the internet made me test the following things, all without any success!

- internet connections are very good level (ftp, http, etc.)

- repair box is gray, can't be selected at game start

- compatibilty mode (was off, tried it in windows 7, both no success)
- start as admin  (explicit checked on, but as always before starting the program, he is asking me if I wanna allow the game to have acces > yes)

- Bitraider -> deleted, config / ini file changed

- Turned off: vpn, PC-firewall, windows - defender (don't blame me, just for short testing purposes! :-/ )

- Crystal disk sys: health of hdd is fine.

- time server synchonised.

- fritzBox: complete access allowed for the PC (onyl for testing purposes, too!)
- fritzbos self-test : OK
- fritzbos turned off for a complete night.

- reinstalled direct-X (newest version already on PC)
- installed, again, c++ runtime 2015-2022 

SO, what die bioware changed in the update, that it can't find the servers?
using Windows 11 (win10 on PST : same problem!)
Gforce rtx 2060 super, core i7-6700 3.4 GHz, 32 GB RAM

Any suggestions what might going wrong here?

try windows 8 compat

THANKS! that wasn't the solution, however, but it gave me a hint.

I changed the compatibility mode of the game  (seems logical, isn't it) , but now I disabled the compatibility mode for the LAUNCHER!

now I am in the toon selection.

thanks for your support!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

I was having this issue, the swtor.exe compatibility change didn't help but LucifersDrache's pointer to go to the Launcher.exe (same location) has given me back the game!
