AngharThallmar Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Why are there 2 servers? No matter which one I go to it has access to my normal German server and to the test server. Characters, legacy, unlocks...everything is the same. The only difference is that the test server in the launcher updates itself every time, even if it is not much and goes fast.

MortenJessen Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) You should not have acces to the PTS right now, unless you talk about the Shae Vizla. And you actively have to enable that one. If you have transferred your characters from Live to PTS then yes it is the same. If not, well, since you say it is the same GERMAN language on both servers, I doubt that it is the Shae Vizla PTS server. Try to take a few screenshots of the situation and send them to the dev team, since it sounds like an altogether new bug.

Actually you don’t have to manually enable the Shae Vizla test server like you usually do with the PTS. It will automatically be in the server list for everyone. All you have to do is click on it to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for obvious reasons I can not see PTS either, so I will have to check out what is going on when I get back to my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortenJessen Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Ok, I relent. I can actually see Shae Vizla, but it was greyed out because I had (just made one) no toons there. Re-reading OP I just realized this: On 4/8/2023 at 9:29 PM, AngharThallmar said: No matter which one I go to it has access to my normal German server and to the test server Making me think he means launchers... But if that is the case, it still does not explain if he means PTS or the new Shae Vizla. Because I can not remember if all servers are greyed out if you dont have toons on them (I now have on all servers but PTS). I guess if he does mean the PTS it IS quite weird.

I encourage you to reach out to support and supply some screenshots to them as it is not very clear what you are referring to. If you mean environments, there will only be two options, SWTOR and Public Test. Choosing the first would take you the list of live servers which should include: Satele Shan Star Forge Darth Malgus Shae Vizla (APAC Test Server) The Leviathan Tulak Hord If you are only seeing two servers on the live server screen, you will want to reach out to support. Choosing the Public Test environment would take you to the PTS, but that is currently closed as MortenJessen pointed out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngharThallmar Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) First Second The same servers are listed on both. I can also access my character on both with all the trimmings. The only difference is that in the 'public test' another 35 GB were downloaded. Then again 3GB, then 2 GB etc., at the moment nothing is downloaded anywhere.

MortenJessen Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Wow, that should not even be possible. As for the constant downloads with the PTS, if you take a peak at the PTS forum, you will see that that was very much a theme 😠. For that reason alone, stay away from the PTS. All you get out of it is that you actually destroy your installed SWTOR, because what it does is repairing files over and over, that does not require repair... until they do 😡 And then, the only solution is a complete removal of SWTOR (only what you need to do in Windows Apps, dont try to clean up the utility files in program and user folder, as these holds your UI and interface setups. Unless you want to make changes to those any way.) Stick to the Live list. As an aside, that is not the Server list, that is the Environment list. The Server list looks like this: Which server YOU should CHOOSE in SWTOR | 101 Guide (2021) - YouTube at 0.24 (yes I know, but I dont have a picture of the server list).
