Connecting to a non-English Server seems to make it go away, sometimes for a day or two, then it comes back. This is NOT a local Anti Virus Issue. You've got a bad version number on one of your North American English patching servers. If the user happens to hit that particular instance they get nailed with the problem.

Skolops Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I also have the problem. I've never had the game log in and tell me the server version doesn't match - it will just redownload the whole patch about half the time when I log in. The other half the time it will work as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolops Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) I tried the "change language" thing and now all of my in game text is missing and replaced with strings like, "loc:263:portraitbar". The menus have no text, the character abilities have no text, the maps have no text, etc. I couldn't even quit the game without alt-f4ing because there was no button to quit.

Amodin Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Just starting running into this issue tonight. Last night it was the game version/server version error that I've never seen before. Tonight, I am downloading 14GB, and it's not checking files, it's downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolops Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Not sure if it's related, but after I finally got the game to actually complete the download and run tonight, many of the animations are just sortof... "missing," For example, on my Gunslinger the Aimed Shot will fire, but the character won't do the actual animation of raising his arms and firing.

Fenrirxero Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Update: Got the big 36 gb update again... I was really hoping it wouldn't come up again. Please fix this game! I'm getting tired of having to download this freaking patch every 3 or 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhaedrusFive Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 This started happening to me yesterday. It re-downloaded the 35 GB of game files, then said I had the game version mismatch. I logged out and back in, and it downloaded the whole thing AGAIN. Today, it *only* downloaded 2-ish GB patch before I got in. Comcast has a data cap. I can't be downloading 35 GB of data every day.

Fenrirxero Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 what in the world is going on with this game!? I'm having to download 36 gbs again!!! I'm about to cancel my subscription because this is really starting to piss me off!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loenix Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Also having these issues (NA, Rise Broadband) - need to DL about 2 GB every day or two, which is really irritating when my antiquated ISP charges for exceeding monthly DL limits (especially when my wife and I started again a week before the last major update only to have to reDL 35 GB x2, heh). It's looking like we're just going to have to cancel our subs and wait until we move in the next year or so if this keeps up. Really glad we haven't had to DL the entire game like some of you have had to post-7.2.1 =/ (We've also gotten the version mismatch error a few times after "updating," but fortunately we've been able to get right in after restarting the launcher so far).

mattraoh Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Having this issue since installing the 64 client. Europe - English Server - no test server. Older Laptop, close to not passing requirements Luckily it does not install the full 35gb-ish (3 - 5 hrs for me) but it seems that it does a recovery (only ~15mins) ... with the wrong client version ?! Small DL => BIG recovery => Start Game => wrong version => automatic exit Wait 15mins => small DL => start game => works fine For me it seems to happen when i switch charakters. Changing Language does NOTHING (for this bug) but DL 9gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockForce Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Same thing is happening to me. The game version doesn't match server version. Only anto virus is windows defender. NA and using xfinity. I've only had the 35gb update once then some smaller updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeraphSWTOR Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) I'm having the same problem. Up until yesterday, the launcher was working fine, and then it started downloading some 120Mb update. I shut it down, relaunched it and it worked fine until this evening, where it started downloading the 36Gb patch. I'm in EU (France), usually playing on StarForge and my ISP is FreeTelecom. Why is this happening? EDIT: Now I also get the "game version not matching the server's" error message, but I can still log on my toon...

Second log in it downloaded about 2 gig and I had the miss-matched sever warning again. But I could log into my toon. I am in NA on AT&T fiber and i have swtor cleared on my firewall list.

AlainaFlute Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I'm now on day 3 where this hasn't happened. I didn't change anything on my end. No idea why the multiple downloads happened in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhaedrusFive Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 It just wanted me to download 35 GB AGAIN. Absolutely not. I'll start billing BioWare for my bandwidth overages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. People refuse to install Steam because it's a system on a system to run a game. It's like adding an unnecessary middle man. I personally add only the minimal software to my computers, and since there are no games I play that even need Steam. That being said, I might consider installing it just to keep this from happening, assuming my old computer can even handle the extra resources needed to run it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
