TheDemonHunter Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Starting yesterday, I've been unable to connect to anything SWTOR account related with a VPN running. I've seen a few reports of the same on the SWTOR sub reddit but haven't seen reported here yet. Screenshots in links below. I'm using the Steam launcher, but given that the same problem exists for both the game and the website, that doesn't seem to be relevant. The launcher is missing the splash image on the right and when I enter my account info to log in, it gives me the infinite swirling tech circle. The SWTOR website won't let me log in and eventually times out as unable to connect to account.swtor.com With my VPN turned off, I can access everything normally. This really needs to be fixed so the game and website can be accessed with a VPN active, as they were prior to this week.
Adahman Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 I think I have the same issue or something like it. I'm using Express VPN and since yesterday, I keep getting an empty server list. I have used Express VPN with SWTOR for MONTHS with ZERO issues. For some reason, in the past two days, I can not. No errors or anything, just an empty server list. VPN off, it works as advertised.

DanireNabbboo Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) for the ExpressVPN ppl I've found a temp work around if your in the US, better to be Central/East Coast area. Use USA - Tampa - 1 as your connection and for the time being I am able to login and play without any issues. I will comb through some other locations and try to find others that may work.

sataniceclipse Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 I am facing the same issue. This has never happened before when I use ExpressVPN. It was fine just last week. If I do not use VPN, I am unable to connect at all as it will then say "The login service is unavailable." But if I use VPN then I get the infinite blue circle that is stuck loading forever. Please help I have been unable to play for days.
Kristallia Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 I havent had any issues with my VPN, it might be VPN specific issue 🤔
CaldoChaud Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 I have this problem on occasion. I think it is traffic-related. What I have started to do is rotate my VPN's servers. Some servers have better days of service than others. Another thing I do is use BleachBit before I go online to flush the software cashes - which seems to help things run more smoothly.
