Dev Post JackieKo Posted September 18, 2023 Dev Post Share Posted September 18, 2023 Hello everyone! We are moving into the final stage of migrating the last two servers over to the cloud! Details below. Date: September 20th Time: 7am CT / 12pm UTC Expected downtime: 6 hours For this rollout, players should expect for all servers to remain offline for the duration of the maintenance window. This is to account for additional testing on every server to ensure that all servers behave and perform cohesively and there are no interruptions to the player experience. As always, we will be posting in relevant threads with updates on when the servers will be taken down and when they are brought back up. Thanks! 7 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post JackieKo Posted September 20, 2023 Author Dev Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 Good morning, everyone! We will be taking down servers in approximately 15 minutes to begin migrating Satele Shan and Star Forge over to the cloud. Please remember that expected downtime is 6 hours for all servers this time around. I'll provide updates here as I get them. Thanks! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saeten Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Might just be me and my potato computer, but I've had to force close the Launcher twice already. It gets stuck on "Checking for Update". Third time launching the launcher worked. I have this issue nearly every day since last patch.

vadess Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I don't know if this is related to the cloud move, but it might because the mission was working on Monday. The mission Tower Core on Oricon is now bugged. I enter the story area, disable the three terminals, and the shield around the core doesn't drop, so the encounter with the tower commander can't be started.

Jelina Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Have been unable to gain access to game through launcher for almost a week now on steam and from direct download & install.

This happened to one of my characters quite some time ago. I'm sorry that I can't remember how I resolved it though, just that I did end up resolving it somehow. You may want to try resetting the mission and doing it again. I know, a real pain. I successfully completed all the Oricon dailies on both Republic and Empire faction toons yesterday so your bugged Tower Core mission on Oricon doesn't seem to be a universal issue post-transition to the cloud.

Thank you for point that out. My problem however I believe was somehow related with my OS, as after performing an OS reinstallation I was able to login once again. Wish I could tell you exactly what was the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starschwar Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) I'm on Satele Shan. The game has become incredibly unstable for me now. Switching to/from windowed mode with Alt + Tab or the menu crashes the game more than half the time. Any sort of loading screen - a crash is likely. It's unplayable now. Anyone else having this issue? Edited September 22, 2023 by starschwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else having this issue? Yes, it is a little buggy at times on both Star Forge and Satele Shan. Like DM, it will probably take a few days to work itself out and then it should be more or less back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlacrityFitzhugh Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Been seeing a lot of huge lag spikes since SS moved to the cloud, occasionally getting dumped. I'm in the PNW, if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the PNW, if that matters. That happened with the European servers as well. The lag spikes did settle down eventually but I did end up with a significantly worse ping even though the route seems to be the same. In addition, I also see worse ping during European off-hours than during "prime-time". It has been consistently that way since the lag spikes settled down. It seems to be some sort of "burn-in" with the new servers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
