Bad launcher

Recommended Posts

Why is it that every time i want to play the game i have to play a gamble of cat and mouse closing and re-opening the launcher just to play. My game launcher is constantly getting stuck on the login with it looking for available updates, then if i can finally get past that and attempt login, after logging in it says login service unavailable and i have to start process all over. If by some god given miracle i can login after 20 min. of attempts, then i get stuck in the next launcher phase to launch the game with once again searching for updates so as the last issue requires i have to close the entire program and restart from the beginning and the process starts all over. If by another god given miracle i can launch the game it is a possibility my game gets stuck in a forever load after launching and i get to wait for eternity waiting to select a server and then after i am able to select a server its another game of fighting with loading into a server with the message that server services are not available and to contact support but after wrestling with it for a few minutes, I am finally able to play the game alone. No matter what i do weather it be reset my pc, Re-download the game and launcher, or repair game, the issue still persists. Never in my life have i had such issues trying to play a game that provides little player interaction that isn't hostile.

Phase 1: Fighting with the launcher to let me login.

Phase 2: Fighting with launcher to get past login.

Phase 3: Fighting with launcher to get past game launcher.

Phase 4: Fighting with sever selection to get to Character selection.

I do not experience this.

You can certainly try contacting the recommended support@swtor.com email address for assistance.  You could also look at EA's support forums for SWTOR as, in my opinion, that is really where technical support issues like this are best addressed.  This forum is for bug reports and the problem you are experiencing is likely not a game bug since most SWTOR players do not have this problem.

Reboot the router/modem just in case

sounds like a antivirus/firewall type issue , otherwise tether a mobile to that PC and see if the same occurs on a GSM network, not local wifi incase its a ISP issue

unable to update - usually antivirus/firewall 
login servers unavailable - usually antivirus/firewall
forever loading screens- can be antivirus/firewall related
