mgorion Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I wish to convey my gratitude and most heartfelt thanks to the SWTOR team, the developers, community members, and all others who dedicated their time and efforts to helping resolve our issues. Speaking for myself, I especially am relieved and very happy to be able to return to my Home away from real life, to find that so far all seems to be well. Thank You BroadSwoard especially for putting up with our complaints and criticism while doing everything possible to resolve issues for us and keep our favorite game running, we are lucky to have you and it shows. ☺️ 6 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luciferior Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) I feel like this needs to be said and granted maybe Im misunderstanding the context of this thread and if thats the case ill adjust my self accordingly... If im spot on then lets dive right into it Im all for thanking broadsword for fixing issues especially if its related to things like people cant log into the game 100% for it. But statements like this " Thank You BroadSwoard especially for putting up with our complaints and criticism while doing everything possible to resolve issues for us and keep our favorite game running, we are lucky to have you and it shows. ☺️" Honestly that statement with the context of involving the game as a whole and all its issues feels completely disingenuous. and truly pisses me off as someone who plays multiple aspects of this game I can personally attest ......They are not doing everything to resolve some of these issues that some of which have been issues since 7.0 One needs only look at this very forum and countless issues ranging from the conquest changes the trade tax introduction to counter inflation the changes to the GTN Listing the state of PvP whether its warzones galactic star fighter class balance you name Anyone with a set of eyes can look at the forum and see the countless issues being discussed that are *NOT* Resolved and have not been for quite sometime which are progressively getting *worse* Now I dont want to make it sound like we shouldnt be happy at the idea broadsword fixed something that im going to assume prevented people from playing thats great truly a good thing if thats what this is about Lets not get ahead of our selves though there are many issues regarding this game that need to be addressed time now to keep them from worsening... If this is a marathon you dont congratulate your self at the first mile marker you can do your victory break dance after you cross the finish line and we are far from the finish line at this point.. If anything some of the player base my self included are wondering if we are even progressing forward instead of going backward Now if I misunderstood the context of your thread then you are welcome to disregard my entire statement or correct me by clarifying what you were referring to and If im wrong then im wrong simple as that and I will own up to it If not then I am going quote Saruman from lord of the rings "So you have chosen death" as this thread might go up in flames as I am willing to wager Im not alone in this mindset that the game in all its issues is far from peachy and *resolved* I like the game truly I do but I dont like being spoon fed crap while under the pretense its just chocolate icecream You and MishaCantu https://content.invisioncic.com/l323375/reactions/react_like.png 1 Edited March 21 by Luciferior 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traceguy Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) You post is basically the same as thanking Walmart for fixing their front door because it was stuck opening for 1 week, and you were forced to shop elsewhere. Fixing what they broke is their job. It's not a voluntary thing. Their job is to provide this game. And people are paying to play. Not fixing it would be counterproductive. A well deserved "thank you" would be if they released an emergency patch on Saturday or Sunday Edited March 21 by Traceguy 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually the people affected by this issue (including me) are going to have to get a computer that meets the minimum required specs. This fix only delayed that inevitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While true, this problem specifically was caused a bug. The character selection screen was loading in high-detail. So this was effecting everyone who isn't already using high graphics to some degree. It just burned the below-minimum spec players the most. Edited March 21 by Traceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait so my r9 5900x, rx 6700xt, rx 580, 32GiB RAM doesn't meet the minimum required specs???? Or was I magically able to play the game when I could not play the game?

If your dedicated VRAM is 1GB or over and you couldn't play the game then you were having a different issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that if someone (at least people i know) having the issue made a new account they could log on that new account with the same pc?

If your dedicated VRAM is 1GB or over and you couldn't play the game then you were having a different issue. For reference, the RX 6700xt has 12GB VRAM, and the RX 580 has 8GB, so I very much have way more than enough. And the patch, well, it did fix my issue. So I guess my ``different issue'' was fixed by the same fix that worked on the main issue. Or it was the same issue. They still haven't said that they would give everyone affected a week of subscription time to make up for the lost time, they haven't said anything specific on how they would compensate.

That is no hardware issue If you were reading the other thread it very much was related to hardware - speifically VRAM. If you only had a few characters you were fine but the more characters you had on a server, the more chance you had that you froze on the title screen. That's why new accounts all worked. They only had one character to process via the VRAM. The more characters you had on a server the less likely your VRAM could handle the load and it froze on the title screen. I could log into all servers except SS on my preferred account as they all had 8 characters or less. SS has 26 and would not load.

That is no hardware issue That's because new accounts have no characters. It was indeed a hardware issued related to a bug on the character selection screen. Also, some games can play on below minimum specs. They're just not intended to be, and as such, you won't be guaranteed a working experience.

Not sure why you couldn't login, but glad to hear you can now, if it was going to affect AMD cards they all would be affected, High end Nvidia cards were not affected either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
