[Measley]

Wow, everything works fine for me. Sorry others are having so many issues.

 

[Kai]

So i am trying to game the system - will tell you if it works...

basically i deleted all logs then switched my account settings log file to remove the darth malak server and put in another server name i.e. carth onasi.

Lets see if it boots me to a different server.

Probably been answered, but the e-mail I got was woefully vague. Am I eligible for play this weekend, or the next one? There was no link in the e-mail whatsoever.

That sounds like the next one. The real one should have said the dates in it.

 

[MadraptorMan]

So let me get this straight. I got a weekend beta invitation tonight, but it's not for this weekend? When is it for, next weekend? Will they send me a separate email with a link to the client download and all of that later?

Yeah if you got an invite tonight it is for sometime "later this month", and they will send you another email saying the dates. I got my invite for this weekend on like Monday and the invite for the future one today.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Well I have been at this cog screen for 45 mins. Does the disconnect the internet trick work to get back to the server select screen? I don't want to do it and have to start this queue shit over.

 

[Trouble]

Damn, CTD and now I can't get back in. :-(

Had my Sith Inquisitor all the way to level 4.

Thanks, I was assuming it was something like that. Still a bad e-mail to send, I imagine a lot of people being confused by this.

Or that was their intention, to send a vague e-mail, thus triggering a mass influx of confused users on the forums and so stress-testing their forums.

Solution to get back to the server select

1) Open the launcher and login
2) BEFORE pressing Play, disconnect the ethernet cable from your PC
3) Press play with ethernet cable disconnected, wait about a minute
4) You'll be at a blank server screen, plug the ethernet back in
5) Wait another 30s, the list will repopulate
6) Pick another server

 

[Filth]

For error code 6 make sure you dont have a stray swtor.exe running (via taskmgr) and your hard drive isn't full. Need at least 2gb free.

[Vamphuntr]

I have a closed beta key from the IGN Prime thing. Must be redeemed before 11/18/2011 midnight CST. PM if you want it.

You need to have SWTOR account or create one.

EDIT : Gone, went to Duesy

PM'd

 

[Freyjadour]

Yep... my brother is getting a black screen with just a mouse cursor. If you click randomly, shit happens in the background...

Luckily there is 11.9 and 11.10, so he's going to upgrade.

Yeah, I just hate doing that with Catalyst drivers. Feel lucky to have any kind of stability.

 

[bloodforge]

Figures I select one of the high pop servers(Cosmic Turbine).

 

[Emitan]

Is anyone else having issues with the launcher?

This worked! Just FYI, the last server Khoonda Militia now has a queue of ~60.

 

[B-Dex]

Welp I won't be playing. Crashes everytime at startup. Posted on their forums b4 they disabled logging in and also emailed them, but doubt anything will be done.

2 of the dlls for it keep crashing it b4 it starts the game.

Really lame.

 

[theshizzle]

can anybody get it to run in windowed mode?

Thanks that worked!! Now just sitting in a server que, I am 470 on the last server for PVE available

 

[MaddenNFL64]

So looks like everyone & their mama got in on the next weekend beta. Even me. So... test the shit out of this one (if you can even get in lol), so my experience is better .

 

[ksimm]

Oh... I'm in! How can I play this and Skyrim though. :[

 

[WarMacheen]

Position in que 1

Wait time...2x longer than the wait to go from 300...to 1

The que positions are a lie.



EDIT: got booted, now I'm 1359

Welcome to the 2 day beta, sorry you can't get in lulz

sigh, F you Bioware I'm off to play BF3

 

[bloodforge]

Been sitting in the loading screen queue for 45mins. Ridiculous.

 

[Cipherr]

Yeah, Im out.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Oh man, the rage from the queues this weekend is gonna be glorious.

I'm kinda surprised though. I thought Bioware had their shit together with the servers. Guess not. And they're going into bonkers territory next weekend beta. They are screwed lol.

 

[FLEABttn]

You don't. You only play SWTOR.

For people stuck with the spinning blue cog of death follow these instructions and pick a different server

Well these are supposed to be stress tests, so they are getting some good data lol

 

[Squalltdx]

Stress test + new wave of beta weekend players @ same time = (insert blank)

Sucks for people with limited time.

 

[Hari Seldon]

First impressions: Amazing. 2nd best opening to an MMO besides Age of Conan haha.

 

[bloodforge]

Doesnt work for me, on a wireless connection.

Lies. You're staring at a rotating logo like everyone else.

 

[FLEABttn]

The opening to SWTOR is insane.

I didn't get in this weekend, but I was in last month. This game is good. It'll be the first MMO I dump time into since 2004.

 

[wowzors]

Hit level 6 from quests and now there are none on my map and nothing to do. I dont even.

 

[razgriz417]

really? I have a wireless connection as well. After logging in, I disabled my wireless card then hit play, waited until the blank server screen came up and reenabled my wireless card.

 

[CzarTim]

I was able to get to level five after two hours without the slightest problem. Decided to take a break, but sucks that so many of you are having issues.

 

[Azzurri]

I can't even log in to the site, although i've put in the right word verifacation

Launcher just disconnects for me.

 

[reggieandTFE]

This queue time is absurd. It has taken exactly 30 minutes for me to go from position 936 to 415.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

This game is amazing.

 

[Thoraxes]

Wait... Are some people complaining about queues in a stress test beta?
:lol

I understand your excitement to try the game, but to complain about the entire reason why you were invited in the first place is funny.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Where do I download the client for this weekend's testing?
