Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

Good morning everyone, 

We're getting ready to deploy Game Update 7.4.1a:

• Time: 9:30am CT / 2:30pm UTC
• Estimated downtime: 2 hours

I'll update this thread when the servers are back up. 

Hi everyone,

Chiming in to give you all an idea of what to expect for tomorrow. We do intend on taking down the servers to roll out 7.4.1a which would fix the K-NorCo B5C Mount from the Join the Fight bundle. However, we do not have an exact time scheduled just yet as there are levels of verification and testing that needs to be happen. Once I have this information, I will update this thread. What I can say at this time that estimated downtime is approximately two (2) hours.

Thanks all.

Hi everyone, 

Wanted to put together a short checklist/troubleshooting guide as we’re seeing reports of players being unable to get past the key art loading screen. 

Security programs

• Be sure to add the game AND launcher on the allowlist for any security programs (anti-virus, firewall, etc…) Depending on what programs you are using, you will have to look up how to add SWTOR executables to the allowlists. Adding only one or the other may not allow the game to play correctly. 

Subscriber vs Preferred/F2P accounts being able to log in

• There are reports of some players with Subscriber accounts being unable to log into the game, however, if they create a new account, the new account is able to log in. We recommend that impacted accounts delete the settings folder that is typically found here: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings
• Before d...

Hey folks,

I wanted to give you a quick heads up on our plans for the next little bit as we have 3 patches coming to you in pretty short order.

7.4.1a will be coming ASAP, likely tomorrow. This is to address an issue that the Join the Fight mount is not currently working at level 1 as intended. Jackie will be posting details once we have locked down maintenance timing.

7.4.1b is right on the horizon, targeting early/mid next week followed by 7.4.1c in the next 2-3 weeks. We are tracking a variety of emerging issues for these patches such as Ancient Armaments and Conquest/Rep change. I’ll be back later today or early tomorrow with a follow-up post about our internal conversations following your feedback on the Conquest/Rep changes.

I’m gonna lock this thread for now and will respond here later. I will reopen the thread when I do!

Thanks all, talk soon.

Hi all, 

We're using this space to track known issues regarding 7.4.1, and will be updating as needed.  

• Players may notice that winning a Warzone match doesn't grant double points for Heading the Frontline season objective. 
• New Fitted equipment is a bit over-represented in world drops and treasure hunting boxes are affected as a result. We'll be altering the drops a bit to bring the original drops from worlds closer to how they were before.
• The new Fitted equipment is not listable in the GTN. This is not intended.
• The "Edifice Engineer", “The Builder”, and "Grand Architect" season vendor titles are not unlocking in Collections.
   

While this is not directly tied to 7.4.1, we did want to call out that we are aware that some Steam players are being required to accept the EULA agreement upon every log in and are looking into a fix. 

Hey folks!

We are seeing reports from players who are confused with how the Galactic Seasons 6 currency functions. This was not originally included in the GS6 article, but the two intended changes below will be reflected there and in the patch notes as well. 
 
Reputation Track
Galactic Seasons 6 does not have a Reputation track like previous seasons. There is still an item to collect the same way you collected Reputation currency in the past. However, it is for Achievement tracking only and progress is granted when you collect it - you're safe to sell them for credits! It’s worth noting that these will cease to drop when you’ve unlocked the achievement.

Reputation Conquest Objective
The amount of Conquest points earned for the Reputation Conquest Objective was reduced. This particular objective was over-represented in objectives completed and needed to be balanced. We've added new objectives to h...

Hi everyone,

Star Forge is back online! Appreciate your patience with the issues players were seeing with how the GTN was functioning on the Star Forge server. There were reports of some auctions that were purchased on the GTN not arriving in the buyers’ Claim Window.

We have identified the issue and it has been fixed. For players whose items were impacted by this issue, credit and item refunds will be applied back onto their accounts during tomorrow’s maintenance.

Thanks!
