Hey everyone! 

As Keith mentioned in the Q3 Producer Letter, we’re looking into SWTOR being playable on Mac machines! We’ve been doing internal testing for a Mac Launcher, and the team feels comfortable opening up a test session for players who are interested in seeing how SWTOR performs with MacOS on Macs with Apple Silicon. For clarity, we are creating a native Mac launcher, not a native Mac game client.  The native Mac launcher is intended to automate all of the prerequisites and settings currently required to play SWTOR on a Mac computer.

We will be hosting a closed technical...

Hi everyone, 

The Q3 2024 quarterly letter has just been published and we encourage you to check it out! All the details can be found here. 

Thanks!

Please @JackieKo, could we get a fix for Vette. The bug for her weapons seem to be fixed but she always has her kotfe/kotet gloves on her when she doesn't wear gloves. I even try the covert energy gloves on her but the bug is the same. Can you find a fix for this bug please. I can't fully enjoy this date with her because I see her kotfe/kotet gloves everytime when she mustn't wear gloves.

Hey everyone,

The team is aware of the bug for this particular DvL boss. A hotfix is not possible, but there is a workaround for this bug that other players have noted above.

• Players will need to pull Preeda onto the sand away from the ridge (the dark brown rocks) where she initially spawns.
• Be careful not to pull her too far from the spawn point to avoid the fight resetting.

The team is working on a fix for this boss, however, it will come in a future patch after the weekly objective is reset. Players will see the fix applied when Preeda is rotated back into the weekly objectives.

Until then, please utilize the workaround suggested above.

Hey everyone, 

Updating this thread regarding the resolution for the purchasing issue that was fixed on September 8th. Impacted players have received their items, however, there may be some players who have not. If you are a player who has not received purchased items from Sept 7-8 and have not reached out to support yet, please do so. Please follow the steps here to contact the support team. 

Thank you

Hey everyone, 

The GS7 objectives for the next several weeks are now available. The updated article can be read here, and will also be posted in the ...

Hey all,

Chatted with the team about this, and there's a couple of things that need to be updated regarding this particular mount.

• First, the Furious Brynjak snuck into Ki'at Thavo's inventory, but really it's supposed to be with Jaliet Nall and available on weeks B and D.
• Ki'at Thavo should have the Armored Brynjak only if:
  • 1) the season is over or
  • 2) a player has a Free/Preferred account.

We'll get the GS7 article updated with the new info and the fix will be included in an upcoming patch! 

Hi folks, 

You’re right, It has been a while since we initially mentioned DirectX12 (DX12)! Development has taken place for the better part of the year and it is still ongoing. We've also added several graphics-focused features and made other adjustments in the last year. The metallic, chrome, and pearlescent dyes, new cinematic lightning and shadows are examples of what’s included in this initiative, along with some changes in 7.6 we’re excited to share with you soon.

With that work completed, the team is back to getting the engine to handle DX12 architecture changes to support object and texture types and a new shader management system. Although we do not have a large announcement to make about DX12 right now, we have been discussing putting an alpha implementation into players’ hands sometime before mid next year. We will share more details closer to when we're ready to begin that testing. 

As a reminder, DX12 sets a new technology baseline...

Hi everyone, 

Servers are now back online. Thanks! 

Good morning everyone, 

We will be taking servers offline in about 15 minutes to deploy Game Update 7.5.1b. When servers are available, I will update this thread. 

Thank you

Hi everyone, 

Game Update 7.5.1b patch notes are now available here. 

Thanks!

Hi everyone, 

As the title suggests, we will be extending Galactic Seasons 7 by a few weeks. This will be called out in the 7.5.1b patch notes (going out later today), but we wanted to give some additional details to this change. Originally, GS7 was going to end on January 7th. However, given that this season will be running over the holidays, we understand that many players would be spending time with loved ones, traveling, going on vacation, etc… So we wanted to give players more time to complete objectives. Galactic Seasons 7 will now be ending on February 18th. 

The in-game date countdown will be updated once 7.5.1b is live. As the season will be extended by 6 weeks, the objectives will just loop back around again beginning with week 1 objectives beginning January 7th. We will continue to post articles covering which objectives are coming up per usual. 

Thanks all!
