Follow up to my follow up - after making sure that both launchers/clients had unchecked any compatibility settings *and* making sure that the PTS "swtor.exe" file had "Run as Admin" checked (the regular launcher.exe already had "Run as Admin" checked), the server list populated and I was able to get in. Or, more accurately, I didn't see a server list and was able to select/create characters. Thanks to the devs & @JackieKofor getting around to posting about this. c To clarify - it wasn't *just* the compatibility mode. When all compatibility modes were "unchecked", I still got the empty server list (launcher was "Run as admin", PTS swtor.exe was not). Changing the PTS exe to "Run as Admin" fixed it. --Mop

Tried that, didn't seem to work for me. Any other suggestions? Still have an empty PTS server list....

@JackieKo, we *really* need some info about this. I'm starting to get nervous. I've been trying to log into PTS since it opened with the 64-bit client and *still* have a blank server list. I'm getting seriously worried that this update will roll out and I'll just not be able to play at *all*. We *seriously* need an update from the devs as to what could be causing this and how to resolve it. Some of us won't even have a *chance* to try to get the fancy "help us out on the PTS" mount since we can't even *pick a server*!

Unlikely, I have an Intel processor and get a blank selection screen.

Liked this post in the hopes of it getting attention. I can't help test if I can't pick a server! Again, no crashing, just.....a blank server screen and a very lonely-sounding mouse droid....

Still getting no server to select 😕

They're up for me

I *sincerely* hope that's an automated process.....

All of the "it crashed for me too when I was transporting!" reports are funny to me, because that tells me it *didn't* crash then. It feels like some process on the server knew something was up, and is kicking people off as they transport so as to bring the # of logged in down to 0. For example, I was in a Vet Esseles FP and we had a *huge* lag spike for a good minute or so where the game was unresponsive. It eventually recovered and we finished the the remaining bosses in the flashpoint, but as soon as I left the flashpoint to load to fleet, crash. Makes me think we were doomed as soon as that lag spike happened. I don't have any experience in servers, programming MMOs, etc. but that seems more likely than everyone just happening to have a crash when they QT somewhere...

I would *hope* there are people "on call" for situations like this, though. Probably will be a while yet, though. Get comfortable and be patient.

Guess I'll go do laundry and clean the house and paint some minis. Hope it's up for raid time tonight.

Definitely Down

I that seems "normal". Doing every mission (which is what I normally do) gets you *way* over-leveled. The only reason you didn't typically get *too* over-leveled before they introduced the level-sync is because all the enemies you killed didn't count for anything since you were too over-level, and the missions granted less xp (since they were for a lower level). Level sync killed that, and there's not really a way around it. My guess is they've tuned it so that players hit 50 by the end of the class story if they *only* do those missions.

I just wanted to add that I would occasionally get the Error 961 SyncTimeoutError, but when it resolved I was still presented with the empty server list. Probably going to stop trying to test until hearing from the devs that they think they solved the empty list issue, so we should try again.

Dude, I don't want to pick a fight, but this is pretty awful advice. 1.) He said he got the empty server screen, not a crash, so he's at least loading the game. I can't imagine it would get that far if he's on 32-bit Win10 Pro. 2.) "Blocked by Firewall " might be true, but try being more helpful. If it's blocked by the firewall or Windows Defender, can you provide ports /etc that need to be opened? Or instructions on how others have circumvented the problem? 3.) "Reinstall Win10" is insane. Reinstalling an entire OS should only ever be done as a last resort. If anyone (dev or otherwise) on this thread has encountered the "blank server list" and actually overcome it, please help! Is seems as though there are quite a few of us and the issue doesn't seem to be getting addressed. What do you (devs) need from us to fix the problem! Let us know and we'll provide it! --Mop
