Thank you for your help. It took awhile and I can finally log in. Don't really know why now. I always use Fullscreen (window) so that wasn't it. Also couldn't get into the Graphics to check until the screen got fixed.

Well it worked for a couple days but got overwritten today. Resolution does not change when loading SWTOR. So am not sure what to do now. The diskcacharena file is just over 1GB. However only contains 14 bytes. Deleting the file between the login and play causes the login to freeze. It is not worth my time to continue with this. Thanks for the help though

Thank you for bringing it up. I think I may have found a way around it. Deleting the file discachearena does get rid of the "orange screen". However the file is regenerated evey time I login and requires it be deleted again at every login. Unfortinuately the file has to be accessable to the login process, If the file is not found or read-only or the folder set to not have security, the login exits. Also the new created file only contains a few used bytes and is over 99% empty. This lack of information is probably what causes the screen problems. I replaced it with the file from an old swtor backup and so far it works. So far SWTOR has not overwritten it.

oops -- hit the exit key Anyway PC is ASUS Z900, Intel i7-14700k, video Nvidia GeForce RTX4070 12GB I have had not had any problems with other games that I play or any other programs

After the last patch I can no longer get to the character screen as it is completely red-orange. Happened once before after a patch but was able to fix it. Nothing that I have tried solves the problem. Used suggestions from this forum and Microsoft and other internet webs. I guess SWTOR is out of gaming. Been here since day one, sad to "retire". PC

Sry but I cannot deal with the numerous changes anymore. The new GTN is the straw on my camel's back. Been here since pre-launch and put up with alot of junk lately. This is the last! Canceled subscription. Bye

I have 5 crafters that had sold on GTN (old GTN). I have had a large percentage of things I listed to sell disappear. They are not listed on GTN, they are not in my inventory, mail or anywhere and there is no additional $$$ anywhere. So far I have "LOST" ~$3,000,000 on first day. Obviously cannot continue to craft or sell. How long will it take to fix it??? Have played since pre-launch and am running out of patience! Calculating the cost of upgrading my Guardian/Sentinel from 334/336 to 340 is over $30,000,000. Also getting the tech fragments and conquest commendations will take at least a couple months.

Or email the seller and negotiate the number desired. Typically they have some left over. It has happened to me as I have several crafters.

I recently purchased $500k+ of Vacierde memory card off of GTN. The 500k+ is gone. I was then suppose to have 6 units in stock, as I already had 3 from splicing lvl 4. I really do not like the new GTN. I needed 5 units. I selected them one at a time, first 3 totaled $500k,+. The 4th jumped to $2000000+. Base price went from $200000- to $700000+. In the previous version you could find the amount wanted and could negotiate with the seller. On new version can't even find that information. Am member since original beta and am pretty upset with a number of changes but have managed to somewhat enjoy playing (though substantially less time). Very disappointed with the new GTN.

There aree a lot of things that I can't stand with the new "expansion". But the being solo and all of a suden becoming part of a "group" sucks most. I started over a dozen fights with mobs to finish a heroic quest. All of a suden there are 4-5 others fighting the same mobs (all assassins hiden). For some reason, although I started the fight, when it was over I did not get any credit in the heroic quest. Had to wait until everyone left to get any credit at all. This has happened on 3 herroic quests so far, 2 story and 1 vet quest. Bring ninja'd before was bad enough for solo but this is rediculus.

Jumped from EQ1 to EQ2 around the time EQ2 started. Played it for about 6 years. I still might go back for a look as the new 7.0 is driving me nuts.

I apologize for the topic (not off topic) but I could not find another forum that this would be acceptable. Sry again but had to get off of me or I would drown. I have been playing since the late 90's with Korean games and have alpha and beta tested over a dozen games. Also have been started and run a number of guilds. I am not a noob but this change is just too much. Guess I have to look for something else Currently have 22 characters, 14 on one server adn 8 on another. Of the 22, 18 were maxerd out with ampifiers and armor sets related to their character spec. Of the 8 others 4 are maxed out. Or should say were maxed out. Three are now at level 80 but I see no improvement in character action/fight. I can see why quests reset every 21 or so hours. But I do not have time with babysitting grandkids then to complete most of the quests in the alloted time. Just doing the ones that I can complete is unbarably boring. And even the ones that I haven't started are reset................ Getting rid of the amplifiers and removal of armor set specifics has eliminated over $100,000,000 in character costs. The alternate specifications allowed don't really help much in that the quickbars need to be re-formed on specification change. On opening my chaaracters, the quick bars were all messed up and had to be redone. Quickbars 4 and 5 were interchanged position and content. Doing heroics for crates {approximaately 80 heroics required for each of the 4 alliance characters) is useless now. All of the enclosed armor is at $0 and cannot be sold. It has to be removed from your inventory one piece at a time. Takes a long time and eliminates the cash obtained from their sale. I feel that the amount of time I had invested in the continually changing interface has been a total waste. Two of the previous guilds are no longer and I don't forsee joining another. Solo play now sucks as mobs that I beat previouslly are now a toss-up. Lvl 75 characters that had never died now have about a 50% chance of death. Had I just started, it weould probably be ok but after 20 years in SWTOR this is just too much. In short the game is not fun anymore.

got to the sarlacc pit stage but being a merc I have not been able to find a way to get to the pit. Anyone got any ideas? lol have 24 toons, 17 maxed out, but had been not playaing for a while on most of them and forgot most stuff. was for a new merc toon that had not been on tatooine yet other than the thorn tent and spike. feel pretty idiotic atm >:<

have 2 BioChem at 75 and have made a few of each stim and med. For what it cost in time and materials unless you do alot of ops I found that it is way cheaper to use the purple variety. haave 10 maxed out toons but because of other crafts only 2 are bio. All the others have to use the purples anyway. Just 2 cents

been having lag spikesof 2 - 5 sec for the last week when on Gree but nothing like to day. Running 10-15 sec delays 4 times per minuite. Reloaded, relogged, changed connection and isp with no change. Game is totally unplayable. Played from day one but nothing ever this bad. To the guy who changed to Vancover, have been using NORD VPN for several years. Changed locations in the US, Canada and Germany and without VPN all with the same results - min 10 sec delays.
