Dear TaitWatson: The Companion Romance System NEEDS to be fixed.

Hey everyone,

We have seen quite a few reports about the Romance system being broken, and I wanted to clarify a few things. A number of the issues being reported are not, in fact, bugged.

The big one is Iresso. While Iresso is not alone in not acknowledging your romance, he has become the name surrounding the whole situation. In this case, there is a bug the romance variables for some of the pre-KOTFE companions are being improperly assessed, leading to the appearance that they arent romanced even if they are. This fix is scheduled for 4.1 but is not finalized yet. What should have occurred is that when you completed Chapter I of Fallen Empire, you would receive a mail from your romance. We believe that this issue is also affecting pre-KOTFE content as well; please let us know once the fix is live if you notice any issues. It is worth pointing out that this change is not retroactive: if you have already started Fallen Empire, you will not receive the letter.

I have also seen mention of not being able to romance one of the new characters (Lana, Theron, Koth) being a bug. As far as we can tell, this is not bugged at this time. In order to romance these characters, you must consistently choose flirt options with them throughout KOTFE (having a relationship with Theron or Lana back in Shadow of Revan also contributes to their romances, but is not required) and you must choose a particular option in Chapter IX to pursue a full romance with one of them. If anyone finds that this is not the case for their character, definitely let us know!

As for Courting gifts, we are aware that they are only able to be consumed by Nico Okarr. At first we thought he was just greedy, but we found out its because of the change from Affection to Influence, and the Courting Gifts not making the appropriate swap. This is also scheduled for Game Update 4.1.

Best,

Tait

Happy 2016 everyone!

Just to alleviate any concerns, we are here. There will be information on upcoming live streams, patch release dates, and more, coming soon. I am hoping to get some details out before the end of the week.

I removed the stickies because they were for announcements that were no longer relevant (the FAQ articles moved) or for older blog content (the Alliance). No alarm needed, I just did a little 2016 house cleaning. Before you know it there will be more stickies to occupy the top of a General Discussion near you

Hey folks,

We have identified the issues that caused the Bounty Contract Week to not activate as expected. Due to the nature of the issues and the impending holiday, we will not be fixing the event and it will return as scheduled in January.

I apologize for any inconvenience, and hope you enjoy Life Day and the Double XP event!

Thanks!

#2 Server Restarts - 12/22

Hey everyone!

All servers are now available!

As part of this downtime, we have updated the security certificates on our Launcher Repair Utility and SWTOR Installer due to Microsoft no longer supporting the one we were using as of 1 January 2016. This, however, will result in XP and Vista users encountering errors when attempting to run the LRU or the Installer, as XP and Vista do not support the new SHA-2 certificates.

When you run the Launcher Repair Utility or Installer on XP youll get an Open File - Security Warning dialog stating that the Publisher is Unknown. You can select Run from this warning dialog. On Vista, if youre using Firefox you will see no issue. If youre using Internet Explorer or Chrome youll receive a warning that the file is unsafe (IE) or could be dangerous (Chrome). When you select Run from these errors youll get a User Access Control dialog which will Allow you to run the program.

For additional security, you can also check the MD5 Checksum of the .exe using an MD5 utility:

Launcher Repair Utility: AA37E912C2A1E8D87CEF727AF30FD54D
Installer: 6027C30B7AEA8A3A19C62D156143260A

This information will also be available on the SWTOR AHQ Page and the SWTOR section of EA Help.

Thanks!

Hey folks,

After further investigation, we unfortunately will be unable to address the issues with the Rakghoul Plague before the event expires on Tuesday. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

For those who were looking to run the Rakghoul event, it is scheduled to return on January 12th. Thanks everyone.

Hey all,

After some investigation, it looks like we are not going to be able to address this issue today. We'll keep everyone updated as we learn more, but I wanted to ensure that you knew we were continuing to work on it.
