Is there a chance that we may have a fix concerning other professions than jedi one day?


For instance the crate auto-pulling for smugglers? You'll say i'm rather boring keeping on repeating this question every week, but at least that would show that once in a while you can handle promises you make (well, TH made it, not you Tiggs). You actually showed you were capable of fixing the power up exploit, that means you remember (or one of the devs remember that there are other profs.


Any input form your side would be great, either ETA, or acknoledgement or something, you know, just so that we could know. I guess you have some sort of schedule, could we know what is going to happen and when? The only thing that we know (and we're not even sure) is JTL is going to be available on the 26th, and that's not really some fixing or patching schedule. For instance, would it be so hard for you to give us the "what's on deck" topic some time before it goes live? Or include the next one inside? something like :



What's on deck ?

This week :


  • fix#1

  • fix#2

  • fix#3


Next week :


  • fix#4

  • fix#5

  • fix#6

THE HOTFIX KILLED MY LAUNCHPAD!!!!


I double-clicked my SWG icon, and the pre-launchpad screen came up, and started downloading launchpad_delta.exe updates, a whole bunch of *.pngs, and things of that nature. When the slider was 99% done, it stopped on a png. I let it sit for about 4 minutes, and then it creashed with the "LaunchPad.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."


Now, every time I go to start the launchpad, I get that same error, but it doesn't try to re-download those files. So I can not even get to the launchpad.







I sit here for half an hour and it don't load more of the launchpad as 1/3 then it does nothing.....


Started it 7x so far.......


I want to log into BETA again....Now I even cannot log in in the whole game.


BAD VERY BAD!!!

Same here, restarted it like 20 times already and it doesn't look like it will be finished any time soon. Feels almost like Village grinding.... oh, wait a minute.. is this phase 3?

Well folks I am having the same problem here as well. Since last night I keep getting the same window, "Launchpad has performed an illegal error will shutdown" and (Send or Don't Send) boxes apear, I ahven't sent too many times. I have did the TRE Fix , that came up clean, I also did repair with the Galaxies Discs, nothing. You know we pay our hard earned money to play a game we can't even play. What gives? You fix things that are not messed up and make them worse. Come on people work with us!


Fix the damn launchpad so we can play. I was down a week ago, cause of computer problems and had to reformat, now i am out of game again cause of a stupid Launchpad problem. I know nowits not my computer, fix the damn thing and lets all move on!

SO FIX THE LAUNCHPAD shine dog you are wrong as usual....I logged in last night and this morning no problem now it has been running for 3hrs and is still downloading...


TIGGS sort it out do your job recall this patch we dont want it till it works...yet more downtime I hope you are ashamed of the way you treat the clients in this game nothing changes for the good around here ...the new system is great but why the stoopid launchpad we dont need??????? we all know about JTLS and seeing as only registered players can use the launchpad what is the point of the advertising?????,


WITHDRAW THE PATCH IMMEDIATELY you are in violation of YOUR terms and conditions if you dont...

Launchpad update:

One could argue thatthe updateactually IS working, it's just taking 3-minute breaks for every couple of downloaded files.

It's kinda likethe old 14kbps modem

Ok i vote we rename the Hotfix to Hotf$%k. I was able to get through after about 5 crashes. I have cable internet so my DL speed is pretty good, I really feel for those with dialup though, it's going to be a nightmare to get anything done today. On to the bigger issue;


WAHT THE HELL DO WE NEED NEW LOGIN ART FOR WHEN THE DAMN POI'S ARE STILL BROKEN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A WEEK WITH LITTLE ACKNOLEGDMENT AND NO FEEDBACK... FIX IT OR TELL US WHY YOU CAN'T

Go into properties on the launchpad.exe and disable "advanced text" this should allow proper startup.
