I think I may be the only person in SWG with this particular bug. When I click the "Sell at Item" button on a vendor or on the bazaar terminal, there is a 10% chance that I will get disconnected. This is the ONLY time I ever get disconnected from SWG. It is definitelty linked to the "Sell an Item" button. Both my toons are affected by this too.


None of the people in my guild are afflicted by this, just me. Have any of you had this happen or even heard of this?

Just a theory, but does this usually happen after you've been standing in front of your vendor for awhile?


In other words, do you ever run right up to the vendor, then quickly select to sell an item, and have the game disconnect you?


I guess I'm wondering if you're actually getting disconnecting for the game thinking you're away from the keyboard, because you're not moving. I would recommend going into CTRL+O and selecting the AFK tab on the left, and make sure the "Mark as AFK" setting isn't at 10 minutes. In fact, just uncheck the "Automatically mark as AFK" option completely.


Again, just a hunch, but sometimes if you're standing around for too long and not doing anything, you'll end up getting disconnected (in other words, you see the character screen).


The reason I suspect auto-AFK is the culprit is you say you get disconnected, but not necessarily crash to desktop. I'd imagine if it was a serious issue, it'd crash to desktop, not just disconnect you.


Try disabling the auto-AFK and see if the problem surfaces again. Probably just a coincidence that you've been hitting the "Sell an item" button and get disconnected at the same time.

Yup. I go up to the bazaar or a vendor with items to sell and get disconnected right after hitting "sell an item". It is not from standing still for 10 minutes.


I always run an "anti-idle" macro too. I never get logged off for inactivety. My macro allows me to stay connected even when my toon is stationairy for 30 minutes or more.


I don't really know what to do at this point. The problem seems to be getting worse. I get disconnected almost 25% of the time now after clicking the "Sell an Item" button. Since I have three vendors and I use the bazaar... i can guarantee that I will get disconnected at least once when I do a restock.


It seems like I am the only person with this problem. I will continue to bug it for all the good it will do.

Oh... and I do simply get disconnected. I do not crash to the desktop. I just get "Connection to SWG lost!" on my screen.After the game rolls back to the select a toon screen I can reconnect again without any problems.

This happens to an associate of mine, as well.
He has roadrunner cable internet.
Of course, he'll get disconnected in the middle of a fight just as easily.
He's been dealing with it for 2 years now.
He has, however, recently moved and claims it doesn't happen to him at his new house (with DSL), but it's too early to tell for sure because he's only lived there for a few days.
On the other hand, a full day without multiple disconnects is phenomenal for him.
