Jump to Lightspeed Expansion Publish Part 2

Jump to Lightspeed Part 2 This is the second part of Publish 11: Jump to Lightspeed. Today's publish includes the last files need to enable Jump to Lightspeed.


To Log in to Jump to Lightspeed



  • Patch the ground game as normal

  • Register your JTL key on the registration page

  • Please exit and restart the launchpad after JTL registration.

This will complete the patch process for JTL

To Activate your Pre-Order Flash Speeder:

- You must enter both your Pre-Order key and your retail key to claim your reward (2 keys total)
- If you have not entered your beta key, then you can enter your Pre-Order key in either of these locations:

Location 1
Location 2

Then on the left hand side of the Launchpad, just underneath the "chat" button, you will see a "Register Expansion" button. Click that button to start the registration process. Enter your JtL retail key as prompted and when you are completed, your account will be JtL Enabled and your Flash Speeder deed will be in your inventory.

To Claim your Sorosuub 3000 Veteran reward: To claim your Party Barge, your account must be "JtL Enabled". Once your account is flagged for JtL, simply log into the game and a dialogue box will open up and prompt you through claiming your reward. (To claim the SoroSuub yacht requires that you have had 180 days of uninterrupted account membership.)

Shared Assets: Please be aware that there are many "shared images" in the JtL Expansion such as ship components and other items which have a "default appearance". If you do not purchase and enable JtL, you will only see the "Default Appearance" of these items and not the item itself. Players who have JtL and players who do not have JtL may see different appearances of some in-game items in this case.

Graphics Options There are new graphics options with JtL that are automatically enabled for all players. One thing players can do to improve their game performance is to check their graphics settings. Press CTRL-O in game and open up your options window. Click the "Graphics" button and turn features on or off to suit your needs.

Please note that we are pushing a tremendous amount of new code out to you. There will likely be some issues with the ground game that we will need to fix. If you find any issues, please post them in our Ground Regressions Thread .

We will also post a Known Issues list so you know we are aware of them. Click here to find out more about Ground Regressions.







How large is this second part patch?

Tiggs - thanks for the new forum! You promised better communication and here we have it! This is a great way for the Devs to get feedback on the patches that go in and by keeping them all in one place it makes it much easier for the player base to find info concerning them!

GRUMBLE!!

Lies... sorry, have to vent here.

Lemme start by saying that I loved beta and will still play this game for at least another month...

That being said, SHAME on you devs for telling us it was live on the 27th, yet here we are on the 26th and it's live....

Shame on you.

Doesn't JTL come with a CD (or CD's)? Non of the posts made by the devs state that you have to actually install JTL before registering.


Edit: Just read Tigg's answer to my question in another of her posts.


So the right order is:


Install the JTL CD

Launch SWG

Let it patch (if needed)

register the JTL CD key

Exit the launchpad

Open launchpad again to get the JTL patches

When patched up: Press play !

I'm sure it was implied that you install it first.

I woke up today and called my local Software Etc. (Gamestop) to see if they received the game yet, or would it be tomorrow. Fortunately they got it in today. I pre-ordered the game almost 2 months ago from them because their site stated that you get the Flash Speeder and guaranteed Beta access 10/8 - 10/22 or so. When I went back to check within that stated timeframe to figure out if I was really in Beta or not, I found that all that extra Pre-order incentive stuff was pulled from the site. Now I am worried that I will not get the speeder and I'm over the Beta part heh. I am hoping that when I get off work to go pick up the game that there will be a Pre-order key along with the retail cd-key.

Tiggs,


Ordered 7 copies and entered the pre-release keys two days ago. My information states:


Subscription NameStar Wars Galaxies Subscription

Period1 month

Price$14.99

Account StatusActive

Enabled FeaturesStar Wars Galaxies

Orig. Purchase DateSeptember 2, 2003

Account Open UntilNovember 3, 2004

Next Billing DateNovember 3, 2004

Next Subscription PlanStar Wars Galaxies Subscription , 1 month


on my account, and the other 6 accounts are similarly the same.


- Should there be something in the "Enabled Features" section?


- Should I reenter the keys again from the Gamestop pre-release discs?


Help appreciated.

Do you have to actually install JTL from the cd's? Or just register the cd key.

Tiggs.... Is this all we get on the MAJOR LAG ISSUE happening right now? I'm afraid of you guys telling us that we need to turn our graphics down, that have been running FINE for months, because of all this lag.


PLEASE SAY IT AINT SO!


BTW,


I have a P4 3.4, 2 GIGS of system RAM, and an ATI PCI Express X800 with 256 megs video RAM. I should NOT have to turn any graphics setting down. Both on the video card and the ingame settings.
