I'd say check your firewall if you have one, but I doubt that is the problem. After every publish you will need to reallow the game through the firewall. If you are getting to the screen you say you are, then the game already went through the login server. And in order to get pass the login server, the game got around any firewall you have in place. So, I'm not quite sure it would be the firewall.

Of course, this usually happens to me if my game crashes and I try to relaunch the game. Seems like the first time I launch it after a crash it never gets passed that screen you describe, the bar just goes back and forth. Exiting and relaunching it again usually fixes the problem. Other than that, I don't have a clue.

In all honesty, this probably isn't the best place to post this. I'd try the official SWG forums. There's a lot of experienced people on there.

prolly already did this but run full scan. also have u installed windows sp2? if so check ur firewall, sp2 enables the windows firewall by default and u may hafta reconfigure it. also the launcher and the "game" are considered 2 seperate programs by firewalls.

have you installed any new software since publish 10? have you added any hardware either? Also, try turning all of your video and sound settings down to their lowest settings. this can be done from launchpad. the devs might have tried to add a performance increase to the game, but bugged some people with specific hardware. if all else fails, try tech support. they know current bugs and issues with the game better than we do. they can also tell you if there is a problem with your hardware.

Still ain't working.... and this is the third day... and on tech support Forums apparently alot of people have this problem.... Yet devs don't do nothing... just suggest the same things over and over.... My patience with this game is wearing very very thin. :evil:
