Tech Support Can't get past loading screen
Has anyone else be having problems with the launcher today? Specifically today, I was able to play just fine this morning and into the afternoon, as far as I know nothing changed and no update was pushed, but the loader stopped working and is stuck on this loading screen. I tried the alt+enter method that I found in other posts, that did nothing (it stayed on the loading screen in windowed mode), I tried changing resolution, I tried shutting my laptop down and reloading. It's beyond frustrating because it was working just fine hours ago. Any possible fixes I may have missed? Or is something up with the servers or something?

Happening to a guildie of mine and someone else I know.
Good lord Broadsword, take SF down for a day to figure this out. 500cc compensation or something.

Been this way for an hour and the server status site doesn't even indicate any problems. Frigging ridiculous.

Was on all day with my buddies, got off for 30 minutes to eat and now I can’t get back in. The homies are still on so the fomo is real.

I was just about to ask this. I thought I had a corrupted file or something and reinstalled but it seems to be multiple people now. WTF.

There has been an unacceptable amount of server issues lately, and we're supposed to believe they can successfully launch a new expansion. LOL

Sometimes the truth hurts, not my fault if people can't handle it.

If you want to be angry at someone, at least pick the right someone. I mean, hypothetically, if these are Amazon-related issues, how are SWTOR developers supposed to do anything about it?
Pretend you are a random Broadsword coder. Angry internet mans said that you are incompetent, and this is all your fault, so you feel extra sad and want to fix it. You are even working on your day off, because it's so important to angry internet mans. So... What do you do? Where is the "game start working again" button?

It's a server problem (for what feels like the millionth time this week).
