FrozenBacon Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hi. I always wanted to play Star Wars Galaxies but I am kinda wary to putting down money for a game like this. I just recently saw the free 14 day trial so I downloaded it iimmediately. I am enjoying the game so far, and I might buy it but I am having one problem. Whenever I start up the game, it takes 15min+ for it to scan my files when its updating. Is this normal? Right now it has been on the file data_other_00.tre for a while and my HDD light is saying there is no activity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exar_reborn Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Could just be your comp. what are the specs on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenBacon Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Geforce 4mx 420 (yea, I know its crap... although it shouldnt affect scanning times) 7200rpm 80gig HDD 512mb DDR 333 ram I have an extra 256mb stick of ram laying around here somewhere... I took it out because I couldnt run my memory at 333 without it crashing with that stick in (although that one is also rated DDR333). EDIT: Ok, right now it has finally gotten around to downloading the files. I started around 1:30... now its 1:51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth MarcII Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hmmm. . .spec wise, your computer is fine. Never had that issue. What kind of connection are you running? Dialup? If it's broadband, are you going through a router, do you have a firewall enabled(Norton, McAfee)? Disable it if you do. If you have a router which has a firewall by default, disable it in the router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenBacon Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 I have broadband and its running directly to my PC. This guy said the reason my computer is going so slow is because a big update has recently been released. Oh and man... the people in this game are nice. Earlier today I asked this guy where I could get a speederbike but since he couldnt find the terminal, he went ahead and gave me one. He also was going to build me a house but for some reason he couldnt. And is it possible to be in more than 1 guild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth MarcII Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yeah, people are cool to new players. That's something I really did not expect. The update is 9.1 which goes live today, I think. As far as guilds, i couldn't tell you for sure. I'm a lone gunman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenBacon Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 Ok, I just found an answer to this problem and it has increased my load times dramatically (it did go faster after I installed the patch but now its much shorter now that I ran this). Ok, this guy told me to run trefix.exe from the swg folder. After it was done I restarted and ran swg. After the new files was downloaded my load time was like cut in half. As for the guilds I had to select myself and type /leaveg, or something like that. I dont really remember, though. But yea, its better having the guild leader do it because I had to go all the way back to Tatooine and tell them my reasons for leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
