[LPE] Launchpad Downtime 1/23/10

[inyri]

The issues with the LPE host have been corrected but may take some time to be fully storted out. We expect all problems to be resolved by 8pm EST, 1/24/10.

LaunchpadEnhanced is currently experiencing some problems as of the morning of 1/23/10. This will cause the launcher to not only fail to launch the game, but also to possibly corrupt or delete important game files.

We encourage all players who see this before loading up the launcher to try and run the game directly from the swgemu.exe file (default location: C:\SWGEmu). If the launchpad has inadvertently deleted this file then you will need to wait for the LPE issues to be corrected, at which time it will be able to redownload that file.

If you find yourself with missing or corrupted files you can attempt a manual installation to install or correct the problems. Additional needed files can be found here, including the SWGEmu executable file. Please understand, however, that our support staff can provide very limited support for a manual install or fix, so you do so at your own risk.

Sit tight and we'll try and get these issues corrected as soon as possible!

What would happen if you started Launchpad Enhanced, but don't hit the PLAY button? Is it still bad?

LPE issues have been reported to be fixed. If you still have problems with it please report them immediately.

I can't connect to the server. I'll launch into the character selection screen and it never gets past the blue loading screen. No bar come up for loading either.

I don't know if this is cause of LPE or not.

I did a full scan to see if it would fix it and nothing changed.

I run into the same problem, The Character screen loads up and I go to enter galaxy and it just stays on that screen loading indefinatley.

This has nothing to do with LPE, it has to do with the server being full.

Not sure if this needed a new thread, but over the past few days, maybe even a week? ...the LPE takes forever to open and load, like sometimes 5-10 minutes. I click the shortcut and wait, nothing happens for a minute or two, then the thing comes up and says downloading interface or whatever, that takes a few minutes, then the launchpad finally shows on the screen and sticks at "down loading" for another few minutes.

It can't be my PC because I have the game installed on 3 PC's, each with different OS's (7 x64, Vista x64, XP x32). It does the same on all of them.

I'm currently going on 10 minutes this time...anyone else?
