Are SWTOR servers down?

The SWTOR servers are up and running, but you might face some latency issues since the servers were down just a little while ago for deploying game update 7.5c., a sub-patch of the latest major update 7.5., Desperate Defiance.

This server maintenance was pre-planned, and the estimated downtime was two hours. The servers went down at 7 am CT / 12 pm UTC. The servers were down for about an hour and are up earlier than what was mentioned.

SWTOR servers are occasionally taken down, either due to maintenance or outages. Other than that, you might sometimes get disconnected due to latency issues on specific servers.

• The official SWTOR discord also posts regular news about the server status. You can also check if other people on your server are facing similar issues.

We will update this article if the servers go down anytime in the future.

However, if no server outages are reported and you are still facing issues while logging into the game, you might want to check out your connectivity. You can do so by:

• Restarting Star Wars The Old Republic
• Flushing DNS from the command prompt
• Restarting your router
