Let’s get started!
Why Is Swtor Stuck On Loading Screen?
Swtor stuck on loading error occurs because the game file crashes and unable to process the request further.
The common reasons are

- Game file crashes due to performance load
- Problem with corrupted file Or Bug inside the Game file
- Need to update the graphic driver on your system
- Blocked by Firewall or Antivirus setting on your screen
Let’s see the fix step by step.
How To Fix Swtor Stuck On Loading Screen?
When the Swotr gets stuck on Loading first, you need to check your Internet connectivity.
It would be best to have a stable Internet connection to load the game.
Before launching the game, reboot your wifi router to reset your connection and resolve any internet-related problems.
If you are getting the error for the first time, the first move is to reload your game again.
Reloading your game resolves the loading Bug and helps you to launch the game properly.
But if you are getting the error repeatedly, try the following fix.
1. Use The Alt+Tab Technique
This technique seems weird, but it works for many users. Even it saved my game many times. So you can also try the Alt+Tab techniques
- You need to log in to your game first.
- Then Change the game to full screen and Hit play
- Right after Hit Play, press Alt +Tab from your keyboard before it starts loading.
- If you press Alt + Tab, you can select the following application on your screen.
- Select any one and wait for 5 min
- Then Again, enter Alt+Tab to back to your screen.
Now you don’t see the screen stuck on loading. While Entering Alt+Tab, you are coming out of your screen and giving it time to process in the background.
The secret process behind Alt+Tab
Imagine you are copying the file, and you click on the Pause button.
The pause command stops the Copying process.
But when you resume the button, you can see the file is copied faster than usual.
The scenario takes place when you come out of the screen using Alt+Tab.
2. Force Screen Refresh
Forcing the screen to refresh will help you process the request first and remove any unwanted errors.
Then go to the task manager and End the task.
Or press the Alt+Ctr+Del key to terminate the application and reboot your system.
Relaunch your game.
Ensure you have only one Game application opened on your screen. It will boost performance and help you to load your game without any other errors.
3. Deactivate Any Antivirus Program On Your Pc
It is expected that any antivirus or firewall settings might block the application from launching.
Disable the Antivirus and try loading your game.
If it loaded without error, disable the Protection temporarily while playing your game.
4. Running The Game In Admin Mode
Another reason is you may need to give the proper permission to the game.
To enable the Admin Mode, follow the step below
- Right-click on the software game on the Desktop
- Tap on Properties
- Click on the Compatibility Section from the properties dialogue box
- Check the Run this program as an administrator box

Now you have enabled the admin mode. Now launch your game, and You will see the error is gone.

- Tab on Library
- Find and locate Star wars: The Old Republic. Right -click On it.
- Choose properties and Tap on Load file
- Finally, the Tab on Verify Integrity of Game Files
It takes some time to verify the file.

- Choose Target Section from the Properties tab
