Mark your calendars (and adjust your alarm clocks)—Star Wars: The Old Republic is getting a fresh drop with Game Update 7.7.1b, arriving September 9, 2025. Expect some database heroics—and yes, that means an extra-long maintenance window. Let’s break down what’s happening, what’s new, and how to make the most of it.
Extended Maintenance—Brace Yourselves
When? The servers go offline at 5 AM CT / 10 AM UTC on September 9, with an estimated 8-hour downtime. That’s longer than usual, but for good reason: this patch includes Game Server Database upgrades designed to improve backend stability and performance—especially in high-stress scenarios like vendor interactions, loadouts, or Legacy cargo access. Hopefully fewer hiccups for all. And hey, 8-hour rest is a rare luxury, right?
Subscribers Get a Sweet New Login Reward
From September 9 to December 9, 2025, active subscribers can earn Subscriber Login Tokens. Log in at least four times each week, and you’ll collect these tokens to spend at a dedicated vendor stocking gameplay-focused goodies. It’s the kind of bonus that builds loyalty and feels genuinely rewarding—think less loot-box, more actual gameplay value.
Feast of Prosperity Returns—A Flavorful Fall Event
Dust off your culinary gear—Feast of Prosperity is making its annual return on October 7, 2025. Expect a feast of new rewards: cosmetics, gear, achievements, and more. Plus, there could be crossover flair—Cartel Market items inspired by Andor™ and event decorations that feel straight out of a Star Wars banquet hall. This event is great for fans of esports-style events—strategic, collectible, and visually engaging.
Bug Fixes & QoL Improvements—Fixing the Little Things
SWTOR’s devs also squashed a variety of bugs—some of them hilarious, others seriously helpful:
- Rishi: Sergeant Zaya now includes her head (turns out it’s important)
- French client: The awkward “Lana accepted the marriage proposal” pop-up? Gone now—even if you’re not romantically involved
- A bunch of UI polish: sorted windows, tooltip colors, stacked UI cleanup, Activity Window lockouts, combat-style font fixes—you name it, it’s tidier now
- Mission access: Missing story missions through the Eras tab? Now fully accessible, including Rise of the Hutt Cartel transition points
- Audio sync: Knights of the Fallen Empire Chapter 7 subtitles finally line up with the dialogue
- Galactic Season tracker: T7-01 Rugged Customization now shows up in your collections—and the objective trackers actually reflect your progress
- Activity Finder fixes: from Manaan placement to PvP list clarity, queue stability, scrollbars behaving correctly, and more
- Item visual tweaks: Nightfall Operative Glasses no longer hide hoods; Admiral’s Belt shows on all models; account-wide items can finally be sold; holo dancers now have textures
- Cinematics and companions: Spirit of Vengeance has the correct hairstyle; and the B3-S1 timer finally pauses during Arena/Warzone play.
What This Means (and Why You Should Care)
- Performance improvements: Database upgrades could make nightlife smoother—less lag when opening cargo, queueing, or transacting.
- Subscriber rewards without shady monetization: No impulsive spending, just earned perks that feel worthwhile.
- Feast of Prosperity, deeper than ever: With new items, it stays fresh and anticipated.
- Crisper, cleaner user experience: UI and mission fixes are small, but they add up—and smoother gameplay means higher satisfaction.
For fans of Star Wars lore, PvP strategists, and even those who log playtime like esports practice, it’s all about flow and immersion. And gamers accustomed to “gambling, betting, and casino gaming culture” know just how pivotal fairness and polish can feel. SWTOR’s updates are a reminder that the best gameplay isn’t flashy by chance—it’s finely tuned.
