SWTOR patch 1.02a detailed


Star Wars: The Old Republic

Update:

Patch 1.0.2b is now live. Read full story.

Original Story:

BioWare has release the 1.0.2a patch for Star Wars: The Old Republic, following yesterday's release of the bigger 1.0.2 patch (full notes below).

The 1.0.2a patch fixes a bug that was found to be causing crashes for some issues when navigating the character selection screen.

These latest patches do not fix the '/getdown dance' bug which allows players to get their boogie on and avoid being damage by enemy attacks. A further patch (1.0.2b) is promised in the next 24 hours which will fix that particular issue.   

"We're currently testing this patch, and we hope to have it deploy sometime in the early hours of the morning tomorrow (CST)," wrote BioWare of the 1.0.2b patch, "but if we experience any issues with this patch, we may hold off its deployment until tomorrow night."
