(03/16/07) VERSION 2.50 FINAL It's been a while since I've updated this FAQ! I've decided to merge my Star Wars Galaxies FAQ into one massive one, with all the same information. It will make future updates easier, if I find them necessary. Please note that if you have just bought Star Wars Galaxies or have renewed your copy, you are using SOE's "New Game Enhancement" version. I cannot guarantee the information in this FAQ will still apply to that version.
This FAQ is primarily designed for players that play on older servers. Some organizations are now providing older version servers, and this FAQ has information for those players. This information applies best to the Combat Upgrade version of the game, but the FAQ works well with the very original, too.
I WILL NOT PROVIDE LINKS OR HELP ON JOINING AN OLD SERVER. Please do not e-mail asking for this information.
(10/10/05) VERSION 2.00 UPDATE! I've just finished updating the FAQ to my latest style. Fixed a few sections as well with content. Also, the Total Experience FAQ is finally updated so be sure to check that out!

1. Will my PC run SWG...? A. To determine if your PC is powerful enough to play SWG, simply use DIRECT X's diagnostic tools. To use them, press start, then run. In the window, type in "dxdiag". A new window will appear, use this window to determine what specs your computer has. Look for the following information and see if you atleast have that.
Now that you know your information, see if your computer fits these specs: Video Card memory - 32 mb Memory (RAM) - 256 mb System Speed - 900 mhz ( 0.9 ghz )
I recommend you have atleast the following: Video Card memory - 64 mb Memory (RAM) - 512 mb System Speed - 1700 mhz ( 1.7 ghz )
2. I meet the requirements, but I get "x" error! A. Most likely it's your video card. If you get anything along the lines of DirectX, try upgrading directx first. Most likely that will solve the problem. If that doesn't help, you'll have to go out and buy a new video card. See above on what video card I recommend you buy :)
3. Game Errors and solutions to them A. You'll have to e-mail on this one. There are SO many errors (and many are being fixed) that I would have to constantly update my guide with new errors and such. Instead, just e-mail me at bluemoogle gmail com

INTERFACE FAQ .__________________________________________.
1. What's the deal with the different color names? A. You'll encounter numerous colored names in the game. Here's a key for each of them.
___________________ ____________________ / | \ | COLOR | IT MEANS | |-------------------|--------------------| | | | | WHITE |NPC, not attackable | | YELLOW | NPC, attackable | | BLUE | PC, not attackable | | RED | N/PC aggresive* | | Pink | Group Leader | | Green | Group member | | Purple | PC Faction Ally | | Violet | NPC Faction Ally | | | | \___________________|____________________/
*If a PC (a player) is red, he is on the opposing faction. If it is a monster, then it's naturally aggresive and will attack you if you get near. If you duel someone, they also get a red name. Also, anything you attack will be given a red name, to allow you to quickly see the new enemy in a swarm of neutrals, for example.
2. What is that little dot next to the enemy's name? A. This is the difficulty of the enemy. When you are fighting the enemy alone, this color is determined by your combat skills. When you are in group, it is determined by all the group members skills. Thus, if you're in a group of people and you see an enemy with a white dot, don't try to fight it while your partners are healing! In reality its probably a yellow or even red/dark red!
___________________ ____________________ / | \ | COLOR | IT MEANS | |-------------------|--------------------| | | | | GREEN | very easy | | BLUE | easy | | WHITE | average | | YELLOW | Hard | | RED | Very Hard | | PURPLE | Impossible | | | | \___________________|____________________/
3. What is that little blue number next to an enemy's name? A. This is how far away you are from the monster. Every weapon has a maximum range. Look at your weapons stats to see what it is. Obviously if you are outside of the range, the blue number will turn into a little (out of range) sign, telling you to get closer.
4. How do I find my FPS/lag? A. Press ctrl and o at the same time. A window will pop up. Go to the misc tab. Check the "show network status" box. A small window will appear with your FPS and your ping (server lag).
5. How do I change the interface? A. Again, press ctrl and o at the same time. Go to the interface tab. At the bottom of the window, you can change your interface into several different ones.
6. Is there a way to have more hotkeys? A. Yes! Click and hold on the bottom of the hotkey bar. Drag downwards and you'll have another set. To use these, hold down shift when you press the hotkey button.
7. Sometimes it's so dark I can't even see my character! A. Easy fix! Simply press ctrl and L at the same time and your character
