Has anyone managed to get logmein to work with swtor?
All I get is a black screen. I was unsure if logmein worked with directx.
Edit: got it to work, had to be windowed mode.

Figured this would be a good place to ask this:
Anybody know why the iPhone app for logmein just jumped from 29.99 to 99.99??!!
So that you use the free one from Teamviewer I should think!
Hmm, just realized they now have a free app and a paid app. Looks like the free app will be what I'm looking for. Now to figure out what goodies I'd miss out on with the paid version.
I can get it to work with TeamViewer. Also free. Mine is setup in Windowed mode That may make a difference. Also in the Teamviewer settings change the Quality to the highest possible. It still really sucks but you can do crew skills while you are away from home.
plus its free!
That may be the best reason and I forgot to mention it
I too use teamviewer. Found that it is easiest to set you game up with a lower resolution, lowest graphics settings, and windowed mode. Park yourself in the corner of a cantina facing a wall. Do all this BEFORE you leave your workstation. This way you can just run the remote app log in and crew skill away.
Yeah mine is working with LogMeIn. Didn't think there was a problem actually. I have it setup in Windowed (Fullscreen) mode with two monitors. Just connect from work to the computer and viola, it's right there. Laggy as heck if you move the camera though. I don't know what I could offer to help you. Both of these computers are pretty beastly and with Win7 Pro.
Yah i got it working in windowed mode. The UI flickers alot i figure it has something to do with the resolution differences. but I can crew skill.
Send out mako for 900c she comes back with 2000c. Ahh its a good day. I am hoping to have 100k tonight.
Windowed mode works for me
For the purposes of beating queues (and not playing at work or whatever) I believe it doesnt matter if you get black screen, all you need is to hit the play button.
I have had success with an autohotkey script that clicks where the "select character" button is and buffs myself every 30 seconds. Im sure one could easily have it log you in and launch the game too, then you could just schedule it to run at the appropriate time of day.
nah I don't need scripts to keep me logged in to beat queues. I actually just want to crew skill.
I found the best solution is to install at work. Totally beats all this logmein nonsense.
Splashtop works good http://www.splashtop.com/
Wait....you're telling me that I can play this game remotely with logmein. O.o
Yes, but the refresh rate is slow low you're stuck with doing crew missions or browsing the GTN.
I assume that none of this type of stuff can be done on military computers, seeings that they block everything. Anyone out there that work with the military that's able to get some crafting done.
any ideas would be appreciated. Also, no cell phone allowed where I work.
Thats honestly up to your administrator. if www.logmein.com is blocked. then you're out of luck.
You may be in luck as you only need logmein to be installed on the computer you want to control, in your case it will be your home computer which you on. Logmein uses a webapp to controll your computer. The issue would be that you can share and download files from your computer and any administrator who wants to keep the network protected from viruses wouldn't allow it.
HOWEVER
If you have a smart phone. Team-viewer is a free application that you can use to control your computer from your phone and people have had a lot of success with this.
Yes, just make sure you are in windowed and it will work.
thank you! got it to work!
Would you mind spelling out what needs to be done? How do you run TOR in windowed mode for instance?
if you have log me in on your home computer and you havn't set up SWTOR to be in windowed mode you'll have to manually edit the .ini file.
Go to where you've installed the game. Its usually under Program files > Electronic Arts > Bioware > SWTOR.
Then in the search bar type .ini
It will bring up a file called. client_defaults.ini (make a copy of this file and place it somewhere else (like the desktop).
Now you want to open this file using notepad. (if it doesn't default to this, it will bring up a screen asking if you want to use the internet to find the right program, or select it yourself. select the one that allows you to select the program yourself. and scroll down until you see notepad and select it.) Ok now open the file and under where it says 'FullScreen=true' change it to 'FullScreen=false'
Now you should be able to log in and it will be in windowed mode and will not display a black screen.
If you are home and want to set it up as windowed mode
Go to the options menu (esc button a couple of times will do it)
Then to preferences
On the side click on the option labeled 'graphics' - at the top there is the ability to change the ratio. There is also a place to make it windowed.
If you need more help from here let me know. otherwise this part is self explanatory.
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Many thanks and may your crafting always be exceptional/mastercraft.
Thanks for the info Infula! I tried to change it to 'FullScreen=false' but its still going full screen. I feel like there's something overriding this somehow... Anyone know of an additional workaround?
Are you guys being auto-logged out and just reentering the game through TeamViewer whenever you want to run a companion mission?
Or is there a way to not get auto-logged? I always get DC'd if I'm AFK too long.
