Connecting to the SWG Reckoning server is a simple process, but requires a few steps to ensure that you’re able to enjoy the authentic Star Wars Galaxies experience. Follow these easy steps, and you’ll be up and running in no time, ready to immerse yourself in the pre-CU universe.

Step 1 – Create and Activate Your Account

Before you can dive into the game, you first need to create an account. Visit the registration page to create your account. This will give you access to both the website and the game server, and will be the foundation for your SWG Reckoning experience.

Once you’ve registered, you will receive an activation email. Be sure to check your inbox for a message from us, and don’t forget to check your spam folder just in case! In the email, you will find an activation link. Clicking on this link will activate your account and allow you to log in to both the website and the game server. After activation, you’re ready for the next step!

Step 2 – Acquire Sony’s Star Wars Galaxies Installation Media

In order to connect to SWG Reckoning, you’ll need a copy of the original Star Wars Galaxies client. We currently support three versions of the game: An Empire Divided, The Total Experience, and The Complete Online Adventures. These editions will work perfectly with our server.

You can find copies of the game available for purchase at most major online retailers, so be sure to check out options like Amazon or eBay if you don’t have a copy already. Once you have the game, you’ll be ready for the next step.

Step 3 – Install Star Wars Galaxies

If you already have Star Wars Galaxies installed, you can skip this step and move directly to Step 4. However, if you haven’t yet installed the game, don’t worry—this process is easy!

To install the game, simply run the installation setup file from your Star Wars Galaxies disc or digital download. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the installation wizard. During installation, it’s recommended that you install the game in the default directory. For most systems, this is the Program Files directory for 32-bit systems or Program Files (x86) for 64-bit systems.

Once installation is complete, there’s no need to launch the game just yet. You’re almost there! Proceed to Step 4.

Step 4 – Download and Install the Reckoning Game Client

To connect to our server, you will need to download and install the Reckoning Game Client. This is an essential tool for accessing SWG Reckoning, and it’s a simple process. But first, make sure you have .NET Framework 4.6 or higher installed on your computer. If you’re using a newer version of Windows, you likely already have this installed, but if not, it can be easily downloaded.

Once your system is ready, download the Reckoning_Setup.exe installer.

Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. The installation wizard will check your system for any missing Star Wars Galaxies files and automatically download them for you if necessary. After completing the installation, you will be given the option to launch the Reckoning Config. This allows you to tweak various game settings, such as display and audio options, to suit your preferences. You can always adjust these settings later through the Reckoning Launcher or start menu.

Step 5 – Start the Game

Now that you’ve completed all the installation steps, it’s time to jump into the action! To launch the game, simply run the Reckoning Launcher from your desktop or start menu. The launcher will automatically check for updates and download any necessary files to ensure you’re running the latest version of SWG Reckoning.

Once the launcher finishes updating, click the “PLAY” button, and the game will start loading. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your journey through the galaxy in Star Wars Galaxies! Whether you’re exploring Tatooine, battling in PvP, or joining exciting events, you’re now part of the thriving SWG Reckoning community.
