Incompatibility with Norton Internet Security 2005

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.starwarsgalaxies (More info?)

The latest (as of yesterday) version of SWG refuses to accept ALT-TAB
(switch to another Window) at a moment during startup that Norton Firewall
is trying to ask the user whether to grant the SWG program permission to
access the Internet.

I find the statement on the Sony site that users should give up the vital
protection provided by a firewall in order to play their game, to be totally
obnoxious, though I do appreciate the list of IP addresses that should be
permitted.

It may be with the 2005 version only. I had this problem immediately after I
upgraded. I have reported it to both Symantec (Norton ...) and Sony.

Change your startup options for SWG to using "windows mode". Now, you
don't need to alt-tab, and you can click what you need.

I just upgraded to norton 2005 this weekend...I experienced no problems, in
fact it automatically tabbed out to security window, set permission to
'always' and no trouble since.

Go into game options and set SWG to run in window mode, then give it
permanent permission, then switch SWG back to Full Screen Mode
