news5DB51BC-C3EC-4DAF-A9C5-BA362033ACE3@xxxxxx MMO games can take 12 hours to patch at times, depends on the game. SWG if
you downloaded the game, how much did you download? If you downloaded more
than 1 Gig then you might be ok, but you still have to patch the game.

When they said you need to open a port, they mean that you're probably using
a Router on your network at home and the router is blocking an access lane
or a "port" and the patcher can't download or send data correctly.

I'm not going to go into too much detail, but here's a link to the Sony
Support Site: http://tinyurl.com/2zmft8

This page has information on setting your router to open ports up for SWG
patcher.

Might help your problem. If not, respond here, include your computer make
and model number, what kind of Internet connection you have, Cable, DSL,
who's the carrier (Comcast, SBC, AT&T, etc), and any other error messages
you get when trying to run this game.

Note, if you just downloaded the SWG patch program, the time it takes to
download the entire game is around 12 hours or more.
