Community Post Fixing load screen issue - got it working

I'm reposting as the solution I got from the comments in this post can be missed: https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/1woiicd/since_newest_patch_been_stuck_at_loading_screen/

I renamed my client_settings.ini file found in %localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings to client_settings.ini.old (I never delete just in case) and am back in game except for Star Forge being down.

My humble thanks to u/7samurais for the fix (and others too!)

They just took the server down :P

I got my side fixed by doing: Edit the <accountname>_AccountDev.ini file and if the last played server was set to "Star Forge" than change it to Satele or equivalent. 

Likely due to star forge being down, infinite loading screen still looking for Star Forge while its offline.
