STAR WARS: The Old Republic 7.9.1b Notes Cover Fixes Across Missions, Items, and Seasons

STAR WARS: The Old Republic Game Update 7.9.1b brings another focused round of bug fixes, with changes reaching missions, armor textures, seasonal reward tracks, dynamic encounters, and the Dantooine Crash Site. The Steam announcement details the full list.

Several of the most useful corrections affect Legacy Reborn. Rass Ordo’s Basilisk Droid abilities now include their intended visual and sound effects, deaths during the Hidden Fortress siege place players closer to where they fell, and T7-01 should no longer appear twice during the security-grid objective.

Makeb, Iokath, Coruscant, and Dantooine also receive targeted fixes. The update lets players access the next Rise of the Hutt Cartel mission from their starship terminal, restores Companion summoning after the Iokath Sentinel fight, and allows guild flagships to travel directly to the Dantooine Crash Site.

The changes follow the earlier 7.9.1a patch, which addressed hood visibility and Collection access. Version 7.9.1b turns its attention to a wider mix of mission, item, event, and reward-track issues.
