This is happening to me, too. Deleted Bitraider folder. Relaunched the game, the launcher re-verified the installation, but I still log into the game with the message that I'm in Quick Play mode and the downloader shows 0.00% progress. Can't leave starter planet. Even deleted the Bitraider folder, deleted it from my Recycle Bin, restarted the computer, then relaunched the launcher. Still same thing.
