On some PCs, changing compatibility breaks other things or causes a degradation of sorts. I noticed weird choppiness on mine that wasn't here before. If you edit your launcher, what you're essentially doing is disabling BitRaider, which then makes you download the streaming portion of the game, which is the Asset 338 folder. That's why it's a 2 hour download. The best fix for me was to disable bitraider, take the download hit, and not worry about that mess anymore. That being said, instead, I just uninstalled and reinstalled via steam. Steam has no BitRaider, so no worries anymore. So if you have to make a fix, do it the steam way

So essentially, get rid of Bitraider. Check

Your link is the same so this is not correct However, can confirm that fixing the launcher file downloaded everything, and now everything works with no compatibility issues, and no flicker

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=9855921 I followed the instructions listed here, and when I relaunched, my game started downloading 26+ GB of items that were not in the original update. Pretty sure that's why I was stuck at 0. I changed compatibility back to normal, and am waiting to see if this works

Can we tack in that Tacticals that were purchased are still not counting? Only ones I purchased are ones that are in my bank or on my characters, but still show none but the ones from the normal renown crates

The compatibility change fixed it for me. I also did not lose my UI or presets as someone mentioned earlier, so that's good. The bigger issue is...why has this happened with every Onslaught release? Why do we need to change compatibility? Shouldn't it just "work"? This is the first time it happened to me. The last number of major releases had this issue hitting portions of players. Each time I looked at the Bug report and saw this same thing, then opened my game, and all was well. Not me this time. Well now it is me. So for a good few months, this has happened consistently. Why?

Adding my hat. Late November and still happening.

This. I've done the cooking and gathering missions on 7 different toons, and the story to completion on two. Not once since day one has the challenge mission been anything but Galactic Sampler

So they had 3 weeks to fix it...and multiple patches...and nothing. FFS

I haven't had any issues logging in...my issue is why with only a couple days left have you not released the last cooking mission so we can actually unlock the "I don’t have to Put up with This" Achievement? Only 4 of 5 have shown up so it's currently impossible

Can confirm today it is possible to get Horizon Perfection on Onderon. I followed an earlier post saying to exit the game completely, then log in and on the first toon you log in on, go do that race first. Got it right off, which is after doing it on 2 other toons earlier without it popping. Made it with about 2 seconds left as well so idk if that's part, but I know this method worked for me

I would never know if it work because I got tired of waiting, re-bought all the skills (Yes, some that paid before had to pay again) and leveled them all back. What I think instead is that we should all just get a blanket "We're sorry" gift of Cartel Coins. They admit they have no idea who did what, when it happened, or how to actually fix things, and their fix doesn't work for anyone that has already made themselves whole. Something needs to be done over the top

Yes, 100%

My real concern is if they "fixed it", for all of us that have had to re-buy the authorization and re-level, what kind of compensation are we getting? I have 6 toons and 4 were affected. that's 6 million credits I had to dump and even more on the levels. AS A SUBSCRIBER. Where's my "We're sorry, please accept these cartel coins for your troubles"? I understand fixing the bug, but may of us didn't have the time or the patience to wait for them to fix it, we continued on. So while someone else gets bumped back to 700 for free, we are out the credits and time. How will they make this right to your subscribers?

Deleting Bitraider did not work for me the first time or second. Crazy enough, it did the third time. First 2 it either gave me the patch error or no load after clicking play. Now I'm up and in.
