Is there any chance you may upload the swtor directory (without assets of course)? In my utter desperation I deleted the game folder...

I actually went for a fresh install, so I am left with only the launcher.exe which doesn't do anything but spit out the message as well, except mine is run in a Mac virtual drive. Really hope this is fixed soon...

I also run it on a Wine Virtual Drive (PlayOnMac), the issue occured as soon as the launcher updated, then it disappeared. I went for a fresh install but still nothing... Really hope devs will intervene given the fact that even Windows users are having trouble..
