Hi!

 

I just moved, and my launcher/install doesn't like the new internet address apparently? I wanted to try the fix where you delete the Bitraider config files, but I wasn't sure which ones to delete. Would any more computer-savvy folks be willing to lead me to them?

 

Thanks!

Yes - NOTE this is a complete download again

 

right mouse click on game shortcut and select open file location

 

open the launcher.settings file in notepad and locate the below line and edit to the below

 

 

, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"BR\" }"

 

Change to:

 

, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\" }"

 

 

, "bitraider_disable": false

 

Change to:

 

, "bitraider_disable": true

 

SAVE the changes.

Delete the BitRaider, Movie and Asset folders then start the launcher.

 

 

or if you have the old version still on another computer , copy all the game folders over to this computer

edit - going BR to SSN is a complete re-download, going SSN to BR isn't

 

meaning - going from Bitraider to Regular is a full game download of the assets and movies

going from regular to Bitraider is not a full game download.

Just in case anyone else is looking for the Bitraider repair , it is listed here

 

If Bitraider is at 100% complete and no play button or is at 0% one of the first things to check is windows services

 

Ensure the Bitraider Mini-Support Service Stub Loader is started

it seems deleting the Assets folder was a mistake. I'm getting a new error code C5 claiming to be unable to locate the assets. It's not in my recycle bin because it was "too large" and had to be deleted permanently from the start

 

There is no Bitraider folder to delete.

Following the rest of these instructions the game simply closes after clicking Play or I get the C5 error.

I'm sorry for the situation you are in. I have no idea why he told you to do that. The assets automatically get replaced and as you discovered are needed to launch. If you have a system restore point from the last time windows ran any update you can try going back to that to undo the damage or you will need to re-download and then try the change again without deleting the assets folder. Use Owen's instructions that Vyerix put in this thread.

 

Good luck

Thanks The_Wulff

I reinstalled the game and was able to log in without a hitch.

So, yay.

This is the first time since official launch that I've had any problems nor have I ever reinstalled the game.

I didn't know that all my personalized settings would be erased and reset....

YEARS of personalized tweaking of UI, keybinding, graphics and audio settings... gone....
