Game doesn't start after patch 4.1a

[alex_sasa]

Same here.

Besides, there was no announcement for the 4.1a, no connection disabling.

Had to check my internet/PC/power outlet

Poor rollout planning, dear BW

[slukslaksla]

guess we lost another day of early acces then...

[Wanagi]

Same thing as everyone here. I open launcher and it initialized and verified everything but when I hit play the launcher closes and the game does not open. I do not get any error codes or anything. Just nothing.

 

I've deleted the Bit Raider folder and it redownloaded the content I assume fine but same thing - Hitting play just closes everything out.

[MCGreenlees]

I'm also having these issues. I've tried running as administrator, but still having no luck. Name an issue, I'm having it.

[inushinobi]

same thing here, I deleted the bit raider and reinstalled the whole game, nothing happened after hitting play.

[bjpbjp]

If it helps here's the content of the log. It shows that the game was launched successfully but nothing actually happens.

[Feanor_cz]

Same here after hitting launch nothing happens

[Chaosmode]

The Bitraider Client also closes out from Task Manager. Since Bitraider is necessary for the game to run if you have not disabled/deleted it, maybe this is an area to look at. Edited February 11, 2016 by Chaosmode

This program encountered an internal error and will exit.

Error code C5

failed to load game assets. Please contact support

 

Info after i hit play button.......

[alex_sasa]

P.S. All my chars are on Red Eclipse. Don't know if other servers have this issue. Edited February 11, 2016 by alex_sasa

[omegavx]

Attempted to start game via launcher after patch with no luck, and attempted to start game via swtor.exe. Nothing happens. Checked Task Manager, and nothing typically associated with SWTOR is there.

[Svenlana]

Same with me. Red Eclipse. Some of my friends are playing and i cannot

[Pookahead]

Game will not launch after the maintenance this morning.

 

The launcher ran an update, but when I press PLAY, the game closes and no processes relating to it are running.

 

I've tried:

- removing Bit Raider and re-running

- repairing game

- ALT+Enter (as I do see "ST" whenever restarting this)

- Updating drivers

 

Are some able to play and it's just a group of unlucky people who can't get in?

[Sparrio]

on the off chance I get to log in and it doesn't outright fail, the game crashes.

[alex_sasa]

Is there a way to open a support ticket outside the game client? The EA support site lacks this function. Does BW staff read this? Pls, let us know.

 

UPD. The know!

I finally got in about 2 minutes ago. I'm not sure why. This was my third time trying to delete the Bit Raider process and restarting the launcher and finally something happened. Luck? I don't know. I hope you all get in soon.

[Stabalicious]

Same, Hit play, game goes bye bye

[ZharaX]

Tried hitting "Play" and got to character selection screen once again, still got the 0.00% downloaded message in top of character selection screen. Then tried to select server which all were empty. Quit the game, ran launcher again, now launcher displays "This application has encountered an unspecified error. Please try this patch again."

[Retrogame]

Go back out to the bug report forum and follow Tait's instructions the streaming/bitraider bug sticky.

 

In a nutshell you delete a few files out of the Bitraider folder and then re-run the launcher.

 

For me once I did that it started the process of "reorganizing" and "verifying" the game. As I write this, it's currently re-downloading some files. This problem is likely related to so many people needing to patch and re-patch all at once. Was never a big fan of the Bitraider software. In all likelihood some of the important game files were corrupted for some people and therefore the patcher actually needs to download files other than "just" the 4.1a hotfixes. Will advise once it's finished if this actually got it going again.

 

[Sendayen]

Same here soon as press play....POOF its gone

[haileysrocket]

I get a error that says " this application has encountered an unspecified error. Please try this patch again."

Anyone else get this? Ive tried the above mentioned ways to log, such as bitraider file, fix patch and etc... but still gettin this error

So, this problem happened to me. It finally let me in, only to tell me that only the starting planets was ready, and the rest was streaming. That made no sense, so I exited. Deleted the bitraider folder, and let it repatch. Still no luck getting in.

 

Restarted my pc, fired up the launcher, and it started up the non-streaming version (no st in the corner).. and wouldn't let me in. Started the launcher again, ST version comes up... and the game lets me in to play.

 

An hour later, I exit game for a bit. Come back, and boom, same problem again. *sigh*
