OwenBrooks Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Trend Micro is usually pretty good so would be surprised if it is causing issues Doesnt hurt to ensure launcher.exe is in the exception list though If you right mouse click on the game shortcut and select properties , go to the compatability tab and down the bottom , tick , run as administrator then click on ok start the launcher and see if it can get past this now Have you rebooted the PC recently to clear stuff Edited March 9, 2016 by OwenBrooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwenBrooks Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Definately being a PITA Is this WIndows 10 ? it maybe a folder permission error but will get to this Press the Windows Key and type msconfig and press enter now a program will appear , on the initial screen tick on selective startup then untick load startup items then go to the services tab and on the bottom left is a tick box to hide all microsoft services (tick it) then click on disable all and click on ok Reboot the computer and try again follow above later and on that first screen tick normal boot and reboot to how you normally start the computer. this may seem complicated but it is pretty easy Edited March 9, 2016 by OwenBrooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwenBrooks Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Given this install was hosed Download http://www.swtor.com/download and simply run it over the top of that install first up if that doesnt help from there delete the entire swtor/bioware folder and then re-run the setup file but it will default to bitraider patching and there is 2 options , allow the bitraider patching to proceed and see if it works ok or stop the download and amend the launcher.settings file back to SSN patching again (your choice) Edited March 9, 2016 by OwenBrooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagren-BRN Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This is what I did to solve all my corrupted files and have clean smooth running game, be advised that this is a complete download of the entire game. ....try not to get too frustrated and give it sometime good luck right mouse click on game shortcut and select open file location open the launcher.settings file in notepad and locate the below line , "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"BR\" }" Change to: , "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\" }" and , "bitraider_disable": false Change to: , "bitraider_disable": true SAVE the changes. Delete the BitRaider, Movie and Asset folders then start the launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Nevets Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I have the game running sort of, but now when I launch it has to "recongnise" data..a process that takes oven an hour I am getting very tired of this and I want a dev to front up.. is there a way to fix this new error they caused? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenBrooks Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) I gather this is re-organising data this is only seen when using Bitraider (Streaming launcher), Non Streaming does not get this issue. Give this a try when the launcher is running Follow this to open task manager and set affinity set Launcher.exe and BRSptSvc.exe to only use the first two cores by Setting Affinity to CPU0 and CPU1 only See if this stops the long process I myself may not always see threads here in the General Forum so if get stuck post here and I should see it Edited March 12, 2016 by OwenBrooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Nevets Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 not sure if it did anything, it is done with the organizing part and has been installing for the last couple hours. this has gone beyond a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
