At the character selection screen, the box appears saying the game is downloading, but ive waited for over 30 min and it has not progressed even 1/10 of a percent... I am not starting a new character just to play the game on the starter planets...please fix this already Edited April 30, 2016 by TheBossOG

Run the launcher repair utility found here

 

Next restart the launcher and try again and see if that resolves the issues. I would also recommend removing bitraider as this seems to cause people issues sometimes and removing it can prevent this issue from happening in the future. To remove it, follow the steps below:

 

NOTE this is a complete download of the game 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\": \"SSN\" }"

, "bitraider_disable": true

 

SAVE the changes.

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