Cragnoss Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I'm a returning subscriber. Got new computer and trying to install swtor. Downloaded installer, installed successfully but when I launch the launcher opens for about a second and then closes. No other instances or programs running in the background. Tried deleting patch folder and a few other fixes. Honestly pretty stumped and annoyed i just wasted 15 bucks on a game i can't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragnoss Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Those tips don't apply to me because the launcher itself is crashing. No chance of pressing play because the launcher never opens and downloads the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenBrooks Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Take the system to a clean boot per this link if using streaming then the bitraider mini support service will need to be left enabled. Crashing in the launcher is very very unusual , most issue stem from the antivirus in most cases Kapersky - disable scan secure/encrypted connections for example ESET - disable protocol filtering Edited December 5, 2016 by OwenBrooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobPL Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I had that problem since 5.0 started. I've tried multiple things - reinstalling game, reinstalling OS, clean boots, safe modes, and lots of other stuffs. Solution: Today, just 5 minutes ago, my friend and I figured out to run it in compatiblity mode of WINDOWS XP SP 2, and strangely, it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
