Hinjji Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Yesterday i tried to enter swtor, but i kept getting stuck at Initializing, then getting "This application has encountered an unspecified error. Please try this patch again" multiple times. So i uninstalled the program completely, then reinstalled it. However i keep getting the same error messages when i try to fully install it again. I've tried doing (WIN+R) -> services.msc ->BitLocker Drive Encryption Service ->set startup type to Automatic from Manual which helped. However, the downloader stopped going at 98.39%. So i exited out of it and tried to reopen, and i got "This application has encountered an unspecified error. Please try this patch again"again. Tried again this morning, and same error message. What do i need to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicplaya Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I just crashed in the middle of a Fp after playing for hours, and now i can't get past the launcher either. It gets stuck initializing, or patch error 208. then if i get 2 second screen, and click play, it just crashes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceryxp Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 If you're using the BitRaider streaming client (sounds like you are as that's the default option) there are a few pages you'll want to bookmark. This page on the EA Answer site is a good starting place for issues to do with the unhelpful messages that the client gives. Basically, you'll want to start with the easy stuff first, try a restart, check antivirus/firewall settings. Then move on to a forced repair of the client. There is a link on the below page that will take you to some instructions on how to do a repair, but I've included a second link below that includes pictures. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-Unspecified-Error/m-p/5881847#M21 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/GUIDE-Client-Repair-Scan/m-p/6454174#M39 - how to force a client repair Sometimes there is an issue with the BitRaider service. This link provides some steps you can try to give it a little kick. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/GUIDE-Launcher-Stuck-at-0-or-100-Complete/m-p/5282877#M28 The BitRaider streaming client is rubbish. I wish they'd give an option to go directly to the non-streaming client, which does not suffer many of the problems that the streaming client does. Since you uninstalled now would be a good time to switch to the non-streaming client. You can try some of the above steps to try to resolve your issue, but if you want to just go non-streaming then this link will tell you how to do that. It does involve editing some files so be sure to make backups. Note that switching from steaming to non-streaming involves a complete redownload of the game. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-How-to-Switch-to-Non-Streaming-Launcher/m-p/4867417#M27 Hopefully you're able to find a solution.
