SeKaNoBaka Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Problem is not in client itself but somewhere in new launcher and all stuff that game install or keep in system aside of main game directory - i copied game dir on portable drive from my PC where it not runs - and where it was installed, and this copy runs on 2nd PC - where it was just copied to HDD and started on. And deleting bitraider dir doesnt help to resolve on my main PC. So switching to non-streaming launcher just mitigate problem - broken things stay broken. And u need twice space on HDD to download and unpack with non-streaming launcher. And who can say for how long old launcher will work Edited June 24, 2020 by SeKaNoBaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karovd Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I spoke too soon. It sort of works for me to delete the bitraider folder - but I have to do it every time I want to play the game. So launching the game takes time since I have to wait for the whole verifying thing every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndriusAjax Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I just completely removed SWTOR, all bitraider folders, all appdata folders. Completely fresh install. Still doing the 0% thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grymmjow Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I have this now. Was fine now It's stuck in Quick Play mode. So many things broke this patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWookiee Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I was able to get past this by changing how the game launches... Forces an almost full download however... https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-How-to-Switch-to-Non-Streaming-Launcher/td-p/4867417 Can confirm this worked for me. Take about an hour and a half to patch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsharXeon Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Can confirm this worked for me also. I'm doing this rn, currently patching since I cannot play SWTOR at alll, when I press Play nothing comes up so I decided to reinstall without bitraider.

Rol_Khavos Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 What I've noticed is this: The first time you log into the game, no problems. If you log out and then try to log back in, you encounter the login bug with the download issue. If you completely power down your PC and restart, you can then get back into the game, but the issue will repeat if you then log out and try to log in. Did this twice and worked both times. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEuZZ Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 What I've noticed is this: The first time you log into the game, no problems. I had problems since first time I logged in.. So not true for all :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunkelzaan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I'm having this issue as well, all my existing characters are "Not Ready" but it will let you make another character. I reinstalled the game but same thing. Deleted Bitraider folder and same thing. I have turned off Bitraider now and the game is re-downloading. If that doesn't work I'll try restarting my PC, but that doesn't make sense to me as a fix. edit: i was able to play my characters after disabling bitraider and the game downloading again. it took a really long time to download though so just now testing.

SeKaNoBaka Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I am using 431.60 on PC with GTX 1060 - and have issue (and forced to reinstall with non-bitrader launcher), but no problem with bitrader install on PC with GTX 750 and 440.97. So running older driver with newer videocard not always helps (or u may need to find your own videocard\driver version combination wich will work) - so it just another partially workaround. They must repair launcher P.S. And what about ATI? Dont think all sh*te in this universe concentrated around Nvidia Edited June 25, 2020 by SeKaNoBaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrmEmber Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Ah these things usually miss me, but I suppose it's my turn to get the thing that stops you playing. I downloaded and installed the patch just fine. Then logged into a couple characters and played for a while. Closed the client. I came back a few hours later and all my characters are greyed out and I got the quick play mode message. I honestly cannot fathom how you can play fine after the patch and then not at all after restarting the client. How does that even happen? Oh I'm oldskool and still using the bitraider client if that helps the devs. Never had an issue with it before and no, I aint downloading the whole game again because BW borked a patch. This is on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twbug Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 FIXED -- error in launcher config file After experiencing the same issue (characters not available for play after latest update), I've been able to resolve the matter by fixing - of all things - a spelling error in the SWTOR launcher configuration file. In my case, it had to do with the BitRaider app apparently not handling the update properly due to, as it seems, a simple spelling error in the 'launcher.settings' file. This file is located in the main game directory ('\Program Files (x86)\Star Wars-The Old Republic' for me). Close the game, then open the launcher.settings file in Notepad. Look for the following line: , "bitraider_disable": false and change this to , "bitraider_disable": "false" So yes, just add 2 parentheses like in the other lines. After this change, the following happened for me: - After starting the launcher, the game started to update again, re-downloading some 320 items, including most of the 'Asset' folder (around 25 GB?). - It reported an error with 66 of the files, and prompted me to press 'Repair'. Which I did. - Lengthy repair procedure - I pressed 'Play' again, and was greeted by a server selection screen, followed by the character selection screen with all chars available for play. Tested & worked. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeKaNoBaka Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) PPL do not do this!!! U will just switch bitrader client to non-bitrader - all further behavior - repairs and 25Gb DLs are talking about it! And it seems any string in "bitraider_disable": instead of clean false accepded as true.... And "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"BR\" }" changing to "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\" }" automatically when "bitraider_disable": set as any letters instead of false - i just tried "aaaa" - and had same effect as with "false" FIXED -- error in launcher config file After experiencing the same issue (characters not available for play after latest update), I've been able to resolve the matter by fixing - of all things - a spelling error in the SWTOR launcher configuration file.

Aaryn Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Try to delete the bitraider folder inside the swtor install folder, or rename it. Lot of players written, that will help. cant test it by myself, i deactivated bitraider und downloading the whole game now Edited June 25, 2020 by Aaryn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
