NathKnights Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hi dudes and dudettes, as the subject line suggests, after the recent update (I believe update 6.2 just hit) my Level-75 toons are frozen out and the only option is to start a new toon on starter planets. The trouble is after 6-7 hours now the download counter is still at 0.00%, which to me indicates there is a problem somewhere? Is anyone else getting this? Is there a work around? I'm almost thinking of doing a re-install and hoping I don't loose any of my UI customizations. ( I'm assuming the UI Config is stored off site on my account and not in local files) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaleijo Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Apart from changing from the streaming client to the non-streaming one https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-How-to-Switch-to-Non-Streaming-Launcher/td-p/4867417, changing the compatibility settings seems to help. Start swtor.exe and launcher.exe as admin w/ compatibility for XP SP3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathKnights Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Apart from changing from the streaming client to the non-streaming one https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-How-to-Switch-to-Non-Streaming-Launcher/td-p/4867417, changing the compatibility settings seems to help. Hi Khaleijo, Thanks for that . However, I actually found the following in another thread first ... then open the launcher.settings file in Notepad. Look for the following line: , "bitraider_disable": false and change this to , "bitraider_disable": "false" I also started the game as admin (just in case) and it kicked off a full download. Anyway several hours later the download completes and the game works ! Well until I discover the next bug! Thanks everyone and happy gaming!

EllieAnne Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Same here. All those programmers making money and WE have to make it work?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyhiker Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 IMHO, the game play QC manager, if there is one, should be fired! Stuff like this should NEVER make it to the end user! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTergon Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I just completely removed it, installed fresh, with the new launcher (which I believe is bit raider free) and it's working fine now. It did take a while, luckily I have the desktop, but thankfully it works now, and if I have to go mobile, I can bring the game with me...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinaLea Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Changing the bitraider " in note pad also worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the above mentioned fix, and the WHOLE game proceeded to download again. Now I'm stuck waiting while it does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
