CornaMas Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The fix worked for me as well. The fist time I launched I got no severs showing but I restarted my computer and now it’s working fine. Thanks for the simple explanation for those of us computer knowledge challenged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckor Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 This didn’t work for me. I’m now having an issue where it’s showing my launcher running but nothing is there. Run the patcher and extract all files to your game directory. In your game directory delete the bitraider folder. Launch the game, let the launcher update everything to the latest version. If you can access the game, stop. If not then replace only the launcher DLL file and try again. Basically you want the latest version of everything except SWTORLaunch.dll. You want Cas' version of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don’t see a SWTORLaunch.dll in the link you guys had me download to replace. I see the old one but not a different one in the files of the other.

HurrsonSmif Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I confirm, this may work. Please note, though, that I created a patcher for Alder Lake only, so using it with old SWTORLaunch.dll and CPU like Ryzen will have no effect (but no harmful anyway, unlike with current DLL). Download the file LauncherRepairUtilityU2021.0.18.exe and run it in current place, then point at the same folder like %userprofile%\Downloads for unpacking. It creates some folders which you may delete immediately. In your SWTOR folder, delete the last SWTORLaunch.dll or rename it to *.bak and then copy the SWTORLaunch.dll from ...\Downloads to SWTOR folder (you may need the Admin access for both operations). Then delete the rest in Downloads. Now you should be able to start the current launcher because it is compatible with previous DLL. I used this with my patcher but it's not required on non-Alder Lake. Important! Don't try to repair your installation, it will download the last non-working DLL. All above was tested on standard website launcher; I wasn't able to test the Steam launcher. I can’t seem to find a SWTORLaunch.dll from that file I extracted to downloads?

Estelindis Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Copying just that dll has worked for me too! Hurrah!

HurrsonSmif Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I just edited a link for you into my previous post. Great! So I just delete the current Dll in the files and replace it with this one correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Thank you so much. Works like a dream. You’ve done what the game Devs could have done on day 1. You didn’t have to, so for that I thank you! Just a word of note, when I installed the repair tool it automatically opened the launcher and updated it, so be quick to end the Launcher task and then you’ll be able to copy the file manually.

Estelindis Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Great! So I just delete the current Dll in the files and replace it with this one correct? Yeah, I pasted the dll into the game directory and it overwrote the old one. Same difference. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need the entire repair tool, just the one DLL. I let the launcher go, update, relaunch and crash, then copied the DLL over the existing one. And all I did was a few rounds of copy some files, nope, reset, copy different files, nope, reset, copy just that one file, eureka! Cas did the real work and deserves the credit. Understand that this is a temporary fix. When they push 7.0 on Tuesday the launcher will likely update and break again. Overwriting the DLL might work again, or might work but not patch the game, or who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way I could stop that was by end tasking the launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astarobh Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Replacing DLL file worked for me as well. Many thanks to you guys, and let's hope that the dev team comes up with a solution as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandoCalrissiian Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Downloading and replacing the DLL worked for me as well. I simply renamed the old .dll to OLD_ and then put the new one in and it launched on the first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckor Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Server list is empty. I did a complete reinstall of the game, tried rebooting, nothing works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddifrisco Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Count me in with the people who have had problems with the server list not populating. I used the repair tool, and I was able to start the launcher (finally), but after updating, the server list is blank. I’ve tried everything: disabled firewall, reinstalled, tried Steam launcher, everything that has worked for people in the past. No luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
