I found when I downloaded through Steam it installed Direct X9 and .NET3 which fixed my issue which you may have because when I downloaded direct, nothing happened when I clicked play but when I downloaded through Steam; it installed the aforementioned programs and fixed for me.

Goto: Program Files (x86)>Electronic Arts>Bioware>SWTOR and cut the SWTOR folder, then paste it into Program Files(x86). Locate "swtorlaunch.dll", R-click, and open with launcher.exe.

I had to re-download and install the game from this site to fix the "Play Button not working" issue

I still can't log in. Game gets stuck on the Title Screen. Canceling my sub until the devs fix this.

I had the same issue today.

 

If you're looking in Bioware you could make our lives much easier if you'd have the launcher tell us what's wrong rather than just silently failing to launch the game.  It's crystal clear that the Launcher is aware of the lack of correct DirectX 9 support since it's not even attempting to start the game.

 

When this error condition happens, just pop up a messagebox saying "DirectX 9 is not properly installed. Please download from Microsoft's web site and install it."  It's a one line fix for the love of the Force.

MessageBox(nullptr, "DirectX 9 is not properly installed.\nPlease download from Microsoft's web site and install it.", "SWTOR", MB_OK);

You'd save us all so much trouble if you'd do this.

I'm not getting any error message It just won't play when I hit the play button on the launcher.
