Re: Game crashes after character select

@rorikjr

So the repair you did was as per

Non-Streaming launcher - Log into the launcher but don't click Play. Check for small letters "ST" in the bottom left corner.
If this is NOT present, With the new launcher after login , select the username pulldown on the top right and select settings, then press repair.

Streaming launcher - If the letters "ST" is present, close the launcher, right mouse click on the game shortcut,
select open file location and delete the BitRaider folder. Then start the launcher
 
If the repair doesn't help go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor and delete the file called diskcachearena

    Its the non-streaming launcher.  deleted the diskcachearena but game still crashes halfway loading the character.

    Same for all. Just checked the windows logs (don't know why I didn't think of that before now). It says I have a bad block on my hard drive. Running chkdsk now

    Nope that wasn't the main problem. Microsoft is. they snuck in an update that takes secdrv.sys completely out of the system.  this is required for Swtor. Looking for a fix right now. But here is a link for anyone else that explains the problem. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3086255
