Already seen that and tried to do it but I cant find "Bit-Raider mini support service" anywhere, stup loader is here and I can do as it says but I don't seem to have the other one. Also, AVG is a certain program or just any antivirus or...? And thanks on quick replying!

If you just sign into the Launcher without launching the game yet, does the launcher download anything or patch the game at all?
If it's stuck on a fairly low %, I'd recommend simply switching to the non-streaming version: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-How-to-Switch-to-Non-Streaming-Launcher/m-p/4867417
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years agoIt doesn't, I finished downloading the game completely yesterday and nothing since then. The "download" only appears once I click play button, as shown in the picture.

So should I switch to non-streaming version anyway? If you think that will help, I will, but I would just like to hear if you have any other things I could try before because last time I was downloading the game it took me almost 5 days and I understand that switching to Non-streaming would require a complete new download right? Thanks on your help in advance.

The only other file that may have an indication on what is occuring is in the bitraider folder is a file called swtor_swtor if that can be attached.
I gather you have ensured launcher.exe, swtor.exe and brwc.exe are listed in all the antivirus and firewall exception lists
Non streaming should definitely help in this case though, and is as you say almost a new download.
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years agoYeah I am pretty sure that nothing is blocking it. I found that folder and opened it with a notepad, what should I do now? If switching to non-streaming will help, then im up for it, even though it will require a complete re-download.

Can you attach the swtor_swtor file found in the bitraider folder ?
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years ago
It says the file is too large, should I look for something specific to copy here so you can check?
- proxos6668 years agoHero+
One thing to do when you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic delete any patch folders
back to the file in the bitraider folder, delete the swtor_swtor file and start the launcher and try the game again it should create a new log which wont be as large and should attach ok
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years agoOk, gonna do that. One more thing, I just noticed a folder that wasn't here last time I tried to attach the swtor_swtor one. Its called: BRWCARC_2018_2_3, its next to swtor_swtor one and its compressed. When I open it there is a text document of the same name and I can open it with notepad. Its similarly big to swtor_swtor document and it looks similar but there are some differences that I noticed just by scrolling a bit. What should I do with that? I am sure it was not here 1 hour ago, maybe it was in some other folder but I doubt it...

Delete the entire bitraider folder , it will recreate on the next game launch
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years ago
which folders should I delete?
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years agookay doing it rn, Thanks.
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years ago
Here, did what you said and I am trying attaching the swtor_swtor file now.

It looks to be some sort of loop occuring , and is likely firewall related , i gather you have tried turning off any firewall on the router/modem as a test
Given the amount of time you have spent on this it is likely better to switch so this issue with bitraider is removed.
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years agoYeah I tried it, I just turned firewall completely off now and nothing changes. Turned my antivirus completely off too. Still nothing.

Non-streaming directions are at this link
- Does not work, I even changed the text in the launcher.settings to disable bitraider, then deleted the bitraider folder, restarted coputer, restarted the game and STILL I am stuck at 0% WTF
