BitRaider

Does this really effect the download speed?  If so, can someone walk me through removing it?

  • Bit raider means you are using the streaming version of the client which downloads as you play.

    It can effect speed among other things which is why a lot of people stop using it. Here are the instructions for removing it.

    right mouse click on game shortcut and select open file location

    open the launcher.settings file in notepad and locate the below line and edit to the below

    , "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\" }"
    , "bitraider_disable": true

    SAVE the changes.
    Delete the BitRaider, Movie and Asset folders then start the launcher.

    A user Owenbrooks made this when the old customer service section was up.

    No it will not affect gameplay it's just part of the process of switching to Non-SSN and ensure the download and update works correctly.
