Cant login, error 208

Same here was playing stopped for a half hour and now cant log in. already patched so what the hell.

Stuck on the same issue...

I thought maybe uninstalling would help but now i can't even reinstall the game because of the error.

This is a problem on the server side so do not uninstall the game. Best thing is to leave the game alone and just wait for the issue with the servers to be resolved.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, we are still investigating and will provide an update as soon as possible.

Cheers,

Issue persists.

Thanks to the fast response and hard work of EA's team, I am no longer getting error 208. Now I am able to log in, the game initializes, the play button buzzes, I press it, and...

The client crashes.

I try it again. Same result. I try it yet again. Same result over and over and over again.

A+ good job would complain again.

Fixed the launcher problem, which then led to a login fix.

Apparently, I was still running off the hardware install -- i.e. I was still running off the launcher based off the CD/DVD install. Followed the instructions on this reddit, reinstalling the launcher, and replacing it with the streaming launcher. It allowed me to log in, and download this morning's patch. Well, start downloading this morning's patch.

Dunno if this will help everyone, but it helped me.

Could it be an issue of legacy-based launcher versus the streaming launcher? Just a thought.

Have solution:
Closing launcher
Deleting Bitraider folder. (from Docs in your PC)
Deleting Bitraider folder from Recycle Bin.
Open launcer, update, login.
Now in game.

Tnx to  Marasai from swtor forum.
