I tried all the suggestions given from the FAQs, it just can't login to SWTOR. I tried portforwarding all the ports suggested, allowed launcher.exe into Windows Security, restarting my router and de...
Currently, I'm running on Windows Defender, Malwarebytes and CCleaner.
I couldn't find swtor.exe file to add to inbound rules for Windows Security.
I had added the whole SWTOR folder into Windows Defender and Malwarebytes exclusion.
Still couldn't work.
This is the ping where it cut off.
Did any of the other options work?
Running the repair utility or disabling bitraider?
What is your ISP and Region you are in?
I ran the same tracert and I'm able to get past the part that your stopping at which is just before it hits BW servers.
I tried running the repair utility, it just install a whole new launcher and bitraider folder (which I deleted afterwards).
My ISP is M1 (MobileOne), one of the telecomms in Singapore.
I'm assuming that there is no region lock by Bioware/EA.
I tried pinging cdn-patch.swtor.com, I could ping it with 0% loss of packets.
Currently, installing from the SWTOR disc I bought in 2011. Hope it works
*Sigh* Tried all methods, including installing from original disc and installing LauncherFix. Still couldn't work.
Managed to ping manifest.swtor.com with VPN, when I off it. Couldn't ping anymore. Not sure if my IP is blocked.
Your issue is a internet pathing issue talking to manifest.swtor.com
as you found a vpn allowed pings to manifest at which point things should work again, this issue will auto correct but can take up to a few days.
changing the IP address used on your wan gateway to a different one is also likely a quick solution, this will be down to certain IP classes affected
( Re-installing is not a solution on a 208 error ).
