ERROR C5. Needing to repair everytime

As the title says, I have to repair EVERY time I try to launch the game. This is getting ridiculous and I need to fix this. ☹️ I don't use Bitraider client, and I have tried Fixlauncher and repairing...

Hello again!
I let my pc do this scan (I think...). It would only do this scan when I restart my pc. So I did this, and booting took a bit longer then normal. But when I was back on desktop I didnt see any test results. I dont really know how it was fixed. I just started Swtor like normal and let it repair, then after that I didnt had to repair again. Sorry, but I cant really help other people with this problem! ☹️

[MOD EDIT - scan mentioned is a chkdsk scheduled to run on next startup of the PC, this highly likely repaired a file system error that allowed the next game repair to finally finish properly]

Have you checked the harddrive?

Check Hard Drive For Errors And Corrupted Files

All files can become damaged. This is just the nature of hard drives.. Do this for all hard drives that has Windows and the game installed.

Go to "This PC" in Windows and right click the hard drive and click "properties"
Go to "Tools" and and press "Check"
Click "Scan Drive" and let it scan for errors.
If it finds errors let the program fix them
(If there are errors it could mean nothing, but it can also suggest that it might be time to format your computer and/or replace the hard drive)
Reboot your computer
Run the scan again
Keep repeating step 3-5 until no errors are found.

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I do not think this is the problem, as after I repair the launcher (which takes about 45 min - 1hour) I can play. My problem is that whenever I open the game again it gives me the error code again, so I have to repair the launcher again.

  @Amarantkando
  
  Can you post a launcher log (in the main game folder is a log folder with launcher logs) want to see if it is repairing the same things over and over again
  
  chkdsk is worthwhile just to be certain

    Hello Owen!
    Sorry for my late answer, but it seems like my problem is resolved. Didnt had to repair today so hopefully it's all good now. Thanks for your answer nonetheless. 🙂
