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]

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.

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. 🙂

  What ended up solving your issue? We are supposed to accept the post actually containing the solution so others looking for help with a similar issue can get help too 🙂 "I found the solution, now it works" doesn't really help others! Am kinda wondering if my harddrive scan fixed it or if Owen's launcher log idea had something informative in it?
