10 years agoerrorcode 208
so yeah, trying to open up SWTOR, got this error code. tried lowering my firewall and still got the code. http://manifest.swtor.com/patch/patcher2014.patchmanifest did not work either, and https:/...
I used the basics of the tutorial and got it working without the whole workaround. It was indeed a leftover from the previous fix that was applied, and a quick download of the launcher and booting it was enough to set it streight. ^^ thanks for the help.
Could you elaborate a little? What did and didn't you do? Because I downloaded (and ran) the launcher repair twice now and it didn't fix a thing.
Im also having the same problem, in the launcher is say's : Unable to retrieve patch data (208)
Error 208 if not a Antivirus cause is usually an inability to talk to manifest or the CDN
As the OP found clicking on http://manifest.swtor.com/patch/patcher2014.patchmanifest in a web browser should prompt to download a small file but it failed.
The failure in the web browser is also why the launcher fails
These sorts of cases if net caused come good on their own
I'm having the same problem since yesterday. I followed all the suggestions in this thread but nothing worked. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=636314
I'm super sad this is happening now, because I had planned to spend these next days leveling my final characters before 12x disappears! Very frustrating that this has been an issue for ages and nobody found a proper solution. I guess I'll just have to wait it out.
