Failed to initialize web browser

I have decided to come back to this game after trying other MMO's and none of them have the same magic as SWTOR and STO did back in their time, I have downloaded the installer from the My Account tab...

    Also in your first post you mention the setup file with a bug ?

    If you create a game folder where you want the game installed , paste the repair utility at this link into that folder and extract the files 

    then use launcher.exe and run it as administrator , see if this has any change

    Great news

    To give you some background, libcef.dll is part of the chromium framework and if a different dll version is encountered the failed to initialise web browser error is what occurs.

    That dll file is as you found is used by a lot of programs and should be all contained in relevant program folder, sometimes one gets installed elsewhere and can cause issues.

    In your case maybe the swtor setup for some reason couldn't place these files in the swtor program folder correctly, luckily the repair utility is just a self extracting archive and simply places the launcher files in the folder.

    anyways sounds like your all good now so May The Force Be With You 🙂
