Worked for me as well.
My symptoms:
Game working fine before update on 24Jan2017. After update, game would not launch. started too, then back to desktop. As stated , right click SWTOR icon, select open with, deleted Bitraider folder, launched game. It stated to verify, about 10min later it finished. Clicked play and whoola... playing again. Again, as I stated game was already installed and working. Not sure about newly installed games. If it didn't work on new installs, check your gear you may need to upgrade you PC.
I was stalled at “Verifying”. “Play wouldn’t pop up at all. But this step worked for me. Thank you! 🙏🏽
It says ST in the corner, and I delete the Bitraider folder, but when I run it, it still says ST and I get a Bitraider popup that says "Installation of the driver and support components require administrative permission and acknowledgment. Try invoking the client again. Installer cannot continue. Exiting." I've tried running as administrator, I've tried reopening the launcher, nothing. Any ideas?
If anyone still has this problem, i opend thr laucher.settings file and edited "bitraider_disable": false to "bitraider_disable": true and it worked. hope it works for other people too.
Hello all!
Having not played SWTOR for 4-5 years I reinstalled it now on 2020 to Windows 10. The launcher crashed many times, but it was because I had low disk space.
Then it got installed up to "ready to play" mode. The game would not start first.
But it started after:
-I had deleted the settings.ini -file (which DID have correct resolutions by the way for my monitor) and...
-I put all the 4 application executables of main folder to my trusted files list on my 360 security...
-I put also the swtor.exe from swtor/retailclient to trusted list...
-I put the whole folder of Star Wars-The Old Republic to trusted list...
-I also had before set all the previous 5 application executables to be run in Administrator privileges (for all the windows accounts)
I hope this helps
Tried a repair ? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/GUIDE-Client-Repair-Scan/td-p/6454174/jump-to/first-unread-message
with 360 ensure any exceptions are set to allow instead of just auto
@proxos666Hello, no I did not try the Repair, because the game works already. At least I'm in character selection, but it's still downloading because I have an old character, who I suppose is not in a "starting world" that can be played at this stage of the install process.... But it's good to know there's a Repair if more problems occur.
