    MSVCR90.dll is a Microsoft Visual C Runtime Link Library

    0xc000012f  error as displayed indicates corruption , most likely C++ is corrupted this issue is outside of the game itself although it is stopping the game from launching.

    Microsoft offers the latest versions via this link  and i would start with C++ 2012

    There maybe some other thing going on here causing issues , a fresh install should not have a corrupted C++ version 

    Run a chkdsk and check the memory sticks etc , i suspect if not already you are going to see errors appearing from more then just swtor

If you open a command prompt as administrator and run the command below , does it find any errors ?

sfc /scannow

    if you are ever looking at doing this again (for any reason) maybe try a in-place repair first as per this link

    benefit is it retains user data and programs

    I don’t really loose much as I have windows on an SSD, and all my programs, games etc on a hard drive - so it’s just a case of linking them back up in windows afterwards.

    I looked at using reimage, but didn’t fancy paying £28 quid for only a years use.

    Totally convinced that this game truly hates me.

    I’ve done a fresh install today AFTER installing windows, let it finish, clicked play and..... nothing.

    No evidence of it running in task manager, no screen flicker, just... nothing.

    I have now disabled bitraider, which appears to be totally redownloading the whole game. This is getting farcical now. I’m trying to get it working because it’s bugging me, but this amount of errors from this game considering everything else runs great, is making me firmly point the finger towards the game and or programming being the antagonist here.

    For me, this is a last try and then it’s gone - uninstalled and forgotten about, which is a shame as it used to work without any issues when I last played it. Oh well, win some loose some eh?

    Are you removing bit raider as per the steps here?

    Also what anti-virus and firewall are you using?  Is window and all drivers up to date?

    After another install without bitraider, it informed me that some .dll file wasn’t designed to run on Windows and to reinstall it. I noticed when I went to uninstall that there where 2 versions of the game on my drive.

    I’m totally stumped as to why this game has so many issues, and I haven’t even been able to play it.

    So I’m done. Thanks for attempting to help, but this game is now dead to me. I’ve wasted roughly 12hrs trying to get this thing to work, more if you factor in I did a complete windows install only for something else to go wrong. RIP SWTOR

    Here's the error popup btw...

    that error means nothing to me
