I'm running Windows 10, and my antivirus and firewall is Bit Defender. I've checked the log to see if its blocking it, but there's nothing there.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times now, each one using a new download from the website. Only on the first attempt to play does the launcher briefly come up. It then disappears, and after a minute it so, the host error comes up. After the first time, the launcher doesn't show at all.
When I get back to my PC, I'll grab the dxdiag report, if that helps anyone. My Nvidia drivers are up to date, as is Windows. I can try specifically excluding swtor from Bit Defender.
I appreciate the response!

With bitdefender there has been issues previously over the years, the only way to tell at that time bitdefender had anything to do with swtor was to uninstall bitdefender, reboot and then see if swtor behaved , unfortunately this is worth doing for this too even if to be sure its not bitdefender
just dont forget to put bitdefender back after testing

I added exceptions to BitDefender, but it didn't help. I haven't uninstalled it ... yet. I'll try that later on if nothing else works.
I ran dxdiag, but I don't see anything in it that would indicate the problem.

Perhaps I should try uninstalling the game (again), and installing via Steam instead.

given you say it briefly appears on the first step, i would like to know it isnt bitdefender 100%
