dont click ok on the popup , click the x on the top right instead and then select a character to play
there should be a patch this week that hopefully mitigates the cause of this issue - see https://forums.swtor.com/topic/929433-launcher-issues-troubleshooting-steps-updates/#comment-9768728
Clicking on the X to close the popup makes no difference. It's the same as clicking OK, the game just closes. Any other ideas or ETA on when this will get fixed? It's been going on for long enough. Pretty annoying paying for not being able to play.
Which part of this quote from the post you responded to did you not understand?

I understand it perfectly, but that doesn't change anything about the fact it's been broken for a while. Try to calm down a bit and learn some manners perhaps.
Here is another workaround:
Ignore the popup completely (don't click ok, don't click the X to close the message) and simply select a character to play. Hopefully that works for anyone who encounters the same issue 🙂
"I understand it perfectly..."
I think that is open for debate. But at least you figured out a workaround. Hopefully SWTOR dev team is able to release a patch soon to resolve this problem. Though with this being Wednesday and no patch announcement it does not look like it will be this week.
