Launcher will not start, gets "Unable to load application configuration"
Any time I try to run the launcher since Sept 25th, I only get the error referenced in the subject: "Unable to load application configuration." I have been though many steps of updating and checking and sending diags and procmons to EA Support but they have not found a solution for me.
It really pains me to have to leave the game but this was not my choice. However, short of a reload or restore from early August, I can't seem to get a proper solution.
I've reset winsocks, I've reinstalled TCP/IP, I've tried the game in safe mode w/ networking, I've wiped it out from my PC entirely, but now I'm dead in the water.
Any one ever see this error? I've been running through things for over a week now, so it's not something from the 1st page or 2 of search results.
The last thing I did was to run some namehelp DNS optimizer ... even after uninstalling it, I am still having issues. I didn't seem to have a system restore point BEFORE the problem, just the one from my first uninstall. The developer for that software is MIA. The only thing I did notice that was odd, was that most of the net*.inf files in my c:\windows\inf folder are symbolic links rather than actual files but they are not that way on my laptop or a friend's Windows 7 PC as well.
Please, amazing SWTOR Community, you're my only hope!
