loading screen goes up to 90% and stops

@TheSkiv I understand that you may be 'new' to the game but don't stress the issue does look like an easy one.

Firstly I believe that your appdata/local.swtor folder and all its sub folders are "read only" so as your trying to make a new character, your PC is not allowing the config files for your character to be created.(*Running your swtor.exe as admin always helps.... **Right Cllick your Short Cut**).

That said without the game running you will need to make a few changes./.... ahh yes your currently downloading the game so you have a problem there. Probably should just wait till it's finished downloading.

I should at this point out that Logs are your friend; they can show you a lot more information on what is going on.

"Shooting Blind" here I am going to ask ... are you currently running Windows 10?.. as there is a massive amount of things required to get games to run on windows 10 at there full potential, I have/had a guide... trying to get it back... let me know if this is the case.

"ST" in the bottom left of your Launcher after you 'log' in to your Launcher but do not click 'Play', means that you have a 'Streaming' client.

Nothing is wrong with the streaming client, infact it does its job well; what this means is that if you ever wish to repair your files (without swtor anything running) you will "Delete" your Bitraider folder inside your program files "Swtor" the game folder; and then run your Launcher, the repair will commence almost straight away and take a minute or 2.

@DBWoodynz

I am running everything as an admin. Also, yes, its Windows 10. The game is fully downloaded, or so it says on the launcher. However in game, on character select screen it says that the game is running in "streaming mode", i think it was called, and the game is still being downloaded so i can only play the starting planets. Below the phrase the percentage showed 0.00%.

Yea, from the bread cramps of what I found on the net I figured out what the "st" stands for and pretty much how it works. I disabled bitraider through launcher.setup. Will see if that helps. Redownloading the game now. -_-

Be warned last time I downloaded the game that way it was 3 days worth of downloading... but I am in NZ.. and the ST client isn't a bad thing.

So yea... turning off BitRaider didn't help. Still stuck on the same bloody loading screen after character select. ☹️

I'm out of ideas. Help?

@Juan312P are you possibly free 2 play? ... pretty sure I read somewhere that f2p gets no in game support chief certainly hope not as that will make things difficult. customer support team have always been lovely to me.

*don't recall seeing any logs from you on this yet.

@TheSkiv I'm floating about for another 30 minutes; your call either pull out your Logs (Launcher,Dxdiag, and others) and post them here or PM me a Skype contact to connect through.

@DBWoodynz

I got the logs out using LauncherDiag.exe. Hope that's what you expected. If you need anything else to try and produce a possible solution - let me know.

Thanks in advance!

If this is only one character

Was this character say logged out in a stronghold or guildship ?

If this is a case submit either a in-game ticket or an email to support@swtor.com

Give all the details if an email , username , server , character , level.

mention it was logged out in say the stronghold and now cant login on that character and request that character to be moved to fleet.

Wow, your game files are a mess, like Pompeii was a hot tub that got alittle out of hand.

This BR log is your Bitraider log; screams that it is trying to do it's job but hitting walls.

 Internal HD Graphics vis your Dxdiag, says laptop, wow 1920x1080 ambitious.

Moving on for the broad picture you will want your

Launcher.Log

Program Files/ Star Wars/ Logs

and your Swtor.exe (Retail) Log.

Program Files/Star Wars/Swtor/retailclient/swtor/logs.

*Be Warned!~ this file does contain your log in user name.

Edit this part of the Information Out of  any and all public posts

*Scroll back @proxos666 Owen you will find they didn't like that advice.

@proxos666

no, I tried creating other characters on other servers - same thing. Also I am new so the character was just created, I never even got to play. ☹️ I can't create a ticket since I can not get into the game past character select.
