Login Server issues.

@Talamaine

First thing is to remove and re-add the exceptions for launcher.exe to the antivirus and firewall

@proxos666

Tried that just now. No effect ☹️ 

@Talamaine

Which Antivirus and Firewall are you using ?

Also in the game folder is a log folder with dated launcher logs can you attach the latest one here

I use Norton 360. I've tried turning it off as well as using the filter for the firewall. Neither seems to work. When I did the reinstall I disabled the antivirus. Here's the log you requested. Thanks so much for your help. I do appreciate it!

@Talamaine

The log is showing the below

2016-12-18 07:48:14 INFO Login failure #-134 recorded
2016-12-18 07:48:14 ERROR Server did not properly respond to authenticate: -134

With Norton 360 , see the below in the firewall section find swtor and set specifically to allow

if launcher.exe doesnt exist in there add it and set to "Allow"

It was in the list already as Allow. I checked the firewall settings for it again and it still says allow. I turned it off completely and tried to login and still same message. With it on and program set to allow same message. I double checked my networks router and its firewall is set to allow all access from the lan to the wan. Confusing then huh? My computer prides itself on being confusing at moments 🙂

Just to confirm when you said pinged login server it was launchpad.swtor.com 

I am afraid i have to go for the night (1 am here ) but will pop back in the morning will post if I can think of where to look next.

Ok, Just uninstalled/reinstalled again and put it in the default folder incase something strange is going on there. When you install the original installer it has to  update the launcher and that works just fine. It updates the launcher to the newest version and then I hit the wall of login server issues. 

yea I can ping the login server. Launchpad.swtor.com. 

Thanks for your help! Sleep good!

Take the system to a clean boot per this link and see if login works ok , the launcher should be able to login but the patching wont work unless the service called bitraider minisupport service stub loader is left enabled. dont forget to go back to normal boot after testing
