Re: Able to login to the launcher, but 'unable to retrieve patch data' (206)(312)

I removed and re-added SWTOR from the Firewall and now I can't even login. Still on error 206

    What antivirus are you using ?

    2018-04-09 15:22:31 INFO Login failure #-134 recorded
    2018-04-09 15:22:31 ERROR Server did not properly respond to authenticate: -134

    Is generally seen with antivirus issue so first place to check

    ESET - disable protocol settings

    Kaperskey - disable scan secure/encrypted connections

    Nortons (firewall) set exception to allow instead of auto

    I'm using Avast Free atm. Don't think it regulates my firewall though--that's Windows Defender I think. Do you know the settings for that?

    I've tried adding the entire SWTOR folder to the FIleShield and WebShield exclusion list, to no avail.

    Edit: I've uninstalled Avast. Still the same errors (I can login now, but then it still shows error 206 on the bottom left of the launcher). Reinstalled, no dice.

    Ok it appears your dns is resolving strangely , have you ever altered your host file ?

    can you try using 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and see if any change 

    In parts of your log it resolves manifest and cdn-patch to the same IP address and that is incorrect

    http://cdn-patch.swtor.com/patch/eualas/eualas_-1to0.solidpkg (156.154.176.215 156.154.175.215 )

    http://manifest.swtor.com/patch/patcher2017.patchmanifest (156.154.176.215 156.154.175.215 )

    Yet it gets it right once in the log

    http://manifest.swtor.com/patch/patcher2017.patchmanifest (159.153.92.50 )
