Is this occurring for just one character or all characters trying to go to imperial fleet ?
with the game and laucnher not running
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor and delete just the file called diskcachearena
then run the repair and try once more
Before trying what you just suggested I figured I'd try it on another PC (my laptop), which is actually worse than my stationary. And I'm actually using the exact same files as I did for my stationary cause I've installed the game on a USB external hard drive. So I just popped it on on my * laptop and logged in. AND IT WORKED. I have no idea why. It's lagging and it's almost unplayable (cause * laptop). But at least it got me onto the imperial fleet.
And no, I hadn't altered any files at all this time.
This isn't making any sense.
That discachearena file is one of the games cache files , deleting and launching will make the game create a fresh one in case the cache is borked
otherwise if both systems have an up to date game files , can try and copy the asset folder from the working system to the asset folder of the system with the issue
are you saying your playing the game on both systems from a removable hdd ?
If you run into this again
If one system causes an issue and the other doesnt lower all gfx settings next time, the main diference is they will have different app data folders and different client_setting files located in the appdata area
with the game and launcher not running
Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time
Copy the following in to the text box and press ok
%localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings
Delete the client_settings.ini file
