edit the client_setting file first per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/Guide-Game-failing-to-launch-on-Clicking-Play/m-p/4809830/highlight/true#M70795
and see if any change
Remove and re-add exceptions for the game in both the antivirus and firewall in case its being blocked

Edited client_setting.ini. It did not have any of those lines so I had to add them.
Removed and re-added SWTOR to Windows Defender & Windows Firewall.
Still the same outcome - nothing is coming out after the launcher closes.
Reset my PC as a last resort, SWTOR now functions normally. Shame I couldn't find the solution properly.
I have exactly the same issue. I bought a new NEO Predator laptop, downloaded the game, I click on PLAY and it goes nowhere.
new systems need the legacy files https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 , i gather the play button just dims and lights up again
