    Might wait and confirm with CS (unsure when they are coming online at present) if they have any further thoughts given the validation error in the swtor_swtor  log folder

    I am concerned if an SSN install also stopped , there is ample hard drive space ? just to be certain given the game needs 40GB HDD space and may be worth running a chkdsk too just to be certain while waiting.

    Can also try a clean boot per this link 

    You will need to leave the bitraider mini stub loader service running or it will not download at all

    I am heading off for the night 

    in between it would be handy if you posted a dxdiag per this link

    also while still looking into this, can you with the launcher closed delete the bitraider folder then start the launcher , this will trigger a file verification process

  • i followed all the steps provided by those link, believe me.. i really want to play this game, and i was successful enough the 1st time to complete minimum download and playing in starting planets, why it failed the next time is annoying enough. 

    here's my dxdiag

    dxdiag

    Can you open a command prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow 

    see if that fixes anything

    Switching to Non streaming may be worthwhile moving forward

  • done sfc /scannow, and currently redownload by non-streaming will update in 24 hrs

    Spoiler

    okay then.. it seems this point automatically stopped the download, reduce the speed or whatever, i am officially pissed... what the heck  EA?

    tried to test my connection and i does perfectly fine, i can still browse, stream movies etc, but not this. this is not cool at all.

    The only other thing i can think of for the log to register bad data ,as if it was a CDN more then one person would have this issue currently

    Although you can change the dns it should change the CDN used in most cases, like try 8.8.8.8 (googles) as a DNS server for example

    Now other causes of that error in the log is usually down to bad ram , this may also explain why both patch methods are failing, SSN is actually way more sensitive to bad memory then bitraider.

    other then that cant hurt to do a chkdsk to ensure there are not bad sectors on the drive if not already.

    Now another thing with Bitraider is that 5400RPM drives struggle with its patch method and given you have a WD blue drive it is 5400RPM, they actually recommend do not attempt to play once minimum download is reached and wait for the entire game to install - see streaming in this link

    System:
    If your system has any of the following, we recommend you wait for the download to complete before playing:

    • Less than 3GB RAM
    • Integrated graphics (typical on laptops)
    • 5400 RPM or slower hard drive

    Hope this helps
