Re: SWTOR Windows 10 Launcher GUI wont launch outside of safe mode!

@JaguarXJR15

Just attach the msinfo here to a post

ok here is the misinfo

@JaguarXJR15

There is one thing easy to check can you go to C:\windows\syswow64 folder and see if a libcef.dll file exists there ? if one does delete it.

May take me a few days to go through this properly as looking at this in my spare time

You say the swtor launcher is your only issue ? 

the msinfo has the following crash reports over the last few days

7/22/2018 6:13 AM Event Name: RADAR_PRE_LEAK_WOW64&#x000d Problem P1: StarWarsG.exe

Can u perhaps persuade EA/BioWare to update/redesign their launcher to be more robust like say the PlanetSide 2 Launcher by the next expansion if they do one if we run out of help tips to solve this issue? with the money they make this shouldn't be a problem for them. 

With that said ive tried just about everything to fix this launcher issue from reading posts before posting this thread to looking at videos. its been broken for me for almost a month now. Id rather they do something for everyone than for me to reformat my whole computer only for this mysterious bug to happen again. because when it did happen I didn't change anything on my system and Im pretty sure I don't have any viruses or it would affect my other games.

Anyway thanks for all the help thus far!

Peace!

bump! still need help with this!

Also I tried checking my DirectX like another post similar to this one no go there was nothing wrong with mine but still the launcher for mine doesn't load up at all just a spinning circle then the game closes I tried many of the standard fixes like the launcher repair, reinstalling the game, the firewall none work. please help!

@JaguarXJR15

Glad you managed to find the cause and thanks for saying what you found it may help someone else one day.

May The Force Be With You

ok problem again i tried windows defender firewall it worked for 1 playthrough but as soon as i restart the game or computer it stops working again. then when i try forwarding my ports it works but when i restart teh game or computer it stops working again. any ideas how to keep it working consistently even when launching the launcher 1 time. after forwarding ports. it works 1 time. then closing it, opening it again, it doenst work! any ideas?

Hello. I'm having the same issue. Could you please describe how to add swtor foles to a Windows firewall exeptions? 

Tried everything, safe mode and win 10 firewall seem to be my last hope.

@rara_orly Were you able to get launched and logged in yet?

If you still need to sort out the Windows Firewall, you can open the start menu and type in Firewall, and one of the results should be "Allow an app through Windows Firewall".

The two application files you need to add are:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\swtor\retailclient\swtor.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\launcher.exe

Bumping this up again, even though it says Solved.

I'm having this very same issue, I tried everything suggested all over the web, including this guide https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-quot-How-to-install-Swtor-Correctly-and-address-Windows-10/td-p/4851036 and nothing helped whatsoever so far, Launcher.exe process just hangs on for a few seconds while I'm checking Task Manager and then simply closes, with no message at all, only twice I saw Windows' troubleshooting manager, tried it too, nada, zilch.

Also, I changed update download method from Bitrade to SSN, I had way better experience having it like this in the past. I downloaded a game partially too, but interrupted it due to too late in the night yesterday.

As the topic says, I can start launcher.exe in Safe Mode with Networking only.

Attaching two so far created log files.

@SylvaeDragon

noted you are short on HDD space at one point, mind that should have nothing to do with the launcher appearing

If you have tried everything mentioned in this thread and other links then maybe a in-place repair may be worth a try, see this link  for windows 10 as an example this keeps all user data and programs intact.
