Repair Launcher and BitRaider
Why does it install BitRaider when I go to Repair Launcher? The fact that I have to re-download the entire game just to get rid of BitRaider now is ridiculous. BitRaider should be optional.

Do the same as below and edit the launcher.setting file to disable bitraider, don't delete any folders, then start the launcher
What occurs is when it switches to bitraider it will want to convert the current assets , stopping before this occurs and switching back to SSN , should be fairly painfree download wise.
Wait, so, edit the launcher.setting file then use the repairlauncher? Otherwise what's the point of just opening then shutting the repair launcher down before it does anything?
No edit the launcher.settings file after using the repair launcher , this is to check it hasn't swapped the settings to BR
As long as the files don't get converted then , swapping back to SSN will recognise the assets already there
Edit - For others reading, The below only applies to Non Streaming launcher , to repair Streaming launcher (Bitraider) details are here
Why are you using the launcher repair utility anyways ?
To refresh the core launcher files close the launcher, delete the file called retailclient_swtor.version and start the launcher
To repair game files, AFTER log in , click on the username on the top right and select settings then repair
