SWTOR: ERROR C12

So I'm getting this, constantly when trying to exit my ship.

This program encountered an internal error and will exit.
Error code: C12

Failed to load room dat file

[/world/areas/4611686025952170568/h3g_to_h4g_trans_01.dat]
Reason: not found
You may have to reload the area to use this room by GUID [e.g. as default skyscene].

I did some research and it gave to options to fix it which were these.

Non-Streaming launcher - Log into the launcher but don't click Play. Check for small letters "ST" in the bottom left corner. If this is NOT present, click the cog icon and then run the repair option.

Streaming launcher - If the letters "ST" is present, close the launcher, right mouse click on the game shortcut, select open file location and delete the BitRaider folder. Then start the launcher

I was on the Streaming launcher first, did it what it said without success. So I switched to the non-streaming launcher and after 7 hours of redownloading and installing all of the files, then repairing the installation. This did not work either.

There is no other solution that I've found. This only started after the 4.01A patch. The original Early Access patch was fine, the bug fixes game and boom.

    Try the repair utility located here just be careful it doesn't switch you back to streaming , if it looks like it does , close the launcher and re-edit the client_settings file , just mentioning just in case.

    check the launcher.settings file after running the repair utility before launching may be best.

  • I'm going to try it now, not really worried if it switches back to streaming launcher. I used that for a long time without issue and I just want to play lol.

    if it persists after this go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor  and delete the file called diskcachearena with the launcher closed and then launch the game.

  • Tried the repair tool once, it did not work. Tried it again, then used repair installation button and it did work.

    Thanks for your help man.

    If your using the streaming launcher (ST on the lower left), the repair on the launcher will never light up , you will need to use this
