SWTOR Launcher, inconsistent speeds

I know they did an ISP fall back a few days ago due to issues with their current ISP, may need a dns flush.

Open command prompt by clicking start, then in search type:

cmd

press enter, in the command prompt type:

ipconfig /flushdns

see if this helps.

You can also try a repair:

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.

If this doesn't work, then worse worse case would be to ensure your not on the Streaming Launcher which is what ST means.

However please note the following:

NOTE this is a complete download of the game again

Trust me I really hope you don't have to do this but if this is something that happens every patch then getting rid of bit raider will prevent this from going forward.  It may delay you playing a while longer but honestly not using bit raider helps a lot of people.  So if you want to do this steps are:

right mouse click on game shortcut and select open file location

open the launcher.settings file in notepad and locate the below line and edit to the below

, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\" }"
, "bitraider_disable": true

SAVE the changes.

Delete the BitRaider, Movie and Asset folders then start the launcher.
