SWtOR launcher won't open
So, I posted this on the SWtOR website forums when I was still a subscriber and I got a single response, and the guy never got back to me. So hopefully this place will be better.
So, let's get this stuff out of the way first. I'm on an HP Envy 700 PC, stock not custom. I have TalkTalk internet, pretty decent connection. I've played SWtOR for about 3-4 years now (make give or take half a year since this started) and I use Norton security. I live in Scotland, in case that helps.
So, the problem started several months back. I got a hankering for some SWtOR again, so I tried to start up the launcher. No luck. Half a year later and I've tried reinstalling the game, booting my PC in safe mode, downloading LauncherRepairUtility and installing it, looking through the sysWOW64 folder and not finding what was indicated, I've tried removing the programme from my firewall and re-adding it, making sure it's allowed through, running as admin, running as guest, running as a rusting jackalope, all to no avail.
I want to play this game. I enjoy it. Could somebody please help me? I understand a full factory reset would probably be ideal, but I have a lot of * on this computer and I don't want to get rid of it all and have to reinstall Windows 10 all over again because that * takes FOREVER. So I want to use a factory reset only as an absolute last resort, like about to hit the ground last.
So, any help?
Yeah, that won't work for me, Proxos, because the launcher wouldn't open at all.
But it doesn't matter now. I did a reset on my computer, thankfully managed to keep my personal files, and upon downloading and installing the game again, I could play normally.
So, in case anybody else gets this problem: the only solution is to reset your PC. Apologies.
