SW:TOR this application has encountered an unspecified error

whenever trying to use the streaming launcher it comes up with an "unspecified error" and will not patch, using the non streaming patcher works. disabling my anti-virus and firewall does not rectify the issue and someone else on the same router can use the ST patcher

    Is there any reason you cant remain on non streaming ? unspecified error cannot occur on SSN

    If you really want to stay with bitraider try the below first

    Shut down the launcher.

    • Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc (or Win-X in Windows 10) to open task manager.
    • Click on the Processes tab and end the following Bit Raider processes: BRSptStub.exe and BRSptSvc.exe
    • Go to your installation directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic) and open the BitRaider folder.
    • Delete the Config folder.
    • Delete all .xfr files in the BitRaider folder.
    • Restart the launcher, it should now force a repair and allow you back into the game.
  • I have already attempted those steps and I'm still having issues. Only reason for wanting to use the streaming launcher is for the speed.

    Hi GokuSpore,

    That error message can mean a lot of things; can you please post your launcher log? Then we can find out what the problem is.

    Your launcher logs are found in your SWTOR folder under "logs", e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\logs", and they are sorted by date.

    There is another log file called swtor_swtor found in the bitraider folder , this log will be handy as well.

    Edit - if you cant solve this error appearing then switch to non streaming launcher per the directions at this link , it is a new game download but the error will be gone
