Hi Proxos and thanks for the reply,
I finally managed to make it work with Steam (which wasn't possible back in the days hehe).
Got a notification as if the launcher problem has been solved....
....well, indeed I found a way to make it work, but only through Steam.
A far as I know the BitRaider problem has never really been fixed in....10 YEARS ! (which is as hilarious as very frustrating)
Players still struggle with it quite often, I've just been one of them for the past years, until recently.
Then NOPE, sorry, but you cannot mark this topic as "solved", because it really isn't.
(actually Steam done it for you.)
Bitraider has not been the default game patch method for the launcher since august last year , there are legacy installs
anyone now downloading the swtor setup file and doing a clean install, they should not be using bitraider
Looks like I didn't catch that patch...
I've done a regular install, as usual, by downloading swtor.exe directly from the official website, and it simply didn't work.
Actually, I had to download the .exe twice, try to delete some folders, etc.
For the average player who doesn't know anything about BitRaider or isn't aware about the Steam way, the problem still exists.
This is why I do think it hasn't been fixed. Or maybe I've just been unlucky...like many others ?
People don't want to struggle with a launcher and waste time looking for solutions on forums. They just just to log in and press "play". See how it works with Blizzard...
Sorry to be that guy, really. But coming back to SWTOR after four years and witness the same problems as before is discouraging.
