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).
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.
