Bioware implemented a launcher update today, but they ran into some trouble along the way. This caused a number of players to have issues logging in, updating and launching SWTOR. Community manager Eric Musco posted on the official forums a workaround for that. If you are receiving the “WTOR Launcher is Being Updated. Please, wait” error (or any other, related to the Launcher, actually), here is what you should do:
Here are the steps to take:
- Restart your computer! This is very important as it ensures that no versions of the launcher are currently running.
- Download this utility: http://cdn-patch.swtor.com/patch/Lau…OL_xpvista.exe
- Run the launcher repair utility (note this utility will force your launcher to be on BitRaider, this is mandatory for the fix to work)
- Once complete, start your launcher and you should now be able to login normally. (If you were on SSN and had to switch to BitRaider you should expect a lengthy verification period. This is normal!)
If this does not work, here are a few things to check:
- If the launcher will not run or you are still receiving the error. Restart your computer and then ensure the launcher is not running in task manager. Then follow the steps above to run the utility..
- The launcher repair utility will attempt to remove a folder called “patch” from the SWTOR directory. The launcher may not run properly if this delete did not occur. You can try deleting this folder manually and then follow the steps above to run the utility.
This fix will allow your game to continue to run until October. It may run beyond that, but there are no guarantees
If you are experiencing this issue and you are running the game on WinXP, there may be a separate issue. The team is looking into that now.
If after doing the above you are still not working, please run the launcher.diag.exe file located in your SWTOR directory. You can send the logs to communitysupport@swtor.com.
