Its not really a workaround. Its a bandaid that will leave you with many gigs of worthless game files in your folder from two separate downloads. Good luck trying to sort that out.

I left it open when I went to sleep after the servers went down last night. Like I do with anything that needs updating. Like Steam and other game launchers/patchers. When I woke up it was downloading the entire game again. I've never had this happen before with this game or any game. But it happened the same day I decided to start playing again. I was considering subbing again, but with this showing of incompetence I don't know why I should.

Thats what I'm doing. Its a great welcome back from Bioware. Spent 2 days downloading the game on my terrible internet. Play for 2 hours and then maintenance for 14+ hours. Start launcher and redownload the entire game again. I've spent more time downloading this game than I do actually playing most games. Hopefully its faster without that ****** Bitraider.

Since I'm already ****ed I decided to just get rid of bit raider completely. Here is the method for anyone that is interested. http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=6693353&postcount=2

People that say things like this make my eyes roll uncontrollably into my brain. You take things way too serious, star wars is not real life.

The Bitraider client is the default download since they added the streaming client 2 years ago. Everyone that has downloaded the game since then has it.

Just one day ago I decided that I would give this game another try. I waited through hours of bandwidth stealing bitraider downloading. I'm not sure what the program does, but it slows my internet to a crawl and nothing else does that. Now I get to do it all again. Thank you Bioware for your incompetence.

This has to be one of the dumbest and most fanboy *** kissing thing I've ever read on the internet. I have left the launcher open for every MMO I have ever played and launchers for many other games with no issues. It is far easier to just have it automatically update while I'm asleep and be ready for when I want to play the game. I've never had a game decide to reinstall itself for no apparent reason. This is just garbage single player developers still stumbling around trying to figure out how to run an MMO 3 years later.

Guess not.

I have a Gamorrean Axe on one of my characters. It doesn't show up in my collections though for any other characters.

I was just wondering if there has been any developer word on why most of the stuff I did before the achievement system was added was never counted. Even things that are tracked in game, like pvp stats.

New video up

When did you record that?

If anyone is interested in some Marauder PVP videos, i have been recording some warzones with my GF and a couple of other friends occasionally. Feel free to leave comments/criticism, i know i make a few mistakes. Always looking to improve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5q2_JlrrtA Channel- http://www.youtube.com/user/Monolithic871/videos

Really? I swear it used to be the other way. Maybe im thinking of another game.
