(How-To) Manually Patch SWTOR


xxpcwizardxx

Recommended Posts

ok this guide is to show you how to download the paches manually without the games launcher and apply them to the game. I will show you too things one is how to manually patch a clean install and two how to download and patch the small patches that are for a existing install.

 

CLEAN INSTALL

 

First you need to do a clean install by downloading the 37MB SWTOR Installer or retail DVDs

 

Digital Installer:

http://patchnotes.swtor.com/SWTOR_setup.exe

 

Retail DVD Version

IF you do not have the DVDs then you may get them from amazon

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CWXAP2/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_VtCcsb18WS0MH

 

Patching Mode

 

You will need to do this if you have install the game and updated the launcher using digital installer

 

open the launcher.settings file in notepad and locate the below line

 

Change BR to SSN

if you want to use this manual patch method

 

"bitraider_disable": true

bitraider_download_complete": {}

"PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\"

 

Steam Mode

 

Change SSN to BR

if you want to use the Stream method of installing the game but atm it needs fixing as it downloads very slowly for person and some not at all

 

"PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"BR\"

 

Download Patches

 

next are the patches themselves now you find them below,

 

v1.0: You will need these patches if you are doing a clean install using the digital installer but these patches will never change as these are the base game patches

To work out what the new links will be in future you just need to change the number after 0to____ in the file name and directory for example if there has been a 1 new patch since this post then those numbers will go up by one,

 

Example Links

 

Original

http://cdn-patch.swtor.com/patch/assets_swtor_main/assets_swtor_main_0to155/assets_swtor_main_0to155.zip

 

New

http://cdn-patch.swtor.com/patch/assets_swtor_main/assets_swtor_main_0to156/assets_swtor_main_0to156.zip

 

 

In The Patch links List you will see links with the name of the folders that the files go into once you have them all download will will move on to the next step. OK once download leave them in a safe place for backup and copy them to the new install directory that you have made using the retail DVDs then open the launcher and let it update

 

Once the launcher has closed and reopen log-in. it will say its verifying the current patch it was looking for that you have place in the game directory then it install it then move on to the next patch until the game has been fully updated and YOUR DONE

 

Existing Install

 

this is pretty much the same as find the new links for method as clean but you change the patch numbers from prevous patch number to the new patch number

 

Example Link

 

http://cdn-patch.swtor.com/patch/assets_swtor_main/assets_swtor_main_177to178/assets_swtor_main_177to178.zip

 

Note: if you missed more than one patch you will need to do it again

 

I can do a video guide if shown Interest

That is very appreciated!

 

I always have a hard time patching and EA are clueless about how to fix their corrupted sources problem, usually blaming user's hardware.

 

At least now I can re-download the faulty package and move on with my life instead of wasting my whole evening in a patching loop.

Corrupted Source issues can certainly be Hardware

You can move off that patching mode now if it is causing you grief though, it will just mean if you ever need to run the repair you need to delete the Bitraider folder located in the game folder.

 

goto

:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic

 

and open the launcher.settings file in notepad and locate the below line

 

"PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\"

Change SSN to BR

"PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"BR\"

 

Going SSN to BR should be a fairly quick process (been told 5minutes if patched up) (BR to SSN is longer though)

You will need to place these files in folders that i named above and copy them to the installed dir then run the launcher, let it update the launcher and it will close and reopen

now you can login and agree to the terms and let it install the patches and wait until you can hit play

 

Enjoy :D
