If that does not work, try restarting the computer in Safe Mode with Networking and see if it works. If it does, then you have some program on your machine interfering with it: most likely your antivirus.

Make sure that you have more than 4 GB on your machine: 3 GB is the bare minimum and 3-4 is iffy.

Thank you again, but I re-downloaded, I putted the exclusion on my antivirus and I have 8gb ram and it still doesn't work, I will try the safe mode tommorow. Do I have to do something with ImDisk or just install it?

Hi there, tried to make it work but no luck so far, it keeps telling me ImDisk is not installed.
Well, actually it -is- ...

From a few posts above:

Done, same error.

Done as well, same thing.
Antivirus: none running

Moved it to swtor directory: no change
Added swtor/swtor unleashed into PATH: no change

Brief machine config:
Win 7 SP1 64bits (Family Premium edition)
.NET Framework 4.5.1.x installed
RAM: 8 GB


Did I miss something ?

Found the problem, it was because of Radeon Pro, I use it with my nvidia card to force sweet fx in games and still be able to use steam overlay/xfire etc and was causing issues with this particular program, working now.

Thanks for the help.

To use both RadeonPro and SWTOR Unleashed, I first run SWTOR Unleashed, and, when it´s done loading and the launcher pops up, run RadeoPro (which whines a bit when run in compatibility mode and as admin), then start the game.

NOTE #1: Once RadeonPro is run, SWTOR Unleashed doesn´t start properly (thus cannot be set to retail or quit) as long as the RadeonPro process is running. RadeonPro can be shot down manually thru Task Manager; after that, SWTOR Unleashed can again be run to remove it or start as retail.
NOTE #2: RadeonPro´s UI does not work in compatibility mode

Only cons that I know of are set up time and that every time a patch is downloaded, you must run the game once in "Retail" mode, then quit the game and run it in "Unleashed" mode.

Increase of performance depends on your computer specs. For me, it does not keep FPS any more reliable than not running it. However, loading times are about half of what they are without it. Also, I do not have the loading screen come up after any taxi ride except for the ones on Makeb.

Check "Programs and Features" to see if ImDisk is installed. If not, download it from here: http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/#ImDisk .
