AFTER updating the game to today's patch, I started receiving this error. The first time it happened, I closed the game thinking it was some random fluke. After restarting the game, it happened again. The error takes place within a few minutes after logging onto the game, it runs in the background and so it doesn't crash the game or cause any noticeable issues as far as I know. I never had this issue until AFTER I installed the latest patch.

I would post my dxdiag file but it exceeds the character limit for the post.

Just had this happen to me.

 

It popped up about 5 mins after I closed the launcher because of patch failure.

 

Looks like they properly borked this one.

 

 

All The Best

I have this error as well. I can't submit an in game bug report either. It gives me an error. Edited May 3, 2016 by Rashaverik

You can add me to this I got this after eventually getting the patch to work after 308 error

Having the exact same problem after I applied the new patch, I did not have problems installing the patch though.

Hey folks!

 

If you're seeing this, please send me your DxDiag and MSInfo so the team can investigate!

Same here.

 

Also launcher.exe loads one CPU core at 100% all the time. After we come out of the game, this app is not closed and continues to load one core at 100%.

 

Win7 x64 SP1 + updated and I run launcher.exe as Administrator.

 

After about 5 minutes or more, I'll have this window with "ABORT: Pointer is NULL", after hitting OK, the launcher.exe will close.

I sent you an answer to your pm

 

Thank you

Same here, seeing this error message pop-up every time the game is run.

Same error message, although game was patched and runs fine. No idea how to send the requested info since I can't add it in a pm.

I used pastebin.com

 

Should work fine unless they have something against third-party sites

Same problem here. Few minutes in and this error pops up. Any ideas what this is and how it affects the game?

Jedi Covenant toon name synerfold

Edit : noticed that the launcher stays in background and uses some of my CPU. THen this error appears and the process disappears. Any info would be good. Red Eclipse - Easternsun. When I close the launcher before entering game just to check what happens, the process stays in background and uses cpu. Have to manually stop the process. Edited May 3, 2016 by ExarSun

Hey, glad you can respond to this issue... Now can you give that thread with 3 pages of people who can't download the patch some attention? Thanks.

Got this error without being in game, and now I can download the patch, when I could not before and kept getting the 308 error. Edited May 3, 2016 by BluestreakTwilek

I am getting this error showing up when I try to close the launcher after getting the lovely 308 network error that fails to patch. I posted the requested log files in that thread. I will PM these files. I'm also having issues with the launcher running even after a restart. It takes about 30% of my CPU even when I haven't actually launched the game. It is (obviously) not in my startup list.

I am getting this error also. I found that if I alt+Tab to Task Manager, after getting the loading screen, and end task launcher.exe, I no longer get this error.

same here, it won't even load up after putting in the log in info. stuck there.

I just send you a report log from an attempt at a fresh new installation of the game.

 

The launcher start, i can fill in my infos, then i have about 3min of waiting, and the error Unable to retreive data 308 appear.

have successfully; flushed dns, stopped launcher32, restarted have confirmed 39ms connection 0% loss while the launcher was thinking about it and 308 error returns.

PM'd Tait with diag info earlier, NO reply from SWTOR at this time.

Sad.

 

 

I also now get the Abort pointer null error.

Fun!

I've never done that before, how do I do that? I've also got the "Abort: Pointer is NULL ((.\sharedzhastbl.c/128)" error.

just noticed that the launcher is now downloading 56% so far.

Just had it running in the background after 308 error.

see what happens.

You left it on the 308 patch error launcher? Or did you close it out, then reopen it to find it downloading?
