- ERROR 22: A CRITICAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED WHILE INITIALIZING DIRECTDRAW DOWNLOAD
I am stuck and unable to get in the game. Try again and have to repair again on a loop. Run the repair and it says it is finished.
Downloaded and installing assets 23 patch. Game was working until this latest patch. Im currently reinstalling the game on my laptop and going to copy the directory over to my pc. Im affraid i tried this and did not work.
If it worked for you, its most likely luck hitting the correct CDN servers rather than anything else. It is over-written by any permissions set in the security tab. You realise that EVERY directory has that tick in 'read-only' and is inherent to the operating system.

Download WinRar and extract all the files to a different folder (or better yet - put them into C:\Program Files\EA\BioWare\Star Wars - The old republic\) - if it coughs up errors, just ignore it and let it finish extracting.

rar files from the DVDs to a folder on your PC/external hard drive.Ģ. If you have trouble installing the game from the DVDs ġ. Run the launcher let it get through its vigorous patching process (all 12.8gb of it >.>) and you should be fine now. When the pop-up appears click "Apply to all subfolders and files". if the box was full/ticked - untick it - click "Apply"Ĥ.
MAKE SURE - "Read-only" is - UNTICKED!!! (means - box has to be empty/WHITE) NOTE: if the box was unticked that means your launcher problem is not related to this.ģ. Right-click the star wars folder, click on propertiesĢ. THIS IS WHAT YOU DO IF YOUR LAUNCHER REFUSES TO PATCH/UPDATE PROPERLY! Check the installation folder of SWTOR (C:\Program Files\EA\BioWare\Star Wars - The old republic\ (for 64bit: "Program Files(x86)")ġ. I DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL FIX YOUR ISSUES! This is something that I noticed while trying to get this game to work. Posting this again, for gods sakes please try it!
