Jesus tapdancing Christ! For some reason - some unexplainable reason - SWTOR just won't start. "Area dat file missing". A quick search on google gets me a thread on swtor.com on "please reinstall teh game" - meaning 20 gigs of redownloading... again! WTF?
Have you tried to do a repair? You can find it in the launcher, click the settings icon and then click repair
yup, tried that... it crashed at 38% -.-
Then you have to reintall im afraid:/
Get the disks? It takes like 30 min or so to install the game with them.
So you have an answer to your question already you just wanted to make a thread to vent and complain about it? Hardly discussion worthy.
