If you're running some real-time security software, please assure you've added launcher.exe and swtor.exe to the exceptions list(s) in your anti-virus program or 3rd-party firewall software. Take Norton Security as an example below.
Additionally, you may need to re-add, or remove and re-add, one or both of them after you get every (new) patch installed. Moreover, there are some other settings you may have to change as well, depending on which antivirus or firewall app you use, such as "scan exclusions".
Other troubleshooting info you may try:
1. Ensure the below service "bitraider mini support service stub loader" is running and set to automatic. And, If you're using AVG Antivirus Free or other AVG-related securirty software, ensure that service has been is removed from the "put to sleep unless activated" list in the AVG maintenance.
Note, this method applies to the Streaming Launcher only.
2. Close the Launcher and the game client (if it’s running) completely using WTM.
Delete the .xfr files and the "config" folder from the “BitRaider” folder in your game install directory:
For 32bit operating systems - C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\BitRaider
For 64bit operating systems - C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\BitRaider
Run the Launcher using the admin access, later.
