I haven't played this game since a month after it came out. I have no memory of any mechanics and have very little memory of the story and wanted to start over fresh. I have created and deleted a new character more than ten times tonight and with each character created the game shows either part of or the whole STAR WARS scrolling marque video then crashes to desktop without any error messages or anything to tell me what happened. If I try and re log on to the new character again I have the same crash halfway through the loading screen. If I delete the character and try to create a new one its the same problem. I can log on the my ancient characters from way back when without any problems but have no idea where I am or what I am doing. I put in my 15 bucks for the month and would like to be able to use it to play. Any help?

I have the exact same problem. To try and fix it i ran a repair installation this worked, and i thought that was the end of the problem.
Wrong.
I went to work, and when i came back i had the exact same problem. i've had to run the repair instalation every time i wanted to play swtor for the last 3 days. It takes about 20-30minutes to repair, and regardless i should not have to run a repair everytime i want to play.
Is it me or the game?
and more importantly..
Is there a fix?
