It appears to be halting on 217 , if you have eliminated the Antivirus etc and stumped
maybe the easiest way may be is too , copy the asset and movie folder to a temp location , also copy the launcher.settings file as well the .version files
delete everything there , use the disks or the setup from www.swotor.com/download , after the launcher updates and it is starting to patch, close the launcher , copy the launcher.settings file etc back and also the asset and movie folders and start the launcher
it should in theory see the existing files and start a fresh download, yet you have just refreshed the install.
does that make sense ?
nope that 1 didnt work either.
Did the clean install, copied back those files. It Redownloaded the patch, went to install main assets 218 and frozen again. exact same as before.
keep a copy of those files and folders for now
if you try the same thing in a different install location does it persist ?
if it does it likely has to be file related , it maybe worth biting the bullet and delete the asset folder and see if it starts patching correctly , yes it will be a large download , without knowing which file may be a cause it is difficult to eliminate as a cause.
thanks for the help proxo, just gonna have to "bite the bullet" and just redownload the lot. leave it on overnight.
thanks for all your help with trying, much appericated
Welcome mate ,if for some reason still issues, let me know and can try look and help work out why (let hope not needed).
Logic suggests it is highly likely file related
