launcher keeps downloading patch even though I already have it.

for 2 days now I cant really play KOTFE

Launcher is stuck in a downloading loop most of the time, I did every thing I could find online, disabled ST, even uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

Launcher is working fine till he gets to the new expansion patch, this is were all problems are, yesterday I kept getting a 208 network error, only way I was able to fix it was to use a proxy. today I actually got to log in and play for about an hour but needed to restart the game, ones after my comp crashed, the game launched with no problem, I had to restart it again after a minute (for mouse settings to take effect)  and again launcher is back to downloading 11GB of patch (only now instead of downloading at 5.5Mb it runs at 0.6Mb tops)

I used launcher repair tools, nothing helps.

    I do not know what to say to help at present

    208 is normally a net issue and hence why you found a proxy helped.

    If it persists in the game folders is a log folder with launcher logs , attaching the latest log for review would be handy.

    See if it comes good otherwise will need to consider closely what is occurring

    The bitraider log was switching to audit for some reason, SSN is not showing corruption but it is having issues getting the manifest.

    Ensure your not using a proxy of any kind at present

    those 208 , 211 errors may be a net issue but they may also be Antivurs/Firewall caused

    Remove and re-add the exception for launcher.exe to the exception lists

    Ensure the game shortcut is running as administrator

    ESET - disable protocol filtering

    Kaperskey - disable scan secure connections

    Nortons (Firewall) set exceptions to "Allow" instead of "Auto"

    See if this helps at all at present

    I think this log is more complete.

    now my proxy is off and I didn't get an network error (and I already ensured its not caused by firewall/antivirus + running launcher as admin)

    right now (and sense I posted here for the first time) I'm still patching. will update when its done.

    and again, after watching the launcher downloading about 20GB past 5 hours I got to log in to see "shadow of revan" loading screen. wasn't able to log on the server as I have the "wrong" version. restarted launcher, got my favorite 208 error (sure I have a network problem, its not like I just downloaded 20GB) 

    this time I restarted my modem, got a one time security code, now downloading another 11GB. dont see how I will be able to play in this "Early access" or at any point tbh.
