I had deleted the "Assets" and "Movies" folder but I managed to retrieve them. Will simply placing them back in the game folder suffice or do I have to do something else? Can I force the launcher to perform a repair so that it detects these folders that I have placed back and checks if everything is fine?
You need not just the Assets folder but also the assets_swtor_*.version files so that the launcher can recognize which version you have installed.
You can try getting the current version files from a friend, then after logging in hit the repair button so it downloads any missing Assets. But I wouldn't recommend that since it is easier to just redownload the whole game from the start.
@Raidell With a 512 kbps connection, I'm better off getting the files from a friend. Btw, won't my swtor version file do? Also, the repair option is greyed out for me. How do I force a repair?
The repair button will only be clickable after logging in and the launcher is not doing any downloads/installs. Can you please send me a screenshot of your launcher so I can confirm that you have the correct version?
If you have the current version files, the launcher will not do any downloads and the repair button is clickable. During repair, you probably don't have to download 11 GB but you will definitely have to download for a few hours until that the game is fully fixed. Do NOT hit the Play button until you have repaired the game, otherwise you will be missing random files and you will get problems the next time there is a patch.
@RaidellI'm fairly sure that I have the correct version. It's currently downloading Main Assets 222 as you can see in the screenshot. The Assets and Movies folders that I retrieved are sitting in the game folder. I just need to make the launcher aware of their presence. Also, how many more assets do I have left to download after this one is done?
Main Assets 222 is the current version, so you only have to download the 11 GB. But after the Main Assets, you still have to download the English Assets 226, which will be another 6-7 GB download and potentially some Movies as well. So you can expect long time to download.
The easiest solution would be to just download the game somewhere with a fast Internet, and then copy the SWTOR folder to your computer. If this is not an option, I'm afraid you have to wait for the download to complete, even if it takes a few hours or days.
