Thanks for your response @Raidell .. And regarding the repair tool. If it says that it just has one movie file to repair, do you think it's true or does the repair utility tend to overlook missing assets at times? Like I said, I just switched from BR to SSN. I also remember you saying that the repair tool scans folders in a particular order. So if it had to find any missing or corrupted files in the Assets folder, it would've done so in the very first scan, correct?
Another mystery is why BR was showing only a progress of 33% whereas SSN repair tool thinks that only a 525 MB movie is to be downloaded. Anyway, I won't argue with success and if what the repair tool says is in fact true, I'm happy but I guess both BR and SSN are not consistent with each other...
Pick one method of patching and let it finish without any further changes
If your back to SSN and it finishes ok this time then all good, in the end a clean install may end up being quicker and simpler if the current install is stuffed.
As suspected, after finishing the 525 MB movie file, the SSN repair tool started downloading the 11.6 GB Main Assets file. I wanted to see what impact the completion of the movie file has on the BR progress. Before downloading the movie file, it was 33% and surprisingly even after the movie file finished, it was still 33% (again I have no idea why).
However I think I'll stick with BR till the end and hopefully there'll be no more downloading for a while !
Ok so it seems I have downloaded enough to play in the initial planets. BR says the game is ready to play, but it is still downloading more files (about 51% is done). How much additional download is pending and should I start playing or wait?
Up to you if you want to play on the starter planets , but you wont be able to go elsewhere until at 100%
If its at 51% I would imagine there is still a fair bit of download left likely 10GB minimum
10 GB huh? I guess I'll start playing... Thanks 🙂
