Re: Stuck in endless update cycle

I probably wasn't clear. I didn't mean that I could play right away after restoring the client to previous version. I let the old client patch up the game (The reference to low speed was actually to the old patcher download speed). After it patched the game, I could finally play.

As a side note, the download speed was fluctuating from ridiculous 40kb/s to 13mb/s on a 100 line. Oh and I didn't see Bitraider in Processes. Might have something to do with a fact that I have the game since launch and successive patches might have messed something out.

At first I though swtor unleashed messed things up, then I though maybe files are read only, I made sure that both directories, all three exe files and processes are in exception in (Windows) firewall and in antivirus (MS Security Essentials). Gave up and was about to made a clean reinstall (6 x 8gigs for nothing)...

I hope I'll be able to run the game tomorrow. :/

I keep sticking at 85% install on the main assets 214 installation.  I've been working on it all day and still can't get it to work.  I've tried everything I could think of, I've rebooted my computer at least 50 times today, tried safe mode, tried running launcher as administrator, tried re-downloading the patch and trying again.  Nothing I have tried works, it still keeps sticking at 85%.  Been playing this game since launch and this is the first time I have ever had this much trouble with an update.  It's ridiculous.

Well it appears I have all the PC's in the house updated...

Mine corrected the endless patching by simply doing what I recommended this morning..

Revalidate my firewall exclusions, and let the mess repair itself... (using the repair tools/guides)

Took some time granted because on 'this' machine I do not have bitraider or streaming enabled... but it got there in the end using the simple formula...

@col_Sowelu_Gille

If using SWTOR unleashed , when ever patching it has to be in Retail mode or selected as remove and quit , or patching fails

Did Remove and Quit prior to patching.

Also tried Retail after 2nd failed cycle.

Fix Launcher fixed it for me. I am still a bit scared that after the game decides to update my launcher to the new version I'll be screwed again, but I am not willing to put that to a test. 🙂
