BubbaORiley Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I seem to stall at 'Installing Assets 338'. ... at 70%. Is this the same issue everyone is having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncnative Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 8 yr vet here...Thnx all fer posting...None of the fixes worked fer me, until i additionally changed the Compatibility of the 2 swtor.exe files listed in task manager, details header. Both to XP sp3 mode. Furthermore, i ran an older preferred account, which worked w/o problems. Then i exited out. Ran my Subscriber account. Now everything works great! So i changed the mode of 3 files, Rebooted the game, and ran a preferred old acct to make sure. Now my Subscription acct works again. Now way would i re-install.

MalachaiXero Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 On some PCs, changing compatibility breaks other things or causes a degradation of sorts. I noticed weird choppiness on mine that wasn't here before. If you edit your launcher, what you're essentially doing is disabling BitRaider, which then makes you download the streaming portion of the game, which is the Asset 338 folder. That's why it's a 2 hour download. The best fix for me was to disable bitraider, take the download hit, and not worry about that mess anymore. That being said, instead, I just uninstalled and reinstalled via steam. Steam has no BitRaider, so no worries anymore. So if you have to make a fix, do it the steam way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, others are having to do the 2 hour download/repair every single time they want to play. In my book, compatibility mode is still much better even with choppiness. Just my 2 credits on that Edited December 12, 2020 by JeramieCrowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratatooey Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I tried the workarounds, nothing worked. I then reinstalled the software and everything is fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oathsworn Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Crazy thought - but, given the nature of Quick Play and it being related to starting planets vs. the rest of the game content, and given the number of times I've seen people mention this bug resurfacing with new patches in the past, I'm wondering if this bug could be related to a player having a character on one of the four starter planets when a big patch is deployed (in this case, 6.2). This is the first time I've run into the Quick Play bug, and I happened to have recently started a new jedi who was parked on Tython when the update hit. Anyone else impacted by this bug able to quickly confirm they had zero characters on a starter planet when 6.2 deployed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzazelJOD Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 So I have the same problem but if I restart my computer and I log on it works then if I quit and try to go back in for a second time it doesn’t work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitius Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Also having the same issue for the first time, English version. I tried the Bitraider delete solution several times to no avail. Glad I am not the only one and hope it's solved soon; I miss playing! EDIT: Can confirm compatibility mode worked correctly!

LordEquinos Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) FIX THIS!!!! don't want to: use tricks, re-download the entire game, delete files at every time we log-in, edit anything with notepad.

JUST, FIX, THIS!! I agree - when I pay for a subscription I expect to be able to play the game I'm paying for. This bitraider problem has been going on for a long time, and it should have been addressed by now. I'm not doing any kludges or workarounds, and I'll only do a re-install if I absolutely have to.

Actually, it's been working for about 90% of those posting here and in BioWare's post where this was suggested. I mean, if you'd rather try the long download/repair first, be my guest.

wikidbonez Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I know I'm not the only one experiencing this; but since the update on 12/15/20, my game has refused to download past "Quick Play Mode." I'll sit there for several minutes and watch the progress bar move not a picometer. It's infuriating, and you don't want a Sith Lord to get infuriated.

AxlorBitter Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 What the title says. I patched, and I'm at character selection and my characters are available because the game is "downloading" but the bar is stuck on 0.00%. It's doing it again.

Tylel Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Do this it does work and fixed the issue 06.25.2020 , 03:08 PM | #4 REPORT POST QUOTE FIXED -- error in launcher config file After experiencing the same issue (characters not available for play after latest update), I've been able to resolve the matter by fixing - of all things - a spelling error in the SWTOR launcher configuration file. In my case, it had to do with the BitRaider app apparently not handling the update properly due to, as it seems, a simple spelling error in the 'launcher.settings' file. This file is located in the main game directory ('\Program Files (x86)\Star Wars-The Old Republic' for me). Close the game, then open the launcher.settings file in Notepad. Look for the following line: , "bitraider_disable": false and change this to , "bitraider_disable": "false" So yes, just add 2 parentheses like in the other lines. After this change, the following happened for me: - After starting the launcher, the game started to update again, re-downloading some 320 items, including most of the 'Asset' folder (around 25 GB?). - It reported an error with 66 of the files, and prompted me to press 'Repair'. Which I did. - Lengthy repair procedure - I pressed 'Play' again, and was greeted by a server selection screen, followed by the character selection screen with all chars available for play. Tested & worked. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
