Decidion Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I bet I know the problem...and I've seen it before on other systems. Some Dev screwed up the versioning number and the system keeps downloading what it thinks is the current version, but is actually marked an older version. This then causes the download to re-initiate automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post JackieKo Posted October 7, 2021 Dev Post Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hi everyone, Thank you for your patience as we investigated this issue. It has been resolved, however, please note that players who have downloaded or started to download the patch will have to re-download the game in its entirety. Those who have not patched should be able to log in and play the game as normal. We apologize for the inconvenience to the impacted players.

The resolution is if you tried to play the game you're screwed? That's pretty lame. I don't expect compensation but like, big yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jephryp Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Does this mean I have to delete and reinstall?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllieAnne Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I least we got a "We're sorry we screwed you over." That's more than I expected. I was thinking more of, "We fixed it. Again you get the excellent service you pay for." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adistoy Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) An apology, this is not good enough, and you are told that you have to re-install the game? Time wasted and resetting everything in the game, it is so simple for them to just "apologize", and it doesn't tell you if you have to completely delete the game or keep trying the launcher.....

thefishdude Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Does this mean I have to delete and reinstall?? yup....just deleted the game and going through the long process of reinstalling. I have crazy fast download (over 400 mb/s), but the Swtor installer only goes at 8.6 mb/s. Good times.....good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between this instance and the one in Mid-June, that's the second time players have been forced to reinstall the game out of nowhere this year. Maybe it's time for some compensation? A free RPM or OEM? A modest amount of cartel coins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysticle Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Is there a way to save your settings and there is no way to repair this instead of re-install? you would think they would come up with an easier solution than hey just go reinstall over 50gigs of game.

olagatonjedi Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The Launcher isn't even letting me log in. Is this related to all of the other issues as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakotajon Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Well, no longer downloading Main Assets 1. Now downloading Main Assets 351, which is 30 GB. At least progress is being made. As others have noted, what's up with the 8.3 MB download speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
