Launcher stuck - installing main assets 234 at 5%

[nightgard]

Hi,

I my launcher is stuck at 5%, says "Installing main assets 234" (the file in the main directory says assets_swtor_main_232to233) if it's of any help.

It doesn't just stop the launcher, it slows my computer terribly.
In the task manager the performances and RAM are not high but I can't even load an internet page or go through files, I have to kill the process (even opening the task manager takes around 1min). 

so , any idea please ? 

Thank you.

It isnt showing what file it is borking on unfortunately

if you right mouse click on the asset folder and then select properties , on the previous version tab is there a backup of this folder you can restore too ?

I hate to say this , it may be less stressful to delete the asset folder and re-download the game files

See if this helps

Close the launcher and reboot the PC then right mouse click on the game shortcut and select open file location

delete the below if found

- "Patch" folder
- "Patcher_-1toXX" or similar folders
- "assets_swtor_XXX_XXX" or similar folders (do not delete the folder named "Assets")

Now close as many programs you have running in the background including Anti virus

Run the launcher repair utility here over the top of that install

Thanks for the answer.

It didn't work though, it downloaded the assets again and got stuck at the same point after.

background applications were off and anti-virus too.

In the game folder is a log folder can you post the latest launcher log 

can try and identify which file this is getting bogged down with , other then that deleting the asset folder will likely help but doing that means installing 99% of the game again.

Here's the log

It's ending on :

"2016-04-08 23:40:37 INFO ManifestState=Patch: assets_swtor_main, current=232/upcoming=-1/required=234"

So that damn 234 is missing, right ? 

Yeah I guess I'll have to re-download everything. The last version of assets I have was yesterday and it doesn't fix anything. 
Always nice to get a fresh installation every now and then I suppose.

My fear is that it won't fix the problem :/

@nightgard

234 wont be missing it is borking on something prior 

I have seen this sort of behavior before and it is lets say painful to look for

Fresh Install is less stressful just a bit of time involved, if issues persist post back

[nightgard]

So, I deleted the Assets main folder.

But the launcher keep downloading and installing 234 first. 

So I deleted the 30Go folder but It is still blocking at 5% , installing 234.


I tried to uninstall the game entirely, can't find the software in windows control panel or even Ccleaner uninstall tool. 



Should I just take the entire main folder of the game and trash it then redownload the patcher and all ?
