Well, i'm having the same problem here, and i'm thinking about testing the "Repair" option of the game launcher, but i'm not sure if that's going to work, or if it will just get stuck again...

- Make sure you are running the game as Administrator or account with administrator rights.

- If your DDO client is stuck while patching on a .dat or .datx =
1 Navigate to your DDO installation folder .
2 Delete all files in this folder with a dat or datx file type. They will all end in .dat or .datx
3 Restart the DDO launcher and the application should repair itself."

If you’re not getting an error message then it might not be stuck. Every percentage doesn’t go by at the same speed. It’s not a timer. It’s like pouring water from one cup to another, sometimes the water moves in different amounts.

Well, deleting the client_gamelogic.dat file and hoping that it would be fixed was a bust... a new version of that file was downloaded alright, but then the update got stuck on it again.

Looks like i have to use the "Repair" option and download the whole bloody game. What the heck have they changed in this damn update that broke the game launcher?

ive found that just hitting the top right x and then reopening the loader and letting it go again (not repairing) and leaving it alone and going to sleep it will actually install fully, ive notice sitting and waiting when it looks stuck isnt good. cause it might not actually be stuck even though it shows as such. it will look like its not downloading at times but if you leave it downloading over night you should have better luck if any of this makes sense

If it’s not stuck you might be able to mouse over it and get more info about what it’s doing and how much is left.

Edit: But this can depend perhaps on OS UI settings.

Well, i tried that twice, started the download before goingt to sleep, but in the morning it looked like the download stopped somewhere during the night, and when i restart the game launcher it's the same problem again.
I'll just give the Repair option a go tonight, can't get any worse then it is right now...

Well you’ve caught my interest. Can you give more specifics?

What OS?

Are you getting any error messages?

Have you tried other things than what you’ve already posted? If so, what?

You mentioned the update. Why? Did you have the game installed before and working?

starting game launcher through Steam
- applying 3154 forward iterations
- downloading file 1 of 3010 (xyz bytes / zyx bytes)
game launcher freezes, while it looks like it still is downloading something, rinse and repeat when i restart the game launcher after it stops downloading.

Win10

no, not a single error message is showing, the game launcher freezes, and the downloading simply stops at some point later

restarting Steam, restarting PC

yes, i could play (and of course update...) just fine before the 15th anniversary update

today is another update incoming, may be that will shake something lose...

It’s...possible.

I have some things for you to try at the bottom of this.

This is a difficult problem because I have no way to see what’s going wrong when the launcher gets to that file.

Right now, it’s sounding to me like the problem is DNS related. It seems likely to me that it’s a complex issue not necessarily even related to the update or that file specifically, other than the fact that the something seems to be going wrong at that step in the launcher. I was going to add more steps due to the potential complexity and not knowing the cause.

But that would take considerably more time than I can tonight, might not be fruitful, and it’s possible it could resolve itself in time as you’ve suggested so for now I’ll just post something simple:

1. Flush your DNS. You can find how to do this for Windows 10 by searching online. It’s quick and easy to do.

2. In between step 3 below, while that stuff is shutdown, restart your computer.

3. Do a shutdown and restart of all internet hardware, ie. modem and router that you use to connect your computer to the internet. By that, I mean a full shutdown. Turn off the power to it or AND unplug it.

Well, the latest update didn't help either... i started the "repair" option - more like a delete everything and then reinstall it - but that is suffering from a similar problem now, the launcher seems to freeze up while the download continues for a while and then just stops.

I allready tried the DNS flush, PC and modem restart, and it's still the same... besides, why do i have to jump through all these hoops suddenly, when it ran just fine before?

What really bothers me is, after they had their big Covid-19 promotion, i bought a good amount of points for classes/races to support the game, and i'm now locked out of it.

Bloody 15th anniversary update...
