I'm guessing you don't realize that this client does the same thing anyways but doesn't rely on getting it from other users. It does a hash of the file downloaded, and a hash of the patched file after the download.

His computer is writing these files wrong and the hash is fucking up. Improving the patcher would not fix the fact that his computer is shitting bricks during the patching process.

i would agree if was a random file every time, not the same file. (from what i read in the swtor forum)
he can try to copy the whole game on another partition, and i bet that the same file will have that problem.
in case of ram/hdd problems, files are affected randomly.

bored at work, really slow day here, 1 more h until i can get home, and this is an interesting problem.
if i was affected by this, i would ask a friend to make me a torrent with the whole patched game,in one archive, and until i got it, i would run a mem/hdd diag on my computer, reset bios at default and i would let just one stick of 4 GB ram on mb (i got 4 ). i dont trust http/ftp protocols in this particular case.
torrent complete, extract files, md5 comparing with my friend working copy. if md5 are the same, and launcher still is doing moronic stuff, i would extract the files on my virtual machine (another hdd), again with md5 checking. same if the md5 are different, i would extract the files on my virtual machine.

if after this i would still be unable to launch the game, i would bitch on swtor forum. even if my machine is probably the cause Smile.
if md5 are different, the case is clear.

his friend can simply make a rar archive with a sfv file , and he extract it on his pc. Same thing, but easier ^^.

So you prevented your computer from having to work hard and patching files, and just manually replaced the full things.

Yes - This works.

However, this doesn't change the fact that your PC is still fucked up, and the next time you goto patch it will likely fail again because your PC is shitting bricks when it is doing heavy read/write to the disk.

I think you mean "kilo-bytes," there. There's 8192 "kilo-bits" in a "mega-byte." Although you'd still be wrong, as there's 1024 "kilo-bytes" in a "mega-byte." You're thinking perhaps of the proposed value of a megabyte versus a mebibyte, but I'm not here to argue that distinction.

It's possible the problem was caused by: a firewall/internet security suite, anti-virus/anti-spyware/anti-malware, or peerblock/ipfilter. SWTOR's launcher seems to have issues with my peerblock and ipfilter sometimes despite the fact I make sure to add EA's IP's to my allow lists, its protocols just seem sensitive to any sort of control. Hell, the game is less stable if I tend to leave uTorrent running. That's not excusing it from being their fault - just mentioning one possible cause.

Yay! again down, third time in the last 2 weeks. It's more down than you can actually play.

Anyway i don't care since i can't use my fleetpass till 1pm anyway, i was stuck at the final stage to kill the emperor. I used the medical station so you can repair your stuff, but you get spawned behind a forcefield you actually need to unlock before you enter (nice going bioware)

The shield i am talking about


The objective map


The medical station i got behind the forcefield
