I successfully downloaded/installed Star Wars: The Old Republic (SW-TOR) and ran it. But, I uninstalled it to try to fix something else. Before I uninstalled it, I made a backup of most of the files in another directory.
Within a day (i.e. no additional release patch between first and second installs), I decided to re-install it with the web installer again. I restored the files I had to the directory to which I installed it, and then ran the client.
It appears that I didn't back up a few essential files because the launcher wants to re-download everything. Unfortunately, I can't select the "Repair" option in the Launcher Settings, either, because it doesn't acknowledge that I've completed a patch download.
Mainly, I want to know how to download only the files I would need.
I would think that the Launcher would detect that I have all of the files for the Assets, Movies, and swtor directories, which constitute over 99% of all of the data I need. But, it doesn't detect this, which leads me to believe that a "Repair" would fix this, except I can't run it.
If indeed I have no other option outside of a Repair, how to I trick the Launcher to enable the Repair option?
FixLauncher.exe
only fixes the Launcher, but not the full repair.
I made a backup of most of the files in another directory.
What didn't you back up? It should work perfectly well if you back up everything, so keep that in mind for the future.
