Every SOE patch we get the 96% Is this just the login server crashing from everyone trying to log on at the same time?
It's been hours since all servers did go live again. There shouldn't be such an overload on the login servers.
It worked, verify your game files! (if you don't know how, open the launcher, it's the wrench on the bottom left hand corner above the download bar)
i got the 96% stuck too, I used the steam overlay to look for this post and I got a runtime error. hope this helps.
Like others, I've gotten this many times in the past as well as with this latest patch. The only thing that seems to reliably work for me is to reboot my PC. I've tried many things, but the issue goes away immediately after a reboot. It makes me wonder if occasionally some of the files updated cause a conflict with my firewall. I was able to finally log in (took me 5-10 minutes of waiting), but now I'm not getting my membership credit for passive certs. I got full credit logging into my first character, but got no membership bonus on the second.
It is validate game assets right? Because I have done that like 4 times and it says everything is up to date but still can't get past 96%
If you don't want to reboot here is what you do: Disable your network adapter and re-enable it. Worked for me, still takes forever to actually log into a character but it will eventually
