My launcher is sat there not doing anything other than showing an empty update bar.. no indication of anything happening. I have 76Mb fibre-optic broadband in UK. Have never had trouble downloading patches before. Is this a known issue or...?
Yeah. But I've no intentions of fully reinstalling the game and downloading the full 16 gig again because the download server won't talk to me! You might have a 76gig line to your house - but i don't
only 7.7 gigs. Might be as easy as reinstalling the launcher and just repoint it at the game files. I did notice before I wiped that when you clicked on open game directory or uninstall nothing happens.
this post may help you. My Station Launcher was fixed by deleting my launcher cache, unfortunately I have to delete it before every launch now. http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/launcher-not-validating.103201/#post-1377374
Just re-installing the launcher from the PS2 site over my pre-installed PS2 sorted this issue for me.
