The launcher gets stuck at 88% patching dat files and then it fails. I have tried different solutions I’ve read such as: using steam launcher, using standalone launcher trought lutris, using repair data option; I have tried deleting dat/datx files, deleting “downloads” and “forward” directories, limiting download speed of the game, changing game proxy option; I have tried diferrent versions of proton, protonge, wine. Nothing works. Please help me.

Update: Lotro launcher works if I use a VPN. Thank you all for helping me.

      Maybe try spinning up a windows vm. Install lotro and patch it. Then copy the game files over into the lotro linux install directory. Basically bypass the update process and see what happens.

          I found out the launcher doesn’t fail when using a VPN. I guess is some kind of problem with my ISP and not a compatibility issue. Thank you for your help.

          Sounds like it’s more of a problem with the software in general vs running it on Linux.

          Could see if someone else was successful installing and get a copy of their files but that comes with is own risk.

          There was something I read about the process stalling on windows and being told to hit resume but never seen windows like that on any version of windows I ever used. https://forums.lotro.com/index.php?threads/stuck-at-88-dat-patch-in-launcher.10223/
