    Hey guys! We just published a fix for this issue. Please close the launcher, re-open, then run a repair for PTS. This should do the trick, but let us know if you're still running into the same problem. Thanks!

    Seems to be working now, thanks for the fix.

    @TerraPython @ZOS_GinaBruno Same issue. the first thing i tried when it showed the CONTENT WRITE FAIL error message was to close the launcher, reopen it and try to do REPAIR, but the REPAIR option doesn't appear.

    I will uninstall the PTS and start over. Will update what happens :)

    A fix for this went out yesterday. Are you hitting that same error message, or have you not downloaded yet?

    Hey, @ZOS_GinaBruno, how would we run a repair if it never completed the download? Sorry if I'm being pedantic here, but the problem was that the download would not complete. Or are you saying that's fixed too?

    I just started mine back up so right now it's busy verifying. I guess I'll find out in a couple dozen gigabytes.

    EDIT: Ok, I'm now at 67% so if it did not all download before, just start it up again. Thanks!

    Also, any idea why the download speed is so slow? Do you guys have it throttled at your end? I'm only getting 2.8MB/s though my internet connection is much faster than that. Besides, game patches download MUCH faster than this so obviously something is different.

    If I may ask, where is the server from which we download PTS located? I ask because I am just south of Austin, TX, so if it is there (as I understand the NA server is) then there is unlikely to be any bottleneck between that server and me.

    And yes, I know that physical proximity is not the same as network proximity, but in the real world they are usually related. If I were in e.g. Australia the signal would have to be routed through a lot more nodes and thus there would be a lot higher chance that one or more of them would be a bottleneck.

    Success! I did a clean download again of PTS a few hours ago. Took ~3 hours & went smooth. I have full access.

    Thank you,
    @ZOS_GinaBruno ! :smiley:

    PS: @ContraTempo My download speeds were ~7.5MB/s but I did it when most of my neighbors were asleep so low traffic on the network.
