[Solved] I can't get lotro to work on Opensuse Tumbleweed
-
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 give this a try.

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.

Tried running it in Bottles? That's usually my go-to for games that I can't get to work.

I'm running lotro via Lutris happily on Mint. Your case sounds like a permission problem somewhere as the launcher works.
This is farfetched I know but try a nuclear option and use another distro to install lotro via Lutris to a shared mount and then mount & run it from there in your distro.

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/

yep, Lotro via lutris is the best way.
Steam via proton a close second.
