Thread: Stuck on Examine Game Data

Im using windows xp sp3 and have problem when i start steam and game get X with examine game data.

Please help

Try downloading directly for this site.

But if you are on a comp still using XP I think you are going to run in to more problems then just this.

- “My Launcher gets stuck on 'Examine Programs' or 'Update Programs' or gets stuck on 'Examine Game Data' or 'Update Game Data'."

SYMPTOMS: The game launcher gets to the “Examine Programs”/"Update Programs" step or “Examine Game Data”/"Update Game Data" and stops there.

SOLUTION: This typically can have a few causes, and depending on which stage it gets stuck on can help determine the cause. The "Examine" steps are when the launcher is trying to compare the files you have versus what ones are the current and determine if you need to patch. Getting stuck there is generally connection related where as if it is getting stuck at an "Update" stage while that can be connection based as well (if the launcher cannot connect to download the patched files) it can also be permissions related since the game launcher needs "administrator" level access to be able to update files, in that instance see the link here for more info on the common causes of patching issues.

If you typically use a browser other than Internet Explorer to access the Internet, make sure
that IE works properly and can reach the forums. LOTRO uses the network settings created
by IE to make its connection.

Although you downloaded the game with Steam, you don't have to launch it with Steam, you
can simply go to the folder where LOTRO is installed and double-click TurbineLauncher.exe
(or create a shortcut to that from the desktop). Just another option.

XP is not an issue here - LOTRO is a 32-bit-native game and if anything, XP is likely to give
a new user less grief in setup than Win7, particularly when it comes to .NET.
