sometimes when i launch the riot client it shows a "Updating" text without displaying any progress bar or file size. Instead it just displays the updating text where the play button should be. this is some what frequent like of i see this today then i might see it again in a couple of days. most of the time it just last a couple of seconds or minutes at max, so i didn't really pay much attention to it until now. earlier today everything was working fine and when tried to play again in the evening out of nowhere this so called "updating" thing started again. Now i did leave it be for a few minutes thinking it will simply go away like last time but this time it doesn't look like that will be the case. It's still showing the updating thing and i can see in task manager that it's eating away my data.

what i tried,

Restarting and trying again (Obviously).

Repairing the files using the built-in repair game files thingy.

Downloaded the installer and tried repairing using it.

Clearing riot client cache folder.

none of those worked. Even when i use the installer as a repair tool, it just show a progress bar saying repairing files and launch the client after it's done and I'm back to square one again.

at this point the only solution i can think of right now is to just leave it to keep updating and hope that it might end some time... hopefully before eating away all my data.

any thoughts? like i don't really know if those micro updates things i have been getting are even normal or it's just my game failing to save/overwrite files.

i mostly play on the Singapore servers if that's something. even though I'm currently living in Sri Lanka and geographically closer to the Mumbai server, the ping is just not the best due to how my ISP has their cables connected directly to SG..

update: I'm gonna just try letting it sit there for a hour or two. And if it uses more than 10Gigs I'm gonna try doing a fresh install.

Good news, Deleted a bunch if temporary, cache, manifest files multiple times and now shit's working.Good news, Deleted a bunch if temporary, cache, manifest files multiple times and now shit's working.
