Assuming that we have set the boundary correctly and then distributed the content to our DP. Based on my research, many situations may cause this issue. When I try to install the Application or Package from Software Center, it is stuck at Downloading 0 and does not proceed further. We are working under the assumption that you've checked your computer specs against the minimum requirements for this game (or have gotten this game to run on your computer at some point). Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum. Then, restart your computer and trying reinstalling fresh through Steam.įinally, is your brother playing on the same type of Mac? His hardware could be better suited to handle a game like LOTRO. If it's still not working, I would try to uninstall the game completely, then manually delete any related files (I'm not sure of the exact folder locations on a Mac, but I'm sure that information is readily available via google search).

I too have never heard of Steam crashing and deleting a game are you sure that it was actually deleted? It sounds like what is happening is LOTRO is trying to work around files that are already there from the last (failed) install. If you already have/had a copy of the game installed through Steam or otherwise that is only partial or failed for whatever reason, that could be causing your problems. => Solution: i manually removed/reset the TDM in the Firewall and started TurbineRegisterGDF.Firstly, LOTRO updates through its own launcher, not through Steam, so if you were installing something through Steam it must have been a whole new copy of the game. The TDM showed 'Game Queued for Download' but nothing happened => GUESSING: the client is not able to download the patchfiles and for this reason hangs at this point => RESULT: the i run the client it updated 20 files but then got stuck at 'Examine Game Data ( red cross )' -> Unspecified Patch Error I uninstalled the TDM ( but made a backup in another folder before doing it ! ) in Vistas Program Uninstall Panel. => then the TDM realized it needed to update itself and recognized the Mirkwood Update => Solution: i clicked Repair in the TDM at the LOTRO section ( small Arrow -> DropDown Menu ) The TDM reported LOTRO was UpToDate, while the Client reported an error (version outdated)

I took me almost the whole day got the TDM patch download working:
