It took about 5-7 tries for me but basically closing the launcher, and end tasking launcher.exe *32 in taskmanager seems to have resolved the issue fortunately in my case it was bombing out after downloading and applying 1 patch file in most cases. one note is if it seems like updating hangs at 99% just step away for a minute and don't rush it. after it updated everything its now sitting with the play button active

well I was working on my second sith warrior char (I am a heavy and self confessed altoholic) so I already have 2 sith warrior and 2 jedi knights even though my highest char is only 25. with that said my marauder is going "practical evil" by that I mean my char is not going out of the way to be a jerk, and is willing to take a bit of heat to do what my char believes is the best thing to do. (I caught a LOT of flack on my marauder on the black talon flashpoint, from a player that believed killing the captain got you more lootz) when I chose to let the captain live, because even though he DID disobey orders, his justification made more sense than the warlords punitive ordering us to hijack the ship.

don't get me wrong there are a lot of aspects that I like and some that really bug me as a star wars fan the ones that have jumped out at me the "empire cap ships and shuttles" showing definatel links to equipment that was NEW designs for the galactic empire troops whos armor looks an awful lot like storm trooper /clone trooper gear the same manufactures around that are around in the ANH era (I get really suspicious when corrilian enterprises is still making ships after ~4000 years or more?
