# Launcher Update Reliability (4.1.9)

## What's New in 4.1.9
- **Stable downloads**: fixes for large downloads disconnecting early ("curl 18" and unpack errors).
- **Stale lock cleanup**: aborted downloads no longer leave a lock file that blocks retries or **Check Client**.
- **Faster verification**: updates use direct binary indexing instead of unpacking loose files.
- **Auto-recovery**: after a network drop the launcher stops lingering tasks, cleans temporary files and retries.

## How to Update
1. Start the launcher; it checks for launcher and game updates automatically.
2. If an update was stuck, click **Check Client** (bottom left). Locks are cleared and downloads resume.
3. When the bar reaches 100% and shows **Asset synchronization complete**, **Play** unlocks.

## FAQ and Known Details
**"shallow.lock: File exists"?** Update the launcher and click **Check Client**.

**Do I redownload everything?** No, only missing or incomplete files.

**Still stuck?** Open a ticket in the SWG Secura Discord or the BetaHub tracker and include your launcher logs.
