  2. Enable your PC Network card.
  3. Press Stop in the Launcher.
  4. Press Start in the Launcher.
  5. Wait for the download to finish, then Verify the files.
  • On the options cog, disable P2P.
  • Disable your antivirus. Confirmed list of antivirus that block StarCitizen Launcher:
    • Avast Antivirus
  • Change the file %Star Citizen install dir%/Patcher/PatcherState -> Open in editor as Administrator. Change "downloadMethod =" from "Torrent" to "HTTP". Will disable incremental patching.

If none of this works, you might find success with a third-party downloader such as this one.
