LoL Patcher has scanned 8000+ files and won't stop?

Exact same issue im having. I got home from school and wanted to play with some friends but as I am 10,000 files and counting in this patch I have been unable to play for about an hour now. My friends get their client patched in about 3 minutes but mine is the only one that does this 1 hour long file scan but the patch download/install takes 2 minutes for me.

I'm having the same problem. I've been stuck on 3 files for at least 30mins now. I don't see how this is taking so long.

even tried repairing and its still scanning after it finishes repairing

after i repaired it scanned a few thousand files and patched woot

Same problem. This is ridiculous :/

Same problem... game was fine, I closed it and then went to open again and now this... ridiculous.

i also have this problem about fuking one hour, it scaned more than 1,0000

Well....it happens to me sometimes..i scanned 10000+ files...

Mine was at 33% with over 30k scanned files.

me too. I am on 19888 over :3

I have the EXACT same problem! I am not able to play and can only wait for it to download even more files. Even though it won't move from the 33%. Riot should REALLY fix this, I just want to play a friggin game :(

yeah just think you guys have been waiting for what 30 minutes try 4hours and 28,000 files scanned someone please help me someone

Im having the same problem stuck at 33% and scanned countless file can someone help me?

So what's the answer? How do we fix?

This Is what I did to fix it

Close out of your patcher and go to C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_game_client\filearchive and delete the filearchive folder. Start your patcher again, wait a bit and it should start updating and go above the 33% .
