Verifying Download Cache Stuck after recent Mainline update

[Damjel]

So basically this is my first post on the forums just because of this.. When the update dropped, Immediately updated the launcher. everything went smooth. decided to click "optimize" from the launcher settings, just to have a clean run through the new fixes of the patch, now it got stuck 22% verifying download cache. on the first instance i left it around 3hrs cause maybe just maybe, then decided to close it and re-run the launcher. now its been more than 10 hours, and its still stuck, anyone got a work around on this? anyone else experiencing this?  I run it through steam. The last optimize/verify I did was when frame fighter dropped. and everything went fine.


EDIT: yes I cant play the game cause every time the launcher starts. it priorities verifying before anything else.
