[Salfix]

I was playing the game with no proplem 2 days ago and yesterday 10 mb update came after 10 mb update is done it didnt open and stuck at checking for new content. Please help 😞

If I wait at checking for new content screen long enough it says "Update failed! Please try again later. The update will be restarted shortly…". is there anybody before encounter this problem and solved it ?

this happened to me like , 3 days ago and it goes like this 
 - so i booted the game normally , 10 mb update finished it , and got into the game , i was setting up my mods and stuff and then for some reason i got a blue screen and my pc crashed , then i rebooted my pc and launched warframe , and it comes to this ; am stuck at "checking for new content"

   now , what i suspected was that the files got corrupted , but thats not the case , since i did both " verifying download cache" (wich also gets stuck btwand i left it for like , 6 hours and nothing happened) and i also tried reinstalling the whole thing and still stuck on the checking for new content , so no , its not bcz the files got corrupted
   so , after looking into the internet , ppl that had this problem were all saying the same things ; -its either u reboot the launcher(doesnt work)  -enable warframe in the firewall(doesnt work) -reinstall(doesnt work) therefore i thought to myself maybe its bcz of my computer since all the complaints about this error were old , but only to find out that others still get this problem after updates even lately just like u , am still trying to find a solution , i just hope this gets fixed

I was in another city not in my home and internet was awful. I did come back home in Thursday and when I open the launcher it did download 2 mb after that problem was solved 🙂 I think problem is from internet. I did read that people are using vpn to solve this problem but I didnt try that. I hope you can solve your problem too.

heh nvm i fixed it , it was my fault apparently , when i reinstalled warframe i forgotto remove the whole folder in "appdata" so some corrupted files remained there , so i reinstalled it today and it works fine

my specific situation
*never faced this problem before
*started after sister of parvos update
*no changes to pc, no driver updates
*happens randomly, one day it'll work, then get stuck in launcher, then randomly work again
*updates to game doesn't change anything
*reinstalling temporarily fixes it, but it randomly pops up again

the issue itself
*basically the launcher doesn't seem to use the disk at all when checking if it needs to update anything, seen in task manager disk usage

the fix
*obviously it may vary for everyone, BUT for me I've consistently managed to get it running again after doing a disk defragment on c (windows installation) drive
*i don't know why that works, steam library isn't even in that folder

It is best not to defragment a drive if it is a SSD(Solid State Drive). Just google it.

Are you sure you tried to optimize and verify trough the launcher?
