Today whenever I launch bisq, after entering password, it doesn’t get passed the launch screen. It shows that it’s synced with bitcoin mainnet, shows the block and fee rate, says 3/4 hidden service published, 6 bitcoin peers and 8 bisq peers but doesn’t show the bisq interface.
What is the problem? Is it the 3/4 hidden service published? What can I do?
Thank you.

Usual remedies are restarting, or deleting the contents of the “tor” folder in the data directory, except the hiddenservice folder which you need to keep. Try one or both

Restarting already tried. Deleting the tor folder except hiddenservice folder did it now and didn’t solve
It’s this folder, right?
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Bisq\btc_mainnet\tor
No luck

for what it’s worth, I am experiencing this issue too, I connect to my own bitcoin node and still I see it hanging at 3/4 for a much longer time than expected

I’ve managed to make it occasionally work with your solution. But not always… Also, been having issues with having less than 4 bitcoin network peers most of the time (usually just 2 or 3)…

blame it on whoever is ddosing tor
you can disable tor for bitcoin nodes under settings > network, but then your connection wouldn’t be private anymore
