Technical diffuculties
the game just finished installing. on the launch page it will not let me start the game until it finishes performing updates and dowloading. evertime it finishes it goes back to 0% and starts over. i am so confused. its been doing this for hours

That's normal, it will keep upgrading till it gets to Version 4.0.8.2503.

Depending on which client you downloaded it will take quite some time to finish all the updates. Just be patient and take a break while it does its thing. Sometimes it may look like it is hanging but some of the files are rather large and take some time to completely download. After the updates are finished defragment your hard drive to put all of the RoM files in order and to avoid any problems that you might experience with them not biegn where RoM thinks they are. By defraging your hard drive it will help to alleviate some of the lag issues and loading issues that plague a lot of players.
Thanks a ton. i was getting really frustrated i really appriciate it
