Why don't they just put all the patches into the installation file to avoid this problem? They've had it for over two years now, you'd think they'd have the sense to fix it.
And by fix it, I mean have enough sense to update the site with a new installation file every time you update the game so this problem doesn't exist. It wouldn't take that long, especially if it were done like it is supposed to be. I've got a rather decent connection, with 300 kb/s, and I've been downloading and installing this game for 3 days now. This is ridiculous.
However, I'm excited about the game and I will give you this: it looks amazing. Once it downloads I'll calm down.
