Hi,
Does the ingame option for “Streaming” set to Max download the whole .dat while I play? Or do I have to remain in the login patcher?
Yes, streaming allows you to download while playing.

The Max and Idle settings will both download the full .dat while you play. The On-Demand setting will only download the parts needed at that time.

In my experience, neither option downloads any data at all in the background. I played for 3 hours on release with a 30 Mbit connection with the setting on max and it downloaded all of…nothing. It made me wait to download new areas several times and I still had over 50,000 files to download in the morning.
