I had yet to update the game here on my comp since Tuesday, now that I have tried, it gets to 3%, the update stops downloading, and it freezes the launcher, then my computer. Is there a way around this? How can I get this to work?
The launcher/updater doesn’t seem very well written and sometimes causes more CPU load than the game itself. Its update speed was actually CPU limited on my previous system; it wasn’t waiting for network I/O, the network I/O was waiting for it. Maybe its crazy CPU load is hitting the limits of a slightly broken PSU, CPU, cooler or whatever.
Anyways, no matter how badly it behaves, a game (or any userspace application) really shouldn’t have the means to completely freeze or crash your system. Post some specs, temperatures, etc.
