The -nopatchui fix appears to be a functioning workaround for me. I am running multiple instances in the same house as well, however only 1 is having this trouble. Hoping a fix is coming soon, though thankfully I only have to maintain 1 PC with this workaround.
I have to agree though – an update would be nice. At least let us know if we should give up trying for now and try again later or if a fix will be coming soon :-(
Still no fix? I can’t even get the Launcher to open correctly half the time and when it does it crashes before I can attempt anything. I actually managed to get some download rolling of the patch at one point, but it froze somewhere around 8%.
