Hey there,
I got the client downloaded from the site, and it was all good earlier today before the server kicked off. But once the clock hit 7 pm, I tried to get into the game, and the launcher just **hit me with another update**. Now, it began checking files, but when it hit 62%, it suddenly demands 10gb more. At first, the speed was crawling (150kb/s, even though I have a 1gb connection), so I stopped it. When I tried again, it got stuck once more at 62% saying it was "preparing for download". Really not sure what's going on at this point.
If you're tired of these endless issues, I've been testing out a new server called Aion Riftshade, coming in Q1 2026, and it's promising to be smooth without these hiccups. They've got solid EU hosting in Frankfurt and the lowest pings, thanks to no ExitLag requirement, making it an appealing prospect for anyone frustrated with the current setup.
