Problems with patch installer a<nd huge download

Nidhogg

Hello,
I recently bought this game, the physical copy since I have a limit on my data at home. I installed the game, first got a patch of about 10gb (which is alot, but fine), then another one at 4gb, some 5-10 smaller patches of 40-50mb (didnt count how many), and then ANOTHER huge patch at 40gb!!
Since I dont have 40gb left to download this month, I can play the game I bought.
This is ***, I already installed the game from four (4!!) discs, installed some 14gb of patches, I should be able to play it by now.
So I just purchased a game and set up an subscription to a game that i won´t be able to play in 2½ weeks.
Yippee.

I found some topics regarding this and some solutions, and I have tried repairing, copy and deleting and do a new install and copy back, the smallest size it wants to download now is 28gb, which is still way, WAY too much for a game that comes on cd´s. Might as well print on the cover "throw away discs before use"..

Is there ANY solution to this other then repairing, or is it really so that it requires 44gb+ to be downloaded before I can start playing?
One solution would be to download the game at my sisters place where they have fiber, but I cant find a download for the full game.
Is there a torrent file which contains the whole game I can download?

Hey there @Nidhogg,

We do apologize for the frustration you're running into with the launcher, and hope to be able to help,

There isn't a torrent for the game files as they are constantly being updating via the game's launcher. That said, you can download the launcher directly from our website and do a full installation from there at your sister's place. Simply head here, log in with your account credentials, and select "Download PC Client" or "Download Mac Client" based on your machine on the right side of the screen.

From there, allow the launcher to run and the installation should complete. It should be noted that Patch 1.4 is being released today, which is a major update, so you should wait for the maintenance to be completed prior to installing the title so you get the whole thing. Updates on the status of the maintenance can be found at the top of this page.

Thanks for your patience, we hope this helps!

Sadly the previous updates are huge. Here is another topic of someone having the same issues as you:

There is another update coming out today that is around 6 GB when they release it.
