I'm thinking there's something wrong with my installation, configuration, or something... I start the patcher and it takes up to five minutes just to start patching. Like most of us, I have a real life, and when I want to relax and play, waiting ten to fifteen minutes doesn't work. I don't want to have to think about it a half hour ahead of time just to be sure its ready. I've come to terms with the download speed... Zenimax is just not going to pay for the extra bandwidth. But the extra time just to start it has to be a bug somewhere. Is there a fix for this?

    As stated in this post:
    Run as administrator
    Review your proxy settings (as instructed in the link)
    Add firewall exceptions
    Open ports on your router

    What I personally do (I live in Europe). The day after the patch I start the game up somewhere during the day when the computer is idle anyways. When I reached the character select screen (first time loading that after an update gives issues for me) I close it again and am good to go in the evening when I'm ready to play.

    Through me you pass into eternal pain:
    Through me among the people lost for aye.
