The same! It asks for a un/password and shows the LE-37
I do not recall if I created on on the website. Should a new account on the site be created? Will I not loose the proogress?

The actual data downloaded is 22mb, it's applied to files that are quite large though which is why it shows that way.

Could you please contact support[support.lastepoch.com] and provide your log file[support.lastepoch.com] so we can look into this? Very sorry for the trouble.

fixed a bug and created another...I can't log in after this patch *facepalm*

Game keeps constantly crashing on chapter 9 and Monolith, I can't even finish it :(. Also when I TP to location, sometimes its only UI and black screen. Happens often if Google Chrome is on

We've rolled back 0.8.4h for now; we'll investigate the login bugs that have been reported as we did not encounter them internally. Very sorry about the inconvenience.

It's a small download, but most likely has to "unpack" the game files to patch the new stuff in and thus it has to expand 10gb or so worth of game data. Maybe I'm wrong but that is what makes sense to me.

So glad I uninstalled. Please fix.

Can we make the explanation for the patches into a sticky in the discussion board for people to refer it to?

The problem isn't with this specific case, there are lots of games that have the same patching issue. For the patch to happen, Steam has to copy the file out, handle the patch and the copy it back in. This requires disk read/write, which is why the size seems large. If you check out the "Downloading" page, you'll see that Network is at 0 whereas Disk write is happening all the time, this is the reason. There's nothing to fix, it's just how this platform works with patches.

This used to be the case with Path of Exile as well: All their data was in one giant 30 GB sized file. Because of these problems they unpacked those files into smaller pieces so now the updates actually happen considerably faster. However, they can do that because their engine is in-house written in C++ so they can alter it accordingly. I don't know the limitations of Unity so I don't know if it's possible or not to apply the same solution.

I'll copy paste this and post it every update, feel free to do so as well.
