Hi all, we are still investigating. Can those of you having the problem let me know how many GBs of Store AND 3rd party custom content you have installed?
Hi,
Below are my file sizes with and without TMP files (I have no CC installed). I also wanted to add my observations:
I have been watching my DCCache folder while installing my Store content. Every time you click the Install button, the launcher goes through its process of installing, and then the launcher appears to freeze once the items are "Done!" This is because the launcher is now going through EVERY file (including the TMP files) in the DCCache folder and updating them--they all receive new timestamps. That means that if you want to install one item that's 500 KB, your launcher will freeze for the same amount of time as if you installed 50 items that equal 200 MB. (So, don't bother installing one item at a time if you don't have to.)
Thanks for starting this thread, Crin, and thanks for looking into this, SimGuruKelly. I look forward to this issue getting resolved soon.
