At times, due to technical glitches, game clients tend not to function as they should. For this reason, instead of being able to pre-load the update, players are forced to download it entirely.

Given the large size of the game, it takes forever to download, leaving players frustrated. Adding to their woes, numerous users have mentioned that their download speed is the slowest they have ever seen, resulting in the client taking up to 14 hours to download a mere 500 megabytes.
