It doesn't help that the launcher is not only really slow at installing, but their download servers are slow as balls (by today's standards) as well.
I have gigabit internet, and I'm averaging 75 Mbit/s on this 85.6 GB update. At that speed, theoretically it would take just under 20 minutes to download. And I have the game installed on an WD Black NVMe, which can theoretically read/write at up to 3 GB/s.
And yet, I'm 90 minutes into installing, and I'm only 30% done.
What's really aggravating is that I bought the game through Steam. Steam was supposed to solve this bullshit of having to wait for patches to download by doing it automatically in the background.
