<p>So I downloaded the trial, started a character on a Euro server and all was well, then a friend asked me to start a character on a US server so I switched region and after a small patch was playing just fine.</p><p>Then I switched back to a Euro server (runnyeye) and got hit with a 4.8GB download... odd I thought... I'd been playing there just fine earlier and had expected at most a similar sized patch of around 80mb as to when I switched to US. Anyway many hours later I was playing again until today, when I've just been hit by yet another 4.8GB patch when I was happily playing just fine this morning, I've changed nothing, still playing on the same server the only thing different I'd guess is GU53, is it really nearly 5GB in size?</p><p><img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Not making me want to subscribe whatsoever...</p>

<p>Yes I realise that, but a sub 100mb patch one way should not mean a near 5GB patch in the other, something is wrong with the patcher. More so when it has just decided it needs to download the whole lot again.</p>

<p>Having exact same problem.  The euro patcher will get to 99% complete with 50 sec's to go, then jump to 3 hrs to download files I already have. </p><p>Is there a way to delete then reinstall the patcher?  Wasn't having any problems prior to LU 53 :/</p>
