Launcher is impossibly slow when hit with an update

Anytime the launcher is trying to download / install the game or an update, it is *VERY* slow compared to others. Everyone else seem to take 5 minutes or less while I take hours. I tried contacting support and gave them my logs, and instead of reading what I said and taking a look at the logs, they hit me with a copy pasta that didn't address my ticket at all.

The most glaring thing I saw in my logs was that the launcher gets stuck in a loop stating the following:
2024-11-09 16:11:23.9686|INFO|Patcher.HasPendingTasksAsync|Checking if there are pending tasks: False
2024-11-09 16:11:23.9686|INFO|Patcher.CheckDriveSpace|Checking if downloaded space (1886106) is sufficient for cached space needed (49876651)
2024-11-09 16:11:23.9686|INFO|Patcher.CheckDriveSpace|Remaining needed: 47990545, Available space: 75357069312
2024-11-09 16:11:23.9686|INFO|Patcher.CheckDriveSpace|Sufficient disk space available

If someone from the team could at least tell me this was seen and will be addressed, I would greatly appreciate this. I kind of expected better from Intrepids support.

    I'm having the same issue. Even when it is "installed," the "file operations" takes forever and won't complete; the installer/launcher just crashes before it can complete.

    i’m having similar issues. did devs ever respond?

    Been having this issue as well since day 1 of alpha2 launch. If I decide to update the game files, my computer is effectively worthless for 2-3 hours as it crawls through the install. I'm currently on hour 2 of updating for phase2 launch and file operations is only at 41%.

    as I type this, I went through the options of patching and set the limit to 6 concurrent processes, which significantly sped up the file operations, but still is causing my computer to have issues with stuttering. It was set at 3, but setting it to 6 has increased the speed at least.

    Hi all!

    I guess this has not yet been resolved and i want to push awareness again, as I experience the exact same issue. I went too patch todays mini-patch and it took over 20 minutes to complete file operations.
    Task manager is not showing much other than drive working through files (using an M.2, should be fast enough), and my PC keeps stuttering and is pretty much completely useless for the time of the update.

    it's HORRIBLY annoying and has disincentive effects on any sort of testing from my side ...

    I think I have this issue. I uninstalled the whole game because it was not patching. It is now not installing - download is fine, but File Operations is very slow. I seem to get a few percent when the launcher starts, but then it effectively stalls
