The game update system needs to be well updated, It's not a good idea to use windows install system, (the one that says next start and finish thing). Have it work with-in the game as it downloads the updates have it install them at the same time.

Also when you have updates, make them all update at once from a fresh install. Example of that would be if you have version 1, and the most updated one is version 5, rather then have 4 different downloads and updates just make it one. Otherwise they would think the updates are never ending and the game is bugged.

It is because of the beta. Normally the patches are not coming that fast for any game. But since we are doing everything possible to update the community almost in "real-time" - the number of patches is growing pretty fast.

If you are up to date with it, you will have update yourself everynow and then .. let's say 1 time every 1-2 days.

But, having more info while downloading is mandatory, yes I know :)

for example if i have version 4 and version 5 is newest, why should i download a patch that is 200mb big just because it got version 2,3,4 and 5 in it, while version 5 is only 20mb of it??? small updates are good. at least every 5 patches a complete patch would be good, but only for retail version. beta doesnt need that.
