after reading some more and trying not to RAGE pound on my keyboard,, I read about the old launcher option to edit launcher.settings to set "bitraider_disable": true, this then updates from the launcher with a larger full download. Hopefully this works otherwise I swear I will delete this game and NEVER play it again!

I have been a subscriber for years, and tried all the prior suggested bitraider fixes. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game. You have yet to reply to my in game ticket and your support of this game is HORRIBLE!
