SO I managed to get 100%, and the play button to activate. Once my Char screen pops up another small screen above my chars pops up and states "Game is updating (at this point 0% and spooling) , Until then you are free to start a new character and do the introductory planet, if you finish before the download is complete, you can play through the other 7 starting characters and planets"
I cannot activate any of the 1 /60s I have.....
