I have the exact same issue. I was playing the game for several hours, logged off for the maintenance, logged back on for a session without problem. I then logged off for a few hours to get some sleep, and when I logged on again I get a full game download with Main Assets 1 indicating 16GB of data to download which took several hours. After that installed, I get another download of another 8GB. I've had to stop the launcher and hope it's fixed soon. I CANNOT afford to have my computer just patching what was supposed to be a short maintenance patch for the 18 hours it's so far taken, with at least another 8GB to download. My wife needs access to the computer for work related issues, and my kids need access for their school work. This is the second time in less than a month that this has happened with no explanation from the moderators / devs as to why this is happening, notwithstanding the fact that so far I've lost almost 3 days gameplay on my subscription to this issue. Please tell us WHY this is happening. I don't want to cancel a subscription to a game I've invested in, but the frustration is actually affecting my mental demeanour and my wife is pushing me to cancel subscription and concentrate on my other projects instead. Where is the explanation as to the reason for this issue?

I've been playing the game every day since I subscribed several weeks ago, no problems at all and I'm enjoying myself. However, since the latest patch on 14 September 2021, I keep disconnecting to the server select screen and the server select is blank, no servers listed. I have to quit the game and restart it. This has been happening roughly once an hour. An alert will pop up to say Unable to Retrieve Server List, and when I press ok on that pop up, the server select is completely blank. It's getting annoying now, does anyone else have the same problem ?
