Why is it that Nexon actually answer these things? Where is all my space going? the extra 18g I have to download, where's the 18g I had before the patch? Don't tell me you guys actually delete the whole game. Why must I constantly wait 11 hours for maintanence and then another 5hrs just to download.

And why do you never answer back? What is going on with your launcher?

    It's not downloading the whole game, it's installing the game. This is how a lot of programs work because certain patch files affect different parts of the game's code.

    Unless the 18GB is listed under "Downloaded" and not "Installed", you've only downloaded the patch files (which if I'm not mistaken, should be about 90 MB).

    As for this taking 5 hours to complete, I would check your disk read/write speed, or see if there are any programs using the disk alongside the game.
