Upon first launch, the Launcher application calculates the game files' checksums, for the purpose of keeping track of potential file corruption. This can take up to a few minutes, during which your computer's processor and memory will be under a high load. This will only happen on the first launch, and afterwards you will be able to play normally. We apologize for the inconvenience.
