Hello. I've been able to continuously play DDO with no issues for a while now, and I log in every single day at -least- for Daily Dice if nothing else, but the recent update 60 has a problem. It goes as such:
The launcher launches,
It does the "applying forward iterations"
It then begins to -attempt- to download the actual 1000+ files but...
It stalls. And not in any way consistently, either. In fact, no two attempts have ever been exactly the same. For example...
Sometimes, it will download some X% of file 1, then stall for five seconds, then download a little more %, then stall again, this time for good...
Sometimes it will download straight to file 2, then stall there...
Sometimes on file 3...sometimes on file 4...
Sometimes it stalls on one file, then stutters its way through and -does- succeed in downloading that current file that it began stalling on, but then stalls for good on the next one.
One time, it went up as high as file 6.
And even when it does stall on the same file as one before, it never stalls in the exact same percentage, and the amount of stuttering before stalling for good is variable every time too.
As an exacerbating problem, the files that do download, don't stay downloaded. Every single time, the "...out of XXXX files" number remains exactly the same.
A couple years ago, I once had a similar problem with the MMO game, Guild Wars 2, when I first started playing that one. Every now and then after I began playing, when they would release a major update above a certain size rather than some small quick patch, I experienced a very similar stalling problem. It would start downloading, and then (because the GW2 launcher actually does show download speed), it shows my normal download speed rapidly tick downward from the normal rate down to double- or even single-digit kilobytes or bytes per second. The solution for -that- one was pretty jank; I had to go into my computer's own networking settings and had to add in a temporary manual rule that whenever attempting to connect to the patch server, that I would redirect and instead download from an alternative different patch server, and then it worked fine. Haven't experienced that problem with GW2 the after those first few times a couple years ago however.
So now update 60 for DDO is doing something awfully similar, though I don't know if it is the same, and I don't know if the solution is the same. Does anyone have any ideas?
I have not yet attempted to uninstall and reinstall DDO yet (which did not work for the similar GW2 issue back then), as I'd like to try other options first, though I can give that a shot if trying at least one other thing first doesn't work, though I don't anticipate results if I do.

I think its more convenience if we can directly download updated game files from some cloud disk.
