The average speed of the patcher is much worse for me after the change.

Prior to the change, it took a few seconds each time to do a quick scan.

Now, it is sometimes instant, but quite often it spends 5-10+ minutes to do a full scan, which only happened very rarely before.

I would much rather have the previous behavior back than ever have to wait that long. I can accept it for a major patch day, but for day to day logins, this is ridiculous and an insult to your customers. The wait is not necessary.

5 minutes for 3k files..:( It seems to go through the whole process each time you reboot your PC, which sucks! That doesn't help me out much as I log in once a day, and I turn off my PCs each night..

How do I bypass the patcher? Since the change, it takes literally 10-15 minutes to log in on one of my PCs - before, once I had logged in - it was almost instant - nice change!

It's like a full file check every time and if I want to play on various toons, it takes forever.

This sucks.

Same with me. At first the insta thing was working, but now it takes 5-10min every time.

I have stopped logging in as when I tried this morning it had not even started in 5 minutes. I do not want a bypass or a 3rd party program when they need to fix this. We at least need an answer from someone other than the one several days ago " I will look into this".
I am not going to wait 15 minutes or more every time I change Ywains.

Yeah, patcher is broken for me as well. Just cancelled my accounts for the time being.
