Once you have hit cancel download, it keeps pushing it back to cancel even after you hit download again. There are also several bugs with the launcher that will make it hang on decompressing a file sometimes forever, and once it does that, even if you kill the window, it will leave "Launcher.exe" running in processes. Better yet, you CANNOT terminate the process, windows is unable to stop it and even if you try to reboot, your computer will probably hang for about 5 minutes before it shuts down due to this process that can't be stopped.
rebooting in safe mode, running the launcher from there, and patching seems to work out. Also there is a bugged folder that hangs it too sometimes. Deleting the "Archtypes" folder in the Legends of Norath\Data folder fixes that. The launcher just recreates the folder when you patch.
Let the fun begin!!! at least they only patch like 3 times a week. I LOVE spending 30 min to get into my game now!
