Hi NotReal1,
Just to clarify, when you internet connection is slow, the Launcher will sometimes hang and/or other programs slow down? Are these other programs dependent on your internet connection (Chrome, Firefox, etc.)?
If you could provide your dxdaig (system specs) and follow the 10 steps in the link below to post your ‘Verbose Logs’. They will help us track down the issue.
Thanks,
TJ
