I don’t always have a reliable internet connection, and sometimes I use a metered connection. I watch the active connections using Comodo Firewall, and the launcher will transfer anything from 9-14mb during the login process. This seems excessive. What is it doing?
I understand that it needs to show updated news articles and images, but these should be cached. If I close the launcher and start it up again, it downloads the same amount again.
