downloaded the patch and started the game, login screen appears but with stuttering music and all actions are delayed. My machine runs cleanly apart from that, restarted it three times.
Edit: When I Alf-F4 the game the music all of a sudden is smooth but the screen freezes and the mouse cursor turms into the blue Windows-loading thingy…but nothing else happens.
Lowered all graphic settings to the minimum, no difference.
same thing for me too.
I had similar stuttering log in screen, non-reponsive. Installed Nvidia app and everything started working smoothly (just updating driver did not work for me as well)
Same here, even on full offline mode.
