Does anyone understand as to why it takes me like 15-20 minutes to even start a .rez file, I don't understand why the patcher for this game is so garbage. I've always had problems using the patcher for this game on rez files. is there anyway you guys can make this thing more optimal?

    No serious tip to give. As far i can remember, it was always long to patch. One time your new file is on your drive (i mean downloaded), it's all about the installer code and the manner to compare files. So you have different factor wich can play in the patching lenght :
    - activity on the partition countaining your CF folder (i use a dedicated one)
    - activity of the CPU and RAM of your computer (if you are using it at 70% during the process, it don't will help to make it faster ... think about launching a big game and in same time decompress a 2GB rar archive, no matter wich hardware you have it's all about the bus capacity)
    - the level of compression and the format of countainer of the rez files (the more its compressed, the more its long to read/write inside ... think about cab , 7zip files etc... the patcher using the dirty CAB lol)

    In synthesis : close all programs eating CPU/RAM, do nothing on the same partition of CF and prey.
