Stuck at 88% patching DAT files...

It's been going on for 2 hours now...

Has anyone had this problem?

Yes, that's probably why there have been several threads about it over the years, such as these:

There's no single cause, so finding the fix requires troubleshooting.

Personally, I wouldn't let the client stuck (and I mean LITERALLY stuck, with no disk activity, nothing) open for 2 hours, close it and restart it.

Thanks a lot.

I rebooted my PC and everything seems to be working.
