    Anyone know what this means?

    It has a tick box with launch game when playable, is this like Diablo3, it has a marker when patching that allows you to
    play and patch in the background, at what % will it allow me to play has any one kept the tick box ticked, if so what % did the game launch at.
    I would hazard a guess and say it would be over the 50%.

    No, not like Diablo.

    It means if you let it DL in the background it will launch for you when it's DL'd 100% and installed 100%.

    Then it should say "Launch game when ready" which is what steam has when patching/downloading games.

    There was identical option with ACU , but the difference was it had marked the point, form witch the game could be playable .
    So what it means you can play the game even if you not have 100 % , eventually you will come up to the point where you need to have to download rest of it .
    I the ACU was about 10 % required to be able start the game.

    I would suggest waiting until it says 100%. You will be able to play before then, but letting the game download to 100% makes sure that nothing odd happens during the download.

    now you're just splitting hairs. "Ready" and "Playable" mean the same thing. I don't think that wording is confusing to most people.


    AFAIK blizzard is the only company that allows you to play their games while they're still being downloaded.
