>>What does RESTARTING your computer over and over have to do with anything?

RAM flush.

Agreed. Sh3 spoiled us in this regard. THe reality is a single hole = no diving.

Nah, RAM flush wouldn't make a difference. Unless they use some kind of shared memory between the game and the patcher which remains active after the game has been closed.. That would be a memory leak in itself.

It is possible that some kind of service does not come into effect until Windows is restarted after the game is installed, but I seriously doubt that as well. If an installer asks for a restart, you can generally just ignore it unless you're dealing with a Virus scanner or any other deeply embedded programs.

If the original poster is right, the devs need to overhaul their patching system, because I have no other game ever require this many restarts between patching without explicitly asking for it.
