I just bought this game on DVD, and I can't get it to work. I've tried installing with the DVD and download with the same results. I've also tried disabling my antivirus and rebooting my PC. Basically what happens is the game installs, but then it has to patch in order to run. It shows that it needs to reach 4.2GB total, and upon reaching it, it continues to download without stopping. I've also noticed that the contents of the install are installing into my downloads folder instead of "common," which is where they should be going. Lastly, I've tried opting in and out of Steam Beta with no change. I also tried running the suggested install methods on steam support (verifying game cache, running redist installers). I'm still stuck with this issue where it reaches 99% of 4.2GB and just keeps downloading. I checked the download folder where the patches are, and they keep getting overwritten by new patch files. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, please help. I also tried creating a ticket for this via Steam Support, and the link provided went to a webpage that does not exist.

Update: The game is working now. I left Steam on for a few days, deleted some of the patches, let them redownload over and over again, and now it's working. I'm not sure what fixed it.
