Launcher needs to restart?

This launcher needing to restart to apply an update has me puzzled. I left the launcher up before I went to work so that the update could apply while I was gone - isn't that the purpose of the launcher?


And, while I'm here - I don't know what update they're applying - but wouldn't it make sense to do what they're doing today during Thursday's scheduled maintenance? Why close the servers twice, when once will do?

And shouldn't the patch notes be made available right before the update? That would at least tell us what we're waiting for.

As far as I can remember 95% of the time patch notes are posted hours after the actual patch happens. Usually up to 6 or so hours after.

As for the Launcher needing to restart I'm not too sure why's that. Maybe your launcher itself actually updated itself? Usually that sort of stuff requires it to restart. Never saw it asking for restart after a game patch.

The patch notes have been available for around a week in the Training Room section of the forums.
