Game is being a nightmare to install on PC. Anyone have similar problems that can help?

[XIII - The Death]

When I try to install this game on steam, it requires a download when I first load it up, like anytime you require a new patch on phone.

However, it always says "download retry" after filling the meter then tells me my internet is unstable. No it isn't. Literally every other program I run is fine. Worse, whenever I try to use my browsers or anything while it's patching, it repeatedly crashes those programs instantly.

So, I restarted the game and restarted the patch without anything else running in the background and let it patch, and it STILL failed to do it properly and told me it cannot finish because my internet is unstable.

So far, this game is complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on PC simply because of how it handles basic installation. Has anyone had this problem and found a workaround? If not, I'm sticking to mobile, because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this is the worst experience I'd had trying to play any phone game on the PC.

Are you on wi-fi? I've seen people having issues downloading the ingame stuff while not using a wired connection.

I'm on ethernet/wired, not wifi.

Idk, I play pc only, never experienced this. They are rolling out UX improvments for pc anyway, maybe they will solve it. Or add more bugs, more likely

I also play on PC and had no such issue.

Do you have special firewalls or antivirus softwares running? Such things might be preventing proper completion of the process. The game also loads all that extra data in AppData (Some Unity framework thing...) that's usually on the C: drive, so the issue might be due to hard drive space there.
