Network activity / Hi-Rez Patch Service
I saw network activity without any known downloads and I detected the "HiPatchService" in my process list which is an update service from Hi-Rez which means the following games could have you get this service.
- Smite
- Paladins
- others?

I really hate this, because I can not influence when my network gives my wife a bad ping.

Any ideas?

If I can't do something simple do plan these updates, I'll have to uninstall all games from Hi-Rez :-(

Block it with firewall?

Na, then I could just stop it or uninstall it.
I want control over the download time.
I don't want it do download when my wife is healing a raid. That is bad!

Disable the autostart service it will update everytime the launcher is opened instead.

This sounds like a possible solution. I am trying it now. Thank you!
