“Many residents (and even city hall) live within sight and sound of active oil extraction and drilling operations. These occasionally spew oil, causing expensive clean-ups. Large parts of the developed land have been contaminated by heavy metals from the water separated from oil.”

- the launcher starts with updating itself and grabbing the most recent file manifest
- launcher then prioritizes the game engine itself before starting on the data files
- data files (textures, models, maps, etc.) are then prioritized by what the developer thinks you are most likely to encounter first (ie. starter towns, main cities, new content, etc.)
- once the game engine is ready and some certain amount of base data is downloaded, the game will be marked as playable
- most likely you will never notice anything but if you zone into an area where the data hasn’t been downloaded yet then you’ll get some lag and texture flickering as the game tries to shove that content to the front of the queue
