As the title says.  
I was going to launch the game and it’s asking me to install the game all over again.  
I have the new launcher and everything as fine a few hours ago.  
Anyone knows whats happening ?  
Not so interested in downloading 33.5GB unless strictly necessary.

I had the same problem yesterday, but when I clicked on “install” my launcher only checked if the game data was available and didn’t download anything…

There was a bigger update yesterday for me, and a launcher upgrade, but nothing special, everything worked as normal afterwards. Running on Windows 10.
