Problem with starting the game.

Hi, I have i problem and a can't solve it... I downloaded the game from this page and I launched the program. It started downloading whole the game, but because I was tired, I have to close the downloading (by cross in the right corner) and turn of the PC. Next day a start the icon on my deskop "Path of Exile" and it immediately started downloading again from the beggining. (But it didn't ask me for the spot, where to place the game.) After it was fully downloaded, i launch the game (from the Start). Firts there was no problems... It was writing "loading", but after it showed the loggin room, I couldn't do anything. I also couldn't end it by cross in the right corner (I had to end it by another way) and i couldn't login as well. It showed "downloading" or "Welcome to beta...". (The store with the game show, that It is big about 5GB, but if a open it, there is just the parts which there was after the first downloading and I don't know where the game is.)
(It was downloading about 6 hours, so a think thath the program was downloaded full.)
Please, answer me to messages. Thank you for all.
PS: Sorry for my bad english. I'm not natural english spekaing person.

I can help with part of it (although this should probably be in the "Support" forum, not "General.") When you close it and reopen it, it *looks* like it's starting from the beginning, but it is continuing your previous install and ignoring all of the things that are already downloaded...so it starts at 0% but you only have to download what is left, not everything.

Thank you very much. Every help is good. (How can I move this threat to Support?)
(And size of the store with the game is okay. I have just overlooked one file, that is 5GB big.)

I will move it to support. In regards to the download it does save your progress. It will start again from 0% but the amount needed to download in GB/MB will have lessened.

You cant move this thread. A mod has to.

Good luck.
