Can't Play While Updating Post Trial.

[Radon69]

I just upgraded my game from trial version to full version, after an annoying amount of time navigating through the mess of a website to activate the game key I purchased from the SE store, I am now stuck watching an update screen just to play the same version of the game I was already playing, I'm not even going to be playing the post heavensward content for quite a while and yet I have to wait until I finish downloading it all.

Very frustrating experience all round.

Sounds like you bought the complete edition so it's literally downloading Stormblood and Shadowbringers, the expansions you paid for

It has no idea when you're going to play it, so it's just downloading the game content right now.
