Updating Issues

Seems that I am having the same issue I have every time there is an update to the game. The patch client starts, gets as far as step 5 of 6 then starts itself over and over each time at that same point. I play many 0nline games, and this is the only game I have ever had a problem of this sort with every game update. It is getting so frustrating that by the time I might manage to strip off SoTA and reload the game, I am no longer in the mood to play it.
Anyone else have this issue, and if so, how have you solved it short of doing a complete wipe and refresh of the game each time?
