To check if it's active, open Task Manager and see if the downloader or "dotnet.exe" is using network resources.

Some regions require a different game version due to regional restrictions. Post-USSR countries need to use the SKU RUS option.

Note: Selecting the SKU RUS option is only necessary if you are using SlejmUr's downloader.
