It might be your security solution. For me Bitdefender was causing issues with downloading updates for the launcher (when using the launcher downloaded from the B&S website), and when downloading/updating the game. Disabling all of the security measures did nothing. This specific step showcased in the video was the only thing which worked for me.
This really works for me. I did the same thing you did and I'm going through downloading just fine. Thank you for this. ^_^
Please fix the new launcher cannot download the game
