Not sure if this belongs in bugs section

Everytime the game has a patch and I try to play Halo wars 2 on my PC the game will crash multiple times on the downloading data portion after pressing any button.
I’ve noticed this for awhile but I never really though about it until now.

Is that intentional on PC for the game to receive the patch files? Does it receive it in increments?

Thanks in advance for anyone who answers.
