** Official WoW Catalysm Alpha/Beta Thread **

[Ske]

My game is patching whilst I'm in work. I Don't finish until 8 pm though

 

[Mr-White]

I left mine downloading last night and woke up to it installing. Only problem is my ssd has 24gb free, patch was 5.3gb but now says i have 16gb left but it wont install as the disk runs out of space

Had everything already downloaded so am ready to go, but all realms are currently down

 

[Voltage]

the p2p downloader is tripe for me, is there definately no place to download the full 4.0.1 patch?

 

[esK`]

Servers still down though!

 

[Cat_In_Pyjamas]

Just set all settings to ultra (although the game appears to be suggesting Good on most accounts) - wonder what that's gonna run like when the realms to go live :S

 

[Zoroaster]

after the 5.29 it apparently downloads another 100mb then streams 1.5gb more when you play...

Anyone with tickets had access to the blizzcon presale? What exactly are they selling...

I've got a ticket to the virtual Blizzcon, but can't find any links to the pressale ...

On another note, those QQing about extra downloads, spare a moment of thought for me. I moved flat last week and my BE Internet router isnt scheduled to arrive until tomorrow. I have the 5.19 prepatch downloaded. Just started WoW to get that updated, and it needs another 0.1GB (5.29 in total). And I'm doing id via 3g broadband on my mobile phone. Not too bad I thought. Almost there.

...

Please don't tell me there's another 900MB to go

 

[Gee]

Try here

When I downloaded mine I did it through uTorrent, I had a file in my Cache folder in the WoW Directory, I double clicked that it opened in uTorrent and downloaded the 3 parts at wicked speeds. Worth having a look

The further 900mb isn't needed to log on and play.

 

[Cat_In_Pyjamas]

The further 900mb isn't needed to log on and play.

Or to rephrase it - you'll be able to play while downloading it (so if your internet allowance reached the cap, you're pretty much screwed).

 

[Mr-White]

Had to uninstall L4D2, once it was complete i regained 30gb of space

Another 1.5gb patch now..

Anyone know if you can pay and stream blizzcon ? If so any idea how much it will cost and the exact date/dates?

There isn't a 'full' patch, it's done in three parts

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Once downloaded place them in the 'updates' folder

Where do I find the updates folder? I've had a look in the WoW folder and it's not there, at least I can't find it.

Just create one, should end up like this: D:\Program Files (x86)\World Of Warcraft\Updates

or similar..

So does the patch include the new log in screen or nah?
