Hi everyone ^^
I'm wondering how can I backup any installation files with the new streaming launcher ?
Previously when you installed WoW from nothing, you has to choose a directory where to save the big setup files for WOTLK (roughly equal to the setup of the DVD)
then every patch can be viewed in WoW installation folder, like : "WoW-3.3.0.10958-to-3.3.0.11159-enGB-patch" And , you just has to save those and you were fine to go for another installation (in case of formating for example).
Now I'm starting with "WoW-4.0.0-WOW-enGB-Installer.exe" which weigh 30MB, then it installs the necessary files for the new streaming dl procedure. So no backupable setup files left !
Just saving the WoW folder doesn't sound good to me because the setup install some files in "program files/common files" and also creates shortcut in start menu etc.
So any suggestion? thanks !
edit : Also previously you could extract the .torrent file from the patch file easily, so you could use your P2P soft and could restrict upload a little bit to avoid the blizzard downloader to saturate your upload. Now it seems this is no longer possible.
