Hi, i am about to install TBC, but i wanna know if i can keep patch info to save a terrible streamyx download.

I got patch WoW-2.0.0-to-2.0.3-enUS-Win-patch in my C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Patches folder. Can i keep that somehow then reapply it after TBC is installed?

Pls., explain in laymens terms as im a lvl 60 newbie!!

thnx guys..

TBC will auto patch it in..don worry

im worried that streamyx wont let me doanload it lol

if you updated to the latest one before the burning crusade was released, you actually need not download it again... it will download the installer but the update is actually already on your PC 159mb if im not mistaken... you only have to reupdate the latest 2mb update...

This is what I did during my install:

Install TBC from the 4CDs, have your CD key ready - on the sleeve of Disk#1. The registration done in a pop-up window during install.

Once complete, run WOW from launcher like usual

On login, WOW will say "downloading update" - but actually downloading the patch download program

Once "downloading update" completes just hit the "Restart" button and WOW will check for WoW-2.0.0-to-2.0.3-enUS-Win-patch in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Patches folder. If present this patch will immediately start updating your game to 2.0.3

Back to login screen.

Login again. Again, game will say "downloading update" - actually downloading the downloader for WoW-2.0.3.6299-to-2.0.5.6320-enUS-patch.

Once "downloading update" completes, click "Restart" and WOW will start downloading the patch WoW-2.0.3.6299-to-2.0.5.6320-enUS-patch.exe. Small file (2.8Mb) but takes a while, thanks to the sheer number of users and TMnub Took me 30 mins.

Once the 2.0.5 patch is applied, you are all set. Simple and (almost) painless

Welcome to outland!

Note: Seems like the patch resets a lot of your options to defaults and wipes the /Addon folder so you will have to reset these.

I expected the update to FUBAR so I backed up the whole WOW folder at each point in a USB HD. Software development instincts But no problems at all, so all credit to Blizzard.
