What version is wow up to?

Unread postby Yazour » 11 Nov 10, 3:14 pm

Could someone please tell me what version WoW up to? I just installed the most recent patch games.on.net has hosted (version 4.0.1.13205)
The patch was only hosted yesterday yet the game still wants another 850MB. What am I missing?

Sounds like you either pre-bought Cata as a digital download and its pre-loading, or you were weren't up to 4.0.1 (13164) before installing the one you mentioned?

WoW-x.x.x.x-4.0.0.12911-NA-Updater.rar (4.76 GB) ->

WoW-4.0.0.12911-to-4.0.1.13164enUS-patch.exe (552.73 MB) ->

WoW-4.0.1.13164-to-4.0.1.13205-enUS-patch.exe (23.47 MB).

No pre-order of Cata yet and the files suggest I have everything. See why I am confused? It's happening on all 3 of my machines too. I am getting very close to my Download quota, so I would really like to avoid the auto-downloader doing 3x850MB.

Might be some extra data included in one of those patches that wasn't included in node's version? - trick is to only download it on one machine - see where it downloads to, and then grab the files once they're done, copy them to the others, then restart the downloader - it'll pick up the completed files, and install them.

ty. I will see if I can do that. I am a little worried Wow will be a bit different across the machines as they are all on different OS's.

It wont be different. Just download it on one and then copy the whole install across to your other machines as it's probably the easiest way of doing it. I did have the same issue as you though, except it said i was missing about 6gb which sucked. At least it's only once :?

If wow is installed on all the PCs and all PCs have the same version before patching you should only need to copy the WOW\Updates folder contents over.
