Hey all of you good people


The thing is that i dont know if i need to reinstall the game to be ready for the 30th april. I patched on the 20 of april and i am not a founder etc. just a regular dude wanting to play this game badly. Does this make any sense i hope so and please come up with a good answer :).


Best regards Bech

    No, you don't need to reinstall the game. I'll find you a quote later.

    EDIT:
    If you already have an Alpha or Beta Weekend game client, just open the launcher to begin patching – no need to redownload!

    And Source

    If you have run the client lately then you should be good to go on the 30th, tho I would personally run the client on the 29th just to make sure I had the latest updates.

    Its just this one that confuses me

    "You can pre-load Neverwinter's Open Beta game client by heading to the download page on April 20, 2013. If you already have an Alpha or Beta Weekend game client, just open the launcher to begin patching – no need to redownload!" I read it as if you have Alpha or Beta client you dont need to but if you dont have a client well the you gotta reinstall. **** my english is bad :)

    Hi, before BW4, there was a thread that discussed the difference between downloading the full patch and having it patch during play (I think). I can't find the thread now and I want to be sure I have my client downloading the whole thing before launch. Can anyone help?

    If you want to download everything, and not have to download certain areas as you encounter them, open your launcher and go to Option and check the box that says "Disable on-demand patching". You will download the whole game, rather than just enough of the game to play it and download the areas as you encounter them.

    Perfect, just what I needed to know. Thanks! :)
