What is the Arc Client?

Is there a way to move the game client location to another partition?

What the tittle says. I wouldn't like to download the whole game (not that its that big in size) again, but would like to have it located in my other hard drive's partition rather than where its currently located.

I moved the game client to other drive, and I took a look in the registry there are path definitions of the game, but even I changed those values to reflect the new location of the game client, the patcher started to download still the whole game from the internet. So clearly there is some hidden setting somewhere, which holds the information where the game was installed and I would also need to change that file in order to not let the patcher redownload the whole game again.

Ideas anyone? or is it easier to let the patcher redownload the whole game?

    Look into your documents folder, there might be something there. Or in AppData. Also, did you launch the client from the folder or from the desktop shortcut?

    Didn't see any folder under documents or appdata. I did start the game from shortcut in desktop.

    I found my installation files for the game client, so I ran the installer from that directory and reinstalled the game to another partition, patched the game (downloaded 500+ mb), so case closed :) - didn't have to redownload the whole game luckily I got the installation files saved..

    You almost had it with the registry entry - as well as searching for Neverwinter, also search for Cryptic and update "InstallLocation" of this:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\Neverwinter
