(I posted this on the blizz forum, but maybe someone here will know the answer to this)<
Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to install the PTR (for patch 2.1) without having to redownload the game??
I eagerly want to play the PTR but can't cause it is saying I need to download 10gig of data (pretty much the entire game) and I don't have that much bandwidth left until the end of the month :P...
Anyway I find it kinda rediculous to have to redownload the whole game for the equivalent of 100m (max) of changes. Why can`t it just copy the original RoS and just apply the changes to the copied version?
I've gone ahead and looked into what you're reporting here. As a side note - Super sorry I can't chat with you in-person! Looks like we got the wrong number in the ticket But right now your ticket has got my undivided attention.
So the new patch is a pretty good sized content update. The reson it is 10gigs is you are downloading a completely different client not just and new update. unfortunately there is no way to make this smaller as the data is all crucial to playing the PTR.
What I recommend is to start the download over night and it should be finished when you wake up in the morning
I hope this clears everything up for you but let us know if anything else comes up.

Thank you for your time.
I hope your adventures are half as epic as your loot!
