SWTOR Beta client will patch to launch version

For those of you in this past weekend’s game test (read: pretty much everyone) dreading having to re-download the game client come early access and launch time, fear not: Stephen Reid has confirmed that BioWare will be patching the client, so you can preserve your bandwidth. As long as you have the most recent version of the game client installed from the Thanksgiving weekend test, you will be good to go. If you were in testing before Thanksgiving weekend, it is recommended to reinstall, but not required. The Internet will appreciate it.

If you played before this weekend we will recommend a reinstall just to clean up, but otherwise no.

I am going to make my internet suffer. Really though, one solid overnight download is all you need.

I received a patch tonight. Dont know what it was for but it did download and install new files. Do not know if this is the final patch but did do something. servers still offline though.

I preordered which gets me 5 days early supposedly. Any chance we could get in earlier?

@Sulen, Hired Gun: 5 days early is the max, and how long you get depends on when you pre-ordered. So someone that pre-ordered on day 1 will get in earlier than if you just pre-ordered today.

I blame Lynk, he didn’t make me preorder until October. :(

@mimartin: Somehow I thought you’d be smart enough to figure out you need to pre-order it on your own… looks like I was wrong about that.
