The Old Republic Game Client

Hey all, thought I'd post this on the DB site just in case some people missed the information Bioware has release. Earlier today they sent out an email announcing the end of game testing and advised everyone to completely uninstall The Old Republic, meaning a 20-30gb re-download and install later.

Due to some confusion, Bioware has made a statement clarifying the matter:

In preparation for the official release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, we wanted to make sure that everyone has the correct game client installed on their machine.

If you participated in our Game Testing Program before November 25th, we recommend that you uninstall the game testing client (refer to instructions below) and then download and install the launch game client. We’ll update this post with more instructions when they’re available. You will need 27GB of free space to install the launch game client. The actual size of the game client is approximately 19GB (without additional languages installed).

If you have played in our game testing program at any point from November 25th onwards, you will not need to re-install the game client, as you should already have the launch version installed.

To verify that you have the launch version installed, you can check for the "assets_swtor_main" version file in the following location on your computer: \Program Files (x86)\EA\BioWare\Star Wars – The Old Republic (assuming default installation). If you have that file present, you do not need to reinstall the game client.

WIth that being the case, if you've participate in a beta test since November 25th, you DO NOT HAVE TO UNINSTALL. You'll be able to update upon release to the playable version. If you have a version of the game pre-dating the 25th, you'll have to do a complete uninstall.

Schweet, no uninstall for me. :D
