Can we use exsisting beta files, put them in the main game directory then verify the cache to reduce download time?
Preload Question
- Thread starter turbulence
- Start date
I've done this... downloading the pre-load now...
Its not looking particularly good. I was expecting the download to skip through the existing files and maybe bump me to say 40% done.. but it appears to be trudging though and downloading the lot, basically not speeding up the download.
I suspect i'm gonna simply end up with a bloated install folder with lots of beta files.. i hope that a 'verify files' once complete will delete the beta files but i fear it may not.
Final verdict is still out. 27% done.

They have answered this many times. You will need to completely redownload it. Beta files will not be transferred.

I am sure it is a newer build than the beta build we were playing. I'd just re-download the whole game.
