I want to install World of Warcraft on three different computers.
Is it possible to download the complete game on one machine then copy to the other PC's?
I searched the Battle Net Technical support Installations and Patches area but didn't see anything.
I also notice that they have this "Streaming Launcher" which I don't really want to have to use on all three machines. I'm limited for bandwidth and would like to download the complete game overnight then copy and install.
For example with Eve Online you can download the installer stub and the install payloads (e.g. community.eveonline.com/download/?fallback=1) directly. Is there something similar for WoW?
Best Answer
Yes,
World of Warcraft can run detached from the registry and is considered portable. You can copy the files in the World of Warcraft program directory to another computer and it will run right out of the gate.
Configuration files are also stored in the program directory (unlike modern games which store them in the user's home directory). It would be a good idea to use the launcher to "reset" World of Warcraft's video settings before launching on a new computer.
