Same, deleting and redownloading cuts down on so much memory

It seems to alleviate some of the problems associated with some of the updates. Minor bugs and things. Plus it eats up less space for the client. 

 

Platoon me so I can make you the first Wargaming Unicum! Xbox too!

I give it 10 minutes after the server downtime that someone will have the Grille 15

For me, after quite a few World of Warcraft patches that seemed to have problems, I started doing full installs just in case. Never had a problem since.

Oh wait... WG currently has 12 unicums with WGA-E tags

Agreed. I do not get some of the bugs others get after the updates. I truly believe it is because I do full install instead of just updating.

HESH on 183 loaded and waiting.

[SapFireMC]

I think I know why I can't connect to the server now. Is there any fixes in the meantime for the server connection error?

That will be me. But I intend to mostly play the Borsig.

There will be multiple someones in the the first 10 minutes. Thankfully these people exist, helps keep the cost of the game a little more palatable for the rest of us.

I hope the bug where you couldn't use global and platoon chat on the move was fixed...
