patch-4-0-1

With all the map changes in Cata, what about the people without Cataclysm? I assume they will still be able to got there but will they be able to fly in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms?

some zones will still incorporate phasing similar to trisfal glades.

The map changes will apply to everyone starting with patch 4.0.3 (released before Cata comes out). Only people with Cata will be able to go over lvl 80, fly, play with the new races and (I guess) access the new zones and raids.

How does one do this? And is this done after the patch is installed? I have a 5770 and would like to try the Dx11 out.

This won't screw the game up at all, will it?

The game will not damage your hardware, game engines have limitations to actual hardware abilities, what is usually advertised in the game is normally very under par what the card can handle. If you are however overclocking the device without appropriate cooling you will land up with issues. By experimental, they usually mean that you might have unforeseen events within the game itself regarding their engine.

@Veroland - If current wow is to go by when i used to run Cathedral i sometimes could not see my friends until they where within the instance, which is a none phased zone.

As vaguely mentioned in Crowley's quote

Edit your wow shortcut and add -d3d11 to the end in the properties of the shortcut

IE

Target: "C:\Games\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe" -d3d11

Ah ok, ty guys :)
 
Asking again anyone have the patches in the Sandton area thx
 
according to mmo, one of the threads, after that last patch, theres another one for 'non critical updates' o.O

how do you force wow to download from the local (is it a mirror) site?

No local mirror, just people that are kind enough to upload the patches on local servers (such as the Webafrica freezone). You have to download them and paste them in the download folder of your client. This only works for the first 3 parts of the 4.0.1 patch, since the last 1.6GB does not have a stand-alone patch yet (as stated previously in this thread)
 
I started my update this morning before leaving for Gym, then after that went to work and remote desktop into my pc, noticed download is done, started the launcher to finish the other 1.6gb. At least now it is all done, went pretty fast on mweb uncapped account :)

i was talking about akamai, or whatever it is that blizz uses here. their own personal p2p site
 
so do i, its about the speed of the download though, cos a bazillion people are gonna be downloading the patch. and p2p is about that. however, local in this case would be better
 
Sup guys, a mate of mine desperately is trying to get a hold of the EU patch, if there's anyone around PTA Mountainview area, please throw a PM my way. Shot
