They should compensate the premium days for that.

I mean, I will be downloading that 3 days :D.
- Tenno SMGJohn on February 23, 2014 at 3:09 pm said:
  
  Or maybe, instead of buying premium you probably should have bought better internet.

      I live in a small village, 2Mb/s is the best I can have (except internet with limits – then 15GB download would be quite expensive – around 52€ for single download)

      150Mb/s ftw…I’m always downloading from their servers with 5-10 MB/s.
      And sorry if I sounded like a douchebag for some less lucky people.

        Nope…I live in a country with the cheapest television+phone+internet services in the world.
        I pay about 25 euros for everything(per month).

        25 euros – well that depends where that euro is :D

        Romania and…yeah, we kinda got good interwebs. Paying about 12 euros for 80Mb/s and TV included…I avoid landlines. It’d take about 1hour to get all 15 gbs :).

        martin4x4 on February 23, 2014 at 9:26 pm said:
        
        It all depends on where you are. In capital I got 100Mb/s ( 12.5MB/s? ) with TV and phone for little more than 20€ while bear in mind that around one third of that cost are additional TV programs and some other useless TV service I do not use. When I am at home, I live on edge of small town, where only WiFi and ADSL is an option. We have WiFi at home with around 5Mb/s coupled with FUP of 1GB and cost of this service is around 14€. Closer to the center of my hometown is also optical avaible, so there is much faster and quite cheaper internet too. And my country is far from the most prosperous in EU.

        If you reallllyyy want to show off, you can buy 400 mb/s (80 mb/s min) optical for about 29 euros a month in most of Latvian towns and cities. For me, 20-30 mb/s is enough.

  i need about 10 hours to download the usual 6 GB test server
  15 gb would last for two days -.-
  - Communist41 on February 23, 2014 at 5:46 pm said:
    
    Hmmm… 6 GB for me takes around 4 hours and 30 mins (give or take 10 mins), so meaning it would take me a good 9 hours to download it. Well, then i am hoping it isn’t 15 GB.
    - Kauris Azurai on February 24, 2014 at 8:30 pm said:
      
      Takes me an hour. so…. about three hours for me.
- oglop on February 23, 2014 at 8:47 pm said:
  
  it means I will download it in 1 hour instead of 30 mins :)

Is this the patch with the Panzer IV and StuG III splits?
- ratem1905 on February 23, 2014 at 3:16 pm said:
  
  I think it would be later :( but I would be glad if they split them in 0.9
  - UberTank01 on February 23, 2014 at 3:29 pm said:
    
    I think 9.0 is the Panzer IV/StuG III split. Since that’s the same patch with Historical Battles.
    - Kauris Azurai on February 24, 2014 at 8:35 pm said:
      
      LOTS of things in 9.0 exactly what? Who knows.
MemoFromTurner on February 23, 2014 at 3:18 pm said:

15gb – according to a calculator i just looked up, it’ll take me somewhere between 5 hours and 35 hours.

I have Virgin ISP, so it’ll take 10^10^76 years, or about the time all the matter in the universe collapses.

Any news what we’ll be in the new update?

-E10?
-KV1S split?
-Hull splits?
UberTank01 on February 23, 2014 at 3:24 pm said:

Holy crap, 15 gigs… JEEZ… that’s huge.

I think an Separate HD Client Download is needed…

But I can probably down load that quickly. Jeez, this game just got MASSIVE just with one PATCH.

Holy f**king sh-

That’s a lot, I think.

As long, as I will be able to download with full power of my Internet, it’s not a problem. :D
specialistHUN on February 23, 2014 at 3:28 pm said:

15GB which will make the game unplayebale for my PC,even if I can run Battlefield 4 smoothly on high settings with 40FPS…
- Muerte92 on February 23, 2014 at 3:48 pm said:
  
  How did you know if it will make the game unplayable if you haven’t even tried yet?
  Personally my FPS improved a lot with the 8.11 patch, and I’m hoping it will continue to improve, or at least stay as good as it is now.
  - specialistHUN on February 23, 2014 at 4:34 pm said:
    
    I read the previous news here on FTR and the system requirements will be increased,loading the HD textures,other effects+the more detailed and realistic destruction. Now a wall goes down and becomes a static object,but now they will become debris and they will be “moveable” just like turrets this will increase the use of CPU and GPU,and as the totally clever WG guys said multicore support will come later,possible that only in 2015,so the GPU will get the most load,and my GPU is the weakest in my system…so I expect at least 10FPS loss,and I have 25FPS now on medium settings.
    - martin4x4 on February 24, 2014 at 5:42 pm said:
      
      Correct me if I am wrong, but IIRC they mentioned that currently the most demand is put on one single core, while HAVOC will run on another if avaible. Since those who already run high settings most likely have at least dual core cpu, they should not be hit that hard when switching on even higher settings and also more demand will be put on GPU, which is currently not that exhausted resource-wise as it could be. I am not that sure about this since I do not remember if I read it somewhere half official or as someones brain fart, but if this is right, then we should not worry that much.
  - Uncontrollable Bowsprit on February 23, 2014 at 6:24 pm said:
    
    They’ll make even more narrow FOV – and BAM – more freakin’ FPS.
saffron-tea on February 23, 2014 at 3:31 pm said:

I just Hope that what they are doing for patch 9.0 will be worth it. If its just some HD tanks and a few extra effects that I will probably take off anyway I will be pretty annoyed.
- Takeda on February 23, 2014 at 3:33 pm said:
  
  and not everyone can use the HD graphics anyway
Takeda on February 23, 2014 at 3:32 pm said:

so if the download is 15GB, what will be the test game size after you install it be like?
- UberTank01 on February 23, 2014 at 3:45 pm said:
  
  Right now without any mods installed on the 8.11 CT it is 17.7 with this added in, it’s going to be 32.7 Gigs.
  - Muerte92 on February 23, 2014 at 3:50 pm said:
    
    You can delete the CT client after the Test Server closes. You will have to download the full CT client with every release. Also you can delete the content of the updates folder in your main WoT folder to free up some space.
  - LaterTimeLord on February 23, 2014 at 3:58 pm said:
    
    Without the update content the 0.8.11 CT was (if I remember correctly) 11.8GB’s
    
    As WG tends to add new features but not delete the old ones on CT’s its’ size will be like 28-32GB’s
    - Alex on February 23, 2014 at 4:50 pm said:
      
      Just go in the Updates folder and delete those files…it’ll bring the game to it’s normal size.
      
      Edit:Ooo…me stronk into rhymes…veri…

    - LaterTimeLord on February 23, 2014 at 5:00 pm said:
      
      They’re only bringing a “part” of it. HAVOK is actually much more capable than just animating tracks and flipping tanks around… Like the manual aiming system with enviromental factors like wind speed. *derp face*
      - TT3Az on February 23, 2014 at 7:47 pm said:

They said HD will not download on weak computers, can you choose if you want these HD bullshit and havoc or not? I much rather have better fps due to 120hz screen than eye candy, and no I dont have a weak PC because then I wouldnt have a 120Hz screen…
ChaiN on February 23, 2014 at 4:45 pm said:

Seems like they’re pushing the patches out in a heartbreak.
I’ll admit, I like that!

And can’t wait for HAVOC, sounds like a lot of fun and giggles ^^.
Should be pretty badass for Trailers aswell as desytroying walls, houses and shitz.

I dont know who thought that wot will be 32gbs.. in every new version we download mostly 6 gbs, but the game is still 11gb or so. most of the 15gb will replace old files, so it wont be more than 20 gb.

anyway what takes up that much disk space? the 500k polygon bestest kvality models?
