Hi there,

*Edit* As this is a very difficult and confusing topic that make some of the people uncomfortable i will just add some Clarifications.
Do not assume I am, or am not in the Beta.
Do not over complicate the question.
Do not think i am a secret agent trying to write subliminal messages within my question.

If you know the answer because you read it somewhere on a Dev post/blog, please let me know.
If you are a dev reading this please can you post either an Answer to the question, or tell us TBA'ed

And to make the mob happy the new rephrased question is:
Will Beta users need to download 1 client or 2?

Unfortunately some places on Earth still has limited download speeds and would be great if those do not have to download 2 clients.


Regards
RJ


Most Likely we will need to download only 1 Version of the Beta, for a lot of us this will be at Aug 7th if not sooner... good chance that the CBT 2 Version will be just updated as necessary all the way to OB/launch and after...

Quite rare these days to need to download separate install packages for CBT/OB/Release


Main Reason for only one install is because most games these days are around 15-32Gigs and that is a lot to keep downloading over and over, and a lot of us have Download Limits/Caps

so its better to just make 1-2Gigs or so Patches to either download separately or via the Game Updater
