[2020] ALERT: Client uninstall recommended by WG

We have put this out several times since the initial release of this patch in test and DB.

Players are only required to maintain the one copy of the client and one PTS client, which live client you maintain is purely up to you as you only need to have ONE COPY on your hard drive, your logins will of course be maintained by you as well.

And to be quite frank @iDuckman it would be a VERY good idea to uninstall early so the client doesn't try to update multiple clients which it does not NEED to do anymore.

No.

This is purely for players that have had 2 or more clients because they play on multiple live servers. Now you only need one client to play on all servers.

That being said you still need separate log ins as the profiles themselves will be different.

This was announced over a month ago when we first announced the 0.9.9 patch.

We stated it on the EU stream and the NA stream (multiple times), there have been multiple conversations about this since we announced it on these forums as well since we announced it in the DB back on August 28th: https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/68

How you uninstall the client is up to you, whether you use windows, Steam or the WGC, I just removed the EU and Asia clients off my computer using the Uninstall option in the WGC.

-Hapa

As stated above earlier.

The only clients that need to remain on your computer are the PTS and whatever main client you use regularly (or chose to keep).

-Hapa

Okay... sure, you can keep as many clients on your computer as you would like..... But there is no real reason for almost any player to have more than one client on their computer other than the PTS.

Considering the size of the client and the size of the updates, doing so would take up a lot of computer resources.

This is a HUGE quality of life improvement for most people. For most players this will have ZERO impact as most do not play on multiple servers.

-Hapa

Your profiles are still kept on the individual servers, this purely only effects the game you play locally
