Problem w/ 4.01 and SSD's <=40 gigs, error out of space

[kate]

I'm happy to say that my WoW folder is now down to a trim 23.4 GB of space, the updates folder is symlinked to my standard HDD, and patches are all safely backed up and moved off the SSD as well. I've launched and logged in (though obviously I can't play yet) so I think the only other thing I have to do in preparation is get my addons working once things go live.

I need to do that too, Kate. Mine is at 30gigs now used after I transferred over the new files. It seems to work fine, but now we have another 2 hour delay until 4pm my time. I've been working on all my talents for all of my toons and have a window up with what I am proposing for my new builds for each toon with that talent calculator. It will take awhile just to get all that done, not to mention the changes with Glyphs.

I am doing pretty much the same thing - I have my talent specs (more or less) picked, so now I am trying to do a gut rehab on my UI. It's a total wow makeover!

[Malgor]

LOL you'll have to share it all on your blog. I'm mad because it keeps getting postponed. Now it's 5pm my time. I work the next 4 days so won't be on again until next Sunday!

Maybe they'll have all the bugs worked out by then.

The addon sites won't be as slow and bogged down, four days from now.

I wish I saw this post before I tried to DL the patch to my SSD two times (deleted some stuff second time around)

Sitting through install three on my Main drive and now I see this post!

This is true. I downloaded all the addons that I normally use earlier today. I was able to log all 5 accounts in at once, but alas the latency was so bad I was getting 1-2 FPS in Dalaran. I managed to cast a portal to IF and there it wasn't much better, but I got all 5 toons there.

I'll be logging them in one at a time to redo their talents anyway, I just didn't realize it would be so bad.

It seems Justice points were doled out for our Triumph and Frost badges. I ended up with anywhere from 2300 - 3900 on the different toons. Right now I'm stuck trying to log a single toon in and I see the patch time got changed again to an hour more, but I was in the game prior to that.

Exodar is the place to be on Doomhammer - everyone hates it and it was not laggy at all.

Not sure why you're getting another patch wait - you do have all your instances of WoW running from the same folder, I hope?

I had the same need but now patch says it can't find wow.
Any ideas on what I might have done wrong/how to fix?

Thank you,
A.

**UPDATE** - Not removing original reply because some people might have the same problem. I was getting it when it ended downloading the last 100Mb and when I tried to run the .exe from the updates folder. I ran Launcher and it looks like it's going on as it should (at least it's updanting ).

**MORE SURPRISES** - After it had installed (5.29Gb), I have a 901.0Mb download going on... Didn't know about it... What is going to happen next?

Well looks like SSD is the only way to go now. 24G onboard ram won't hold the wow folder anymore .....

Im looking into the ocz 50G PCIe SSD (540 read speed and you dont need the newest sata which is nice for my now older mother boards). Probably wait until they hit $160 or so (can get for $189 right now), before I buy six.
