How do I reload Wow when I already have it loaded?
type in the chat box /reload
Actually I want to download WOW again, and I already have it installed. Sorry I was not clear just now. How would I do this?
if you have room for another install just change the game folder to another folder click install and it will download the game. when its finished you can copy your interface. WTF and cache to the new install to copy your addons and settings
I do not know what you mean by, “have room for another install”. I have Wow, (retail) Cat, anniversary, and hardcore. All of them are loaded. I want to move them from one drive to another and I was advised to reinstall the game. (to the new drive) and then delete the old version from the overcrowded drive. Thanks for your patience with this.
Open the Battle.net desktop app
Select the tab for the game you want to install
Click Install
Under Install Location, navigate to the drive and folder you want to use
Click Start Install
Thank You so very much. Your patience is appreciated!
If you want to keep your settings for the games, go to the old install locations and copy & paste or drag & drop the WTF, Cache, and Interface folders over to the new install location.
Once you’ve got the games installed on the new drive (and folders if you want the settings) moved over remember to delete the old folders. Otherwise they will still be taking up room on your drive.
The use of the Battle.net desktop did not work. It shows the games but shows them all as installed. If I click on the tab, it opens that game. It does not give me an install option. I must be going to the wrong place. I downloaded the Desktop App, And it was where I clicked on the tab. Since I already have them loaded, it wants to open them. I can find an uninstall option, maybe that would let me click a tab and install. (it is a gamble at this point to me. Also, if I uninstall I would have to figure out another way to retrieve my cache, WTF, and interface files. ) I must be making this harder than it needs to be. I have moved copies of the original files to another drive and it seems to load and work well, but it still relies on the old version as it keeps telling the drive is full. (It is empty.) I do appreciate your help, and hope someone smarter than I can unlock this for me. Thanks in advance.
Going to the game folder and just copy the cache, WTH and interface to another folder for safekeeping.
And that is weird that’s how I’ve always installed my game. I download a new version and then delete the only once it finished.
After you copy those folders to somewhere else then you can delete the game and reinstall it
Again, I am in debt to your knowledge and time. Thanks. Here is hoping this time it will work.
