I can't be 100% sure though.

Re: Worried About Optimization
Best would be to just leave your computer alone for awhile (no web surfing) and just let it focus on doing what its doing...go outside, go for a walk, find someone to torture, read a book, draw...ect.

Re: Worried About Optimization
OK, I left it alone for a bit and it's still at 0%, and I just got a new book, so that shouldn't be too bad. However, should I disable the screen saver if that's taking up CPU energy?Makoes wrote:Mine finished up after about 30min, all my downloading is done, so it doesn't have to wait till maintenance is over. I to remember reading that the first time you run the optimizer it might take longer.

Re: Worried About Optimization
just... walk away... don't look back..
you know that old Victorian saying: "A watched World of Warcraft Optimizer never optimizes."
You won't see the percent bar go up from 0% to 100%.
You'll see it go to around 3%, then it will skip to downloading the last fragments it needs.
And when it DOES go to this, if the download rate drops to 0, just close the application (yes, once it's downloading, you can safely stop it) and restart it.
By the way, for those of you who have home-made shortcuts on your desktop to start WoW, the new application is no longer "launcher.exe".
It is now "World of Warcraft Launcher.exe".

Also, the new log in screen is awesome, in my opinion. I like the music too. At moments it reminds me a little of the music from the original Guildwars.

Since I don't want to type it all over again.
Re: Worried About Optimization
My fiance told me it took him an hour to get to 1%, then the rest finished in under a minute.
For me? 2 hours at 0%, but I could hear it working, then shot to finished in about 5 minutes. I'm also not on as a strong a connection as my fiance

Re: Worried About Optimization
Of course you did, this is a major patch. Any experienced WoW player knows when Blizzard says 11am, they really mean extended to 1pm, extended to 3pm, servers finally up, servers coming down 10 minutes later for an emergency update, extended to 5pm, extended to 7pm, finally up after 7pm, but still buggy and will require emergency patch Wednesday morning at 3amQinni wrote:Now we need to wait anther 2 hours!

I saw in another blue post somewhere (too lazy to search to link) that if the optimizer isn't working or failing to "optimize" you get the amazing option of reinstalling WOW.
Hopefully that doesn't have to happen to many of us today

Re: Worried About Optimization
I basically dropped out of the beta when I just didn't have time to do it properly.
so I never really got to try out all the changes to Hunter.
I'm actually scared of logging in now.
(and I KNOW that all the addons I normally rely on will be "out of date")
BTW! Livestock, the pet/mount addon IS updated already to patch 5.

No reason to freak out. Just review stuff on Elitist Jerks as it becomes available, update addons as they become available, pick your talents and glyphs when you log in, and just hit the practice dummies until you get things down
