"The reason it is designed to do this is to ensure that your live version syncs up before the test version. You will only receive files from the test patcher that are not currently live, therefore your client may not work if both versions are not up to date "
Additionaly the game saves Test server files with the words "Test" so there is no need to re-instal the game.
Hope this helps you as it helped me.  |
And yet, because the Test server LaunchPad updates some files that don't appear to be saved in any of the *Test directories, every time I use the Launchpad; first it downloads updated content for the Live game, and then when I click on the TestServer button, (after logging in again) it downloads the data for the TestServer. Not just does a file check -- downloads the data.
Perhaps some modifications could be made to the process of switching between the two game types to ensure that while they are kept up-to-date, no unnecessary downloading is being done/repeated.
