Should I install the game before PTR is out?(1)Category: Technical SupportNovember-29-2013 1:18 PM PST (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I haven't played Diablo 3 for a long time and I must say, I'm pretty excited about PTR and all the changes it will bring, but I've got a question about this whole patch issue: Do I have to download and install Diablo 3 before the PTR is announced?

What I mean is, will PTR be a update that will simply be patched onto Diablo 3 once it's out, meaning the download size will be nowhere near the install package of Diablo 3, or will it be a whole different client of its own where the size will be equal (or larger) than the non-ptr version of the game?

If the former is the case, then I can safely download D3 right away and wait until the PTR is released, however, if it's the latter, that would probably mean I'll have to download the whole thing again, which is a waste for me.

Thanks in advance.

Millennium,

The PTR is a separate client so the retail game won't be needed first, unless you want to play the retail game.

Millennium,

No, you'll need to have the retail client installed at some point.
