HOW TO INSTALL BOTH OPEN BETA & CLOSED BETA CLIENTS

Post by Chrisax »

First, if you are in Closed Beta, Closed beta is STILL running and will keep on running. Please keep on testing!

Second, you can install both clients. Here is how to do it:

Go to your TSW account page

On the main TSW page, you'll see:
The Secret World: Download

Please click the link below to start the Download Manager
Closed Beta Download
Public Beta Weekends Download
Download the Open beta, it will ask you to save "publicbeta-setup.exe"

Save the file called "publicbeta-setup.exe" in a specific new folder on your hard disk

Launch the file, answer the few first questions about language etc.

Then it will tell you that a TSW install already exist and will ask if you want to cancel the current install.

Answer "no" (I don't want to cancel this instal = I want to continue)

:!: And then select CUSTOM install :!:

:!: :!: And then select a folder that is NOT the folder where you have the Closed beta client install :!: :!:

Do not accept the creation of a shortcut on your desktop; you will add one manually if you want (in certain conditions it might overwrite your Closed beta shortcut: it's not a real issue, you can recreate it though)

Let the patcher download the game

Launch the Open Beta client from its own directory (or create another shortcut on your desktop of course)
