Large Client Download Istaria Community Manager November 7, 2011
	What's this huge download of files i'm getting while logging into Order?!? It's the world cache! To speed up teleport and initial loading times we're patching out terrain files that in the past were downloaded as you traveled around Istaria. This should be quite a noticeable improvement when you're exploring or teleporting to new areas. We will be rolling this out to Chaos soon as well. If you'd like to postpone this download you can do so by clicking on the troubleshoot button on the launcher and then checking "disable patching".
