Guild Wars 2

So, I’ve just started patching, from fresh, and there’s a lot to do. It may be a stupid question, but is the data from the patches saved and taking up memory on my computer, or is all the data temporarily used to make changes to the way my game plays?

Temporary data. It’s best to back up the gw2.dat file (the Guild Wars 2 folder even better), the huge file if you don’t have extensions being displayed, so if you have a problem you can recover to the last time the game worked and attempt to patch again if that’s your problem.

Thanks. I just got a new computer, and the HDD isn’t huge. I was just wondering if the game’d take up more data space than just it’s installation requirements. Thanks, again =)
