So lately WG has been promoting the “preloading” option for update 1.0 (or at least on the NA server). I personally don’t trust the feature on clients which cheats are being used on, so i preloaded it from my laptop which i don’t actually play tanks on.
WG states that stage 1 of preloading began on March 13th. I don’t know if by “stage” they mean “X” number of people will be able to preload for the first week, then “X” the next, etc… Or they’re breaking up the update in “X” GB this, “X” next, etc… So I’ll do my best to keep the downloadable files update to the best of my abilities.
Just drag the files from the .zip to your World_of_Tanks/updates folder, the updates will install the day of official 1.0 release. If you play on the SD client, you don’t need to move the files labeled “_hdcontent” to the updates folder.
P.S. My laptop can only preload NA server update files (idk if other regions are receiving slightly different update files or not).

↓↓ I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS WITHOUT A VPN CONNECTION! … you’ve been warned. ↓↓
I managed to snag the .torrent files if you wanted to download the files at a faster rate (filehosting can become slow at times) with a torrent client.
