Greetings Firestorm!
It's time to present you the new launcher we've been working on. The Firestorm launcher has been completely rebuilt, giving you a faster, easier way to download the game and a much more intuitive way to connect to our realms.
Of course, it will receive regular updates. If you find any issues, please submit a report in the bugtracker.
This new launcher lets you download, uninstall and launch the game, read news, visit community spaces like our forum, open our support pages, and even the shop!

What's new?
- Single, full-client download: The full client is now the only download option. This prevents issues caused by downloading while playing, such as corrupted partial files, mismatched versions, or confusing install paths.
- Direct access: From the menu, you'll have direct access to Firestorm's support pages (shop support, technical support, etc.), as well as to our social media, web shop, and bugtracker.
- Link old full clients: You can link any existing Firestorm full client to the new launcher however. The minimal version is not recommended in any case.
- Fixes for old clients:
- WotLK: This expansion will now be available in multiple languages.
- Cataclysm: The issue with this client is over, and it's now available in multiple languages.
- BfA: To avoid the issue with BfA client, you need to download it with this launcher. It is now fixed.
- Shadowlands: This client is now completely fixed.
Optional for Now; Transition plan
Using the new launcher is optional at this stage, for now you can still use the legacy launcher or torrent links to download every expansion, except The War Within, which is available exclusively through the new launcher.
Switching is optional at this stage, we encourage everyone to get familiar with the new launcher now, because the torrent links and legacy launcher will no longer receive updates and will eventually disappear as they will become obsolete.
Download the new Firestorm launcher today and be ready for what's next!
I hope you're doing well. I’ve been playing Dragonflight and already have the full game and patch installed on my system. Now I’d like to start playing the new 11.0.1 patch, but when I try to install it through the Firestorm launcher, it asks me to download the entire game again.
Since I already have the previous version installed, is there a way to use those existing files to avoid downloading everything from scratch?
Thank you for your help and support.
Best regards,
Ali
