<p>Decided to purchase SoF upgrade using SC after playing for a few weeks.  The next day, I had to relog into the patcher since it forgot my user name, etc.  Thought it was strange, but worked and I was able to play right away.  Started a new toon in Frostfang and played for a few days til I leveled him up to 20.  The next time I went to log into the game, I noticed that there was a streaming download, and it was over 9 GB.  I thought that was strange, since game was already installed, but since I was able to play, didn't let it worry me too much.  However, the game logged me into my new toon instead of the character screen.  Also, logging into any of my existing toons, I had to copy over the UI I created on my new toon.  After looking at the patcher a little closer, I see that the game is "reinstalling" itself into a different directory than the one I initially installed it into, which was C:Games.  My question is, can I change the new patcher to use the files I installed originally and stop the second install from happening, or can I delete the first install altogether, since the patcher is streaming content as I enter new zones (well, new zones to second install).  Also, any explanation why patcher on the new install won't allow the character selection screen to come up, just sending me to the last toon logged on??</p><p>Thanks for your help on this.</p>
