1. Create a new folder on your computer. Call it something like "Wot_test" and put it in your C: drive. So you should have C:\Wot_test
2. Go to your actual World of Tanks folder, probably C:\Games\World_of_tanks.
3. Copy paste all of the files from here into your new C:\Wot_test folder
4. Download the launcher update and run it.
5. When it asks where to install to, tell it C:\Wot_test
6. After all that's done, it should load the test launcher automatically and start downloading. If it doesn't, double click on WoTLauncher.exe in your C:\Wot_test folder.
I take no responsibility if you somehow screw this up and overwrite your original game or something.
PS for the devs: Can you please not have the spinning WoT loading icon covering up your queue position for the server. Either move the queue box to the side or don't have the loading icon or make the queue box always on top within the game.
