Don't have uncapped? Here's how to do updates without using all that data.

Why I created this guide:[]

My Wife and I enjoy playing Warframe together but we have a small data cap per month. The Sacrifice update required 2.3GB so 4.6GB for both of us, which is a chunk out of my data plan.

So I started looking for a guide for this issue and there were none. After figuring it out I thought I would write a guide for future reference.

The Guide:[]

Heads up, not sure where the location is of normal Warframe, I use the steam version but should in essence be the same.

After the update has downloaded on the 1st PC:

1). Navigate to *\steam\steamapps\common\Warframe on both machines.

2). On the pc that doesn't have the update(2nd PC) create a folder and name it "Backup", then move the folder(Drag and drop) Cache.Windows into the backup folder.

NOTE: This is in case something goes wrong, you have a backup of your game files.

3). Copy Cache.Windows from the pc that has the update(1st PC) to the pc without it(2nd PC), at the location the previous Cache.Windows was before the move.

4). Launch Warframe on the 2nd PC, let the launcher do its update, after that it will do 1 more small update(for me the launcher was 12mb and the small update was the same size).

5). Enjoy the game :)
