Punchy has seemingly been led astray by me.
I grabbed all the files for the client and have been able to connect to the p server that I'm hosting on a VPS. In an attempt to streamline it for my guildies, I've zipped up my Cata folder and sent it to Punchy as a guinea pig. Immediately he wasn't able to login to the game, using the exact same client I am (that works) using an account that I tested and confirmed works on my client.
So we started trying to see what steps might be required to get the client working on his PC. We put the auth files into the ProgramData and tried patching again, but I blanked on the need for freshly downloaded files for patching. I'll grab those and get him to try again.
But is there a way to transport a working client to another person to play on the same server? Or do people have to do the full manual download steps each time?

once the exe and battlenet.dll file have been patched they can be used anywhere. however, you also need the patched auth modules which are localed in the programm data directory that also must be installed.

Does the patching process modify the auth modules?

Do I need to bother with the 20 or so cache files, or are they unaffected?

to be honest, I'd rather recommend you both getting a clean exe and dll file and just run the client launcher instead
