Title: Many less bugs to update?
Post by: Gripen on February 28, 2006, 01:17:43 am

I notice in the forum section for those other people that there are many bugs associated with the attempt to update the old version to the new version because the updater or bittorrent believe those files are already there.

So, would it be better for Mac users to do a full clean install of the new version (when it is available)?  Then either reset their settings for the gui, or back the files for them up?

Wouldn\'t this prevent many problems and so called bugs that occur during the changeover of versions?


Also, will the updater jars provided in the stickies still work--particularly, the updater old jar--or will these also have to be downloaded new?

In general, for all OSes, the cleanest and most foolproof method is to backup your options and do a clean install from the new installer.  Most problems I\'m hearing are updating issues.  Those who just started over have had things running much better.  (many Windows users are having no problems, which is quite new ;) )

Since all the art has changed, the most efficient way to get the new version will be a complete new install, which I\'m working on :)
