It seems to be running fine.

You were also wrong once so i can't truly trust your judgement.

I'll wait for a Gm or Developer to answer before i make any drastic changes.

If it didn't destroy your install, then don't re-install.  You don't need me to tell you that.  ;)

Or search all the files related to PS and destroy them, sure you will have your quickbar options erased but that doesn't say you can't do it again, or maybe even save those specific files or logs.
What I would do would be to uninstall, destroy all traces of Planeshift, except the install, then reinstall it and check if it works.

I tried to update a few days ago and it went fine for me, tough that no insurance that it'll go just as swell for you

Peace

Once upon a time... a message appeared the said I should run the updater. I did, overwrote a couple of files (setting related) but nothing bad happened. I just reworked my settings and it was fine. After some time... another message appeared. This time it promised a few more updates... some .dds files from characters.zip and zoneinfo.xml. It downloads the dds files but does nothing with them and zoneinfo fails to... "update".

So basically nothing screwy happened so far. My question is... should I run the updater from time to time and see when it will really screws up my install, or should I wait for an official "GO, GO, GO!" ? Is the updater smart enough to rewrite the current files if they got tangled with or when the above mentioned indication appears, I should make a clean install and then update?

If you have the space, you could just as well make a safety copy and update the original installation as much as you want to.

If you are on Windows, there is a patch available. Please take a look inside the "Rules and Announcements" forum section for a thread made by Talad. If you are using MacOSX or Linux, you will have to wait a bit more to play.
