After the patch, run the updater to get even more of some latest updates :)

One thing, though: make sure that you have no PlaneShift-related processes running in the background when you are trying to patch. If some files are in use, you won't be able to overwrite them with the newer versions. If you have any doubt as to if you still have PS running somehow somewhere, best to be safe and reboot, then apply the patch as the first thing you do.

Only Windows has the crash dumpper, so there are no numbers for other OSes.

well another (almost) related lil bit ...I seem to have no buttons on my info tab in-game (the attack buttons) ...and the client continues running after I shut it down (750k ...ouch)

neither of these are particularly pressing, but I am curious

Aye, the client will sometimes remain running in your processes, and you'll have to do a manual process-kill to completely get rid of it. It's guaranteed to happen this way if you get a runtime error while exiting the game, I believe.

Concerning the missing buttons: well... run the updater? :}

You can always uninstall, reinstall, patch, and update again :P
