Is there any advantage to doing a clean install everytime a patch comes out or just keep piling one on top the other?

Thx,

It depends on what you mean by "patch"

If you're adding code patches from me, piling the latest on should work fine.

If you mean plane pack "patches", starting clean is generally the best way to go.


Now, having said all that... You're best off if you go clean in either case. It just takes more time, but does give you a chance to clean out any old files that you don't need anymore.

Thx Michael, the question was having to do with your beta releases however must admit I didn't really treat them as seperate issues.

BTW, which UT server do you use most of the time or you just having an in house frag fest?

Cya,

We were doing an in-house deathfest a few weeks ago for the holidays. So far we haven't had time to go public and gang up on people on the net.
