Update existing game or a complete New install?

I see that a patch is incoming for the new simulator. It will be annouced today. I was in the Alpha and beta testing. I have a question to those of you who actually know something about these updates since they now are public and not in alpha or beta.

Alot of the updates during alpha and beta caused a ton of crashes CTD for me after the normal update procedure. I was then told by the devs to make a complete reinstall of the game. Delete everything and make a new fresh install. That actually solved the issues every time. For some reason my system did not like the ā€œupdate procedureā€ but was totally fine when downloading the complete game again and installing it. That is the procedure i did almost every time when they released a new alpha or beta update. Everytime i did not, i got consistent crashes all the time all over the place in-game. But the fresh install procedure is also somewhat a tedious process do perform every time.

Can it be confirmed that these issues are now gone? Or is this still an ongoing issue with the updates? I know that everyone testing the game in alpha and beta was not having these update issues i was faced with and a normal update was completely fine. But there were a lot of us having problems that required a completet new install every time.

I appreciate you bringing this up.

I still have not purchased the game post alpha and I’m thinking I should maybe completely uninstall everything from the testing before release…

Is that just placebo or an actual good idea?
