'Clean Reinstall' on *every* new version # update?

Is it proactive & conscientious to do a clean reinstall on every new version update-- whether I think I'll have problems or not; just for the peace of mind that I'll be starting off fresh out of the gate with the new items added?

Or is it overkill and by and large a waste of time and makes more work for one's self-- unless there's a specific reason it needs to be done?

What's the general group consensus on that? Thanks.

 

I'd probably say it's not worth it, unless you actually see something wrong once you've updated the game. even then, I could clear the cache first, as that will fix most issues.

 

Okay cool! Thanks for setting the record straight on that, because it's not exactly something I was looking forward to. It's not like I have 200 mods installed, but still... that a lot of squeeze for the juice.

 

Personally not a bad idea, or if it at least clears the documents folder of the game.
Having played the game so long I realized a cache clearing beforehand does make a difference, and since I had a modded postfx file, I made sure to delete that so the game makes a new one now that the graphics were updated, but not many people know their game might not work well.

When we got the ETK driver experience center, I was missing a lot of effects, including the spraying water, that needed the cache to be cleared to work. I think a lot of the reports on the discussion thread could be avoided if the game were to clear some settings beforehand. Remember it's still an Alpha, and even big games like red dead redemption 2 reset your graphic settings after an update

 

Thank you for your reply. Sorry it took me a spell to get back to you.
