  • Fixed an issue which could lead to data loss when uninstalling, reinstalling, and playing a game without restarting the client in between.

Wow, this is a big deal. I wonder how long this bug was active and how many people were affected by this issue. Such issues are extremely hard to track, if you don't don't this particular behavior is the cause. I can imagine a use case to reinstall a game without restarting the client, when trying to solve a problem in example. Its actually common to just reinstall a game.

I've done it at least twice in the last month alone.
