Expansion Install + UI Backup! AGH!

[NICKYMON]

Hello everyone. Just going to post this here since I am curious to know if other people know the answers or maybe the Devs can help.

I began downloading the PC expansion/patch via the browser earlier today and out of bordom I clicked the settings button and I see there is a "save backup UI" or something along those lines. In a panic, mid download I went ahead and created a backup.

My question to the devs and community is, was it too late mid-download/patch or did I truly lose all of my UI + macros and all that other good stuff?

Thank you in advance.

Hopefully I won't log in with it all gone, come tomorrow! :O

The back-up is more for if you have to reinstall for any reason, like if you're switching to a new computer. You should be fine without having to back-up if all you're doing is updating.

You wont lose your settings from creating a backup the exact opposite infact, you now have a backup of your settings.

Ah yeah, I just wasn't sure if mid-patch it was going to save it, and also would the expansion be wiping settings as default. Thanks for replying.

Would be nice if we found out this backup works cross platform. It's such a pain setting up hotbars on both the pc and ps4.

I hope you also noticed that those config settings are where we enable directX 11 client

Agreed. I only play PC, but this stuff should really be saved server-side. Would be nice.
