What do YOU do when a new KSP is available?

Up until 1.0.0 I updated the game with patcher in the same location with no problems. 1.0.0 had to be installed clean in a new folder and game files manually copied over from my 0.90 install but updates since then have been in the same folder.

I usually wait a week or two until all the bugs are reported and a patch is put out. The exception was 1.0, which I downloaded right away... and paid the price.

I let Steam update Steam's copy, then copy that to a folder where I'll actually run that version from. That way I can play the previous version while waiting for mods to update and such.

I never thought about that! Thank you so much, I'm going to copy my game folder right now!!

I install a whole new copy, and keep the old one lying around. After I've finished any still-running missions in the previous version, I try out the new version.
