latest update reported as causing 'database corruption

would a BETA update warning be a good idea and if so what would be the best way to post that?
(seems like a news post would be overkill since it's not relevant for most people)

Perhaps it would be possible to put a notice on the 'çhecking for update' dialogue box to remind people to backup before they accept the update. You do have time to cancel once the update starts running - usually, sometimes they are quite quick.
I appreciate that there are a lot of different set ups being used by players so it would be impossible to test all of them; but perhaps you could just fire the update up on a bog standard windows 7 machine and that would probably catch the corrupt database and other really big errors at least? Just a thought.
