This is actually a question - can Odyssey be easily uninstalled from Horizons, returning Horizons to it's pre-Odyssey condition? In my case, I have just Horizons right now, and it runs fine and seems to be exempt from most of the patches and hotfixes needing to be downloaded for Odyssey. My thinking with Odyssey is that it's better to wait for a month or two until the majority of patches (some of which will be fixes to previous patches) are finished and part of the core download. But what if I were to download Odyssey today, just to try it, and then uninstall it until it's fixed? In theory this means l could resume playing Horizons like I can now, without constant hotfixes and patches being forced on me, and if my experience with other games applies to Odyssey, downloading it fresh with all the fixes "built in" would result in a more stable build than a dozen patches done "on the fly" on my system.
Has anyone taken this approach? I know plenty people have said, "I'm going back to Horizons until Odyssey is fixed," but does Odyssey continue to live on your computer, or did you remove it in order to avoid endless patch downloads and other side-effects?
A related question is, how separate is Odyssey from Horizons? For example, does it have its own keybind and graphics config file that needs to be backed up before uninstalling, or are these shared with Horizons, and if the latter, how would uninstalling Odyssey affect Horizons?
Oh, and I assume if I were to download Odyssey today, it would come pre-patched up to this point, correct?
