Is it safe to delete the Client.txt file in logs folder.
Mine take 1.8GB which is too big for notepad or notepad++ to read.
I also think the size of the file is the cause of me crashing some times when i log out from a character.
Edit: I renamed the Client.txt file to "Client old.txt" and every thing seems to be working fine. Also my settings remained as they were before.

Seems awfully big for that file, mine is 7kB...
Regardless, if you delete the file it will be recreated when you next start the game, just remember, your in-game settings will be reset too. Personally, I'd rename the old file, let the game recreate the new version and when you're sure everything is ok, delete the old one.
As an aside, notepad++ has a 2GB file size limit but if you wanted to edit the file you could use something like gvim or emacs. Both are free and available on Windows. If you just want to view the file you could use 'type client.txt | more' from a command line.

The client text file dose not contain the game settings (thats the config.ini file)
The client text has instance connection logs, chat logs and patch logs ALL of which are not required so you can safely delete it, the file will be recreated and the game will start filling it with logs again

I've been playing since open beta and havn't reinstalled the game since then from what i can remember.
That's probably why it's so big.
