- incremental v full
One will patch all the way from 1.0 (Full) and the second will patch from the last patch ie 1.3
nothing, I think. Except the full patches the localisation files (whatever they might be), but I don't think that's important at all. Some people think it's more reliable and less prone to CTD (crash to desktop when you join a game) if you do it by full patch. Personally can't be bothered with re-installing.

You don't have to reinstall to use the full patch - just install it over the top of whatever you've got.brome wrote:

The full patch is the best option if you have to reinstall for some other reason - then you only have to patch once (or maybe twice if you've got AF/EF), instead of doing all the incrementals one-by-one - and that's really the only difference.
(oh, and what is it with people using coloured text? WTF is wrong with white?)
thanks

Nothing is wrong with white, but green is... cool... green is me... #44FF44 is me. it's a kinda identity thing... so i can pretend that people actually care about my posts

Full - Has all patches included plus updates. patches 1.0 to 1.4
Incr. - Update files only. patches from 1.3 to 1.4
Either will work, i installed 1.4 full over top of 1.3 full and it works perfact.
