New to PC gaming....Question about how patches work?

With Farcry, you have to install them in order.


It depends on the game, like Static said.

With BF2, you can do just the newest patch, if you get the "full" version

patches fix problems of games. just remember to install them after downloading. the first time i downloaded a patch i did not install it and did not know why nothing had changed. lol
