[[File:.png|640px|thumb|Click to view at full resolution]]Here is the differential report of the 1.63 manual patch, Incremental vs SuperPatcher, on the left and right columns respectively as shown on the address bar of each panel.

+The versions are not a misnumbering, there ''are'' actual changes in 1.63.5 from 1.63.4.
