Actual changes

For those interested in the technical bits, here's some information on what

  • the incremental patch actually added, deleted and updated from the previous patch (ie 1.57) in column 1 , and
  • what the Superpatcher touched from each of the different originating states (next 3 columns) as I have below.

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

I've summarised the changes below. These numbers are from the report the program InstallWatch generated. So, I have no idea how accurate they actually are, but for the purpose of comparing what patch did what thing, it serves its purpose. This is for Region 1, since that is what I have. I cannot say if the Digital Download (Region 17) has the same results.

Incremental 1.63.4.024 from 1.57.62.023 Superpatcher 1.63.5.024 from 1.63.4.024 Superpatcher 1.63.5.024 from 1.57.62.023 Superpatcher 1.63.5.024 from 1.0.631.000

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. No differences again, except for the date when the patch was compiled, resulting in differing date-time-stamps of the files generated.
