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 1.66.2.024 from 1.63.x.024 Superpatcher 1.66.2.024 from 1.63.x.024
  • 17 files added
  • 0 files deleted
  • 191 files updated
  • 17 files added
  • 0 files deleted
  • 643 files updated

Incremental vs SuperPatcher

When is there ever a patch that is smooth sailing? No incremental patch 1.66.2.024001_from_1.63.5.024001. What is available though is from_1.65.2, which was never published.

But the Incremental from_1.63.4 works just fine for from_1.63.5. So you can still update using the Incremental patch. There're no differences to the results, whatever 1.63 patch you started from.

If your games were on any patch older than 1.63.x, you have to use the SuperPatcher, of course.

There are also no differences this time between the Incremental and Superpatcher (see image on the right). Apart from all those extra language files, which is expected.


CAW version

There's also no need to update CAW this round. CAW version 1.19.6 is still compatible with patch 1.66, as both are still on the same code level of 024. At least, based on the worldtool.exe I downloaded today; in the /downloads/caw folder as shown in image.
