Do I have to install every patch or just latest one?

[jakebaker13]

My question is pretty simple. I got a few new games and I want to play one of them and I was wondering if I had to install all of the patches released for it or just the latest one that was released. I didn't know if, say, patch 1.3 would contain 1.2's fixes or if I need to download them both.

Sorry for such a stupid question by the way. I only started PC gaming about a month ago so I stil;l have some stuff to learn. I couldn't find the answer to my question on Google, obviously.

Thanks.

Depends on the game, usually it says somewhere, post the names of the games so we can help you more.

Right now I am looking at installing The STALKER series and Crysis. I should have mentioned that

Crysis --> "This is the second v1.2 patch for the critically acclaimed Crysis. Patch 1.2 can be applied to both vanilla Crysis (v1.0) and Crysis v1.1 since it will update automatically to Crysis version 1.2"

so you can just apply that patch and you're set

STALKER SoC --> you can read the info on each patch version here http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/patches/stalkershadowofchernobyl/patch.html and see what has to be done.
