My first patrol.......CTD!

[Major Johnson]

So after reading all the positive and negative posts, I decided I wanted to give the game a shot. I figure my pc is beefy enough for the game. I did the training missions in 1.1 a few weeks back with only one CTD when I accidently pressed the A key. Then 1.2 came out and the complaining started. I got so scared I decided to take a wait and see attitude. But I've been reading a lot of the positive posts and I started feeling lucky. Man! I had just gotten out of Pearl and plotted my course to Midway. I was barely outside the harbor, I hit flank speed and that was all she wrote!!

So I decided to uninstall and do a clean reinstall with both patches. I read in one of the posts that it was best to have a clean reinstall for patch 1.2. My question is, do I need to apply 1.1?? Does 1.2 have the 1.1 fixes in it?? I tried searching the forum but couldn't come up with a definitive answer to that question. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
