Install ? - New user returning to SH4

bgm1961 · 03-03-16, 02:32 PM

Hi all,

I'm a new user who used to play SH4 on my old Win XP machine many years ago. Flash forward to current day and after an absence from the game of about seven years, I've got the itch again and want to install it on my current Win 7 x64 PC. I have the original disk.

Question: There are four patches. After installing the game from the disk, do I then have to install each patch sequentially, or can I simply jump straight to patch #4 and install only that patch by itself?

IOW, Does patch #4 include all the updates and patchwork provided by the previous three patches? I wonder, as many games "back in the day" required sequential patch installation, while other games let you jump to the most recent (if you missed previous patches).

I don't know which case SH4 falls under, and don't want to waste any time or increase any chances of screwing-up the whole installation if I can simply go straight to patch #4.

Thanks!

And BTW, I look forward to hanging out here!
