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

Incremental vs SuperPatcher

Before I get into this section, let me clarify that as of this edit,

  • there is no Superpatcher version 1.63.4 available from EA, and
  • there is no Incrementals of 1.63.5.024001_from_1.57.62.023001 nor 1.63.5.024001_from_1.62.153.024001 from EA

Here is the differential report of the 1.63 manual patch, 1.63.4 Incremental vs 1.63.5 SuperPatcher, on the left and right columns respectively as shown on the address bar of each panel. There is a difference in the patch, although it is not significant to gameplay as the files affected are thumbnails of a sort.


CAW version

Snapshot of MD5 checksum of new CAW ie 1.19.6, compared to CAW for previous patch ie 1.19.5, illustrating that the MD5 values and date-time-stamp do differ.
