I have TW2 installed to an offline gaming machine. I have the first version released here on GOG. I'd prefer not to download the game again until the final patch is released. How do I patch my game?
The version 2.0 auto-patcher here on GOG has a filesize of less than 1 MB and thus does not seem to contain the patch files (previous patches were 50+ MB). That being the case, I would guess that the auto-patcher downloads the patched files. What is the point of the auto-patcher given that TW2 is (or is supposed to be) capable of automatic updates?
If I read the TW2 support page correctly, patching the GOG version to 1.1 requires the GOG-specific version of the patch, but all patches after 1.1 can be installed via the normal manual patches? However, these manual patches are not cumulative and must be installed in order one at a time?
So...
If I still have the GOG version of the manual 1.1 (or 1.2 or 1.3) patches, can I use the manual patches from the support site to update my game? I'll check when I go home later: Iirc, I downloaded the GOG version of 1.2 or 1.3 and should still have the files.
