Thank you very much. Very well defined answer. Thank you.It depends on the type of game and the PATCH. Some patches are cumulative updates, and to install the latest version, you need to first download previous versions first. Though, STEAM and other game clients will do this automatically.
But if the patch/update contains ALL the previous fixes in the latest version, and does not rely on previous patches, then you can download the latest update, assuming it is standalone.
Thank you very much for your precised answer.I can't comment specifically for the WWE, however I would say that updates tend to build on one another. You might find some of the updates either won't work or may become problematic without the pre-requisite ones.
