As stated: Do I need to install CW, then update 1, then update 2. Or can I install CW and then immediately update 2?

If you install patch 2, it'll install over whatever version of the game you have. So you'll get everything included in patch 1.

Correct.  Update 2 includes everything you need.  Just install that you are set.

Maybe instead of patches they should just be called game updates? I think the word "patch" confuses a few people, as in most games, one patch does not include the updates from other patches. A patch is usually a fix to one issue, or an extra game feature that can be installed.

Yes, just call it something like "Update 307."

Thanks guys.

Most games state 'This patch includes all previous patches'.
It may be a good idea to add that sentence to the patch download page.

I added a note on the update page to indicate that Update 2 is all you need.

Wait, so even if you never updated to update 1, it would add the stuff if you went just to update 2?
