Question about patches

Are patches cumulative, or do I have to download/install each one separately? I last downloaded about a year ago...

I think you need to install the latest patch, then you install the cardart archive (usually linked in patch post), and then the cardart from all the patches since the archive was made.

no the latest patch is the only patch you need. you just copy over the old files.

Edit: I stand corrected..i guess i havent ever been that far out lol. listen to BaGate he knows. :D

Not exactly. As noted in the intro to the last patch, it is only tested being applied over Portals to Theros or later (which was last November). If you are more out of date than that, I'd recommend a clean install. Also there have been some significant changes in the way the artwork is handled (in the Jan patch). So safest thing is just to go to the installation folder and do a clean install and then patch that up.

Edit: Hardly. I just read the intro paragraphs and am cautious by nature. Throw in the fact that Korath has taken over making the builds from Gargaroz and I wouldn't bet on one patch covering a year+. But it might. :)

I grabbed Portal to Theros, and it seems to be the complete game up until that point.
