hello everyone... i have a really big doubt... i've been trying to find it on the internet but i don't seem to find an answer anywhere.... sooo my question is.... do i really have to install everysingle update there is for the game and the expansion packs... or just like the latest one???

At one point, you did sort of have to patchpatchpatchpatch - from one version to the next patch, from that one to the next one after that, and so on. Now, they do what we sort of affectionately refer to as "monoblobs" - that is, the patches will patch you straight from the default install up to the current patch version. It does mean the patch downloads are HUGE but it's a heck of a lot easier for most users to understand, and most people nowadays are on broadband anyway.

Download a patch for each game you have, if you haven't patched it already. If there is no specific one for your region, use region 1.
