tried search but couldn't find any answer to installing multiple updates to single game. xci in my case and running latest sxos 6.2 emunand

as the title suggest i've seen many different updates on some games floating around. would like to know if they all need to be installed in order or the latest one is sufficient?

for example Splatoon 2 has four different updates since its release. each one is 2gb in size give or take.

Thank you

Was concerned since i noticed all of the updates have different sizes but not consistent. for example on some games update 1.02 is 700mg while update 1.05 is only 300mb. if they were consistently larger then it would seem obvious the updates are bundled into latest.

Thanks to everyone who responded!

So how does the latest file (smaller in size), replace the older one (bigger in size)? Am I missing something here?

Always install the latest.

His question is valid though. I have seen newer updates that are of smaller size than older updates, and have always wondered that myself. Maybe they "optimize" the file size or something like that, not sure.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
