In addition to major and automatic game updates, minor updates and fixes are also made using patches.
Installing the patch
-
Now you need to find the game directory:
For the portable version, go to the folder where you start the game using the .exe file.
For the installed version, right-click on the game shortcut (which you have on your desktop, for example) and select “Open file location” to open the game directory.
Then open the downloaded patch file
To open it, you can use the built-in Windows tool (double-click on the file and open it),
7zip,
PeaZip,
WinRar or another tool
Drag all the contents of the downloaded patch file to the root directory of the game (where the .exe file is located)
If the system asks you, select the Overwrite/Overwrite all option
The game is now patched
