Order of patches ?

[vatefsly]

Hi !
I got my Fallout Collection box a few weeks ago from Play.com (and thanks to the advice of the guys from NMA forums ) and I'll start playing soon.

So I'm wondering how I have to patch the games.
They are UK versions (and I'm using Windows XP) so I'll need the children patches.

So for Fallout 1, how do I patch ?
And Fallout 2 ?
And Tactics ?

I'm mainly wondering the right order for the patches for each game.
Thanks in advance.

Sly.

Hint: Increasing numbers.

And how about telling us what versions you have?

 

[Per]

For each game you should only apply one patch, if its number is higher than the installed version. For Fo2, the children patch can be applied before or after, it makes no difference.

Haha, thx for the increasing number advice, but I knew this trick before

the main question was for the children patch, so I guess I got my answer, thanks guys. I'll check my version number then apply the latest patch if necessary then put the children patch. Hope it's gonna work without problems.

Thx again, see ya.

Sly.

EDIT : for Fallout 1, I've checked the archive of the children patch, and it says the patch is for the 1.2 UK version. But I just can find 1.1 patches in the download section. Where do I get this 1.2 patch ?

The UK version is 1.2 from the beginning (or at least it used to be), so no need to apply a patch there. Technically you sort of downgrade to 1.1 to get children, but there's no other difference.
