Is the universal update included in the installer and is just for people who already installed the game, or is it a separate fix that you need?

It depends on the game but we try to include it in both the installer and as a separate patch for those who already have the game downloaded and installed so they don't have to re-download the installer. :)

for example:
Pid installer: version 2.1.0.7
Pid universal update: version 2.0.2.6
this leads to the following questions:
a) does this mean that the installer is up to date?
b) does this mean that when i upgrade an already installed game with the universal update, the game goes up to 2.0.2.6 only, which would mean, that it would NOT be up to date?
c) if the version numbers have nothing to do with the game itself, but only with the installer and universal update respectively, then does this mean that it's enough to use the installer?
d) or should i use the installer first, the universal update second?
e) in the case of d): do i risk to downgrade the game again?

We try to make the patching process as painless as possible and so the usual rule of thumb is the highest version of the installer contains the latest version of everything in a game :)
Let me know if I can answer any other questions you may have :)
