Hello

I want to download the game without using Galaxy.

On the download page there are a bunch of patches along the main installer file, but the installer advertises a version 1.4.3.2, and the patches are from 1.2.2.1 up to 1.4.3.2.

If I believe those numbers, the main installer gives the game already patched, and the patches presented here are obsolete.

I just wanted to know if those are the actual version numbers, or if there is a mistake.
Thank you in advance.

Yep, the main installer is the most up-to-date version of the game - you do not need the patches. :>

The patches are for people who already downloaded the installer (or have the game installed) and just want the small update to the latest version. The numbers are indeed version numbers.

So if you're looking to back up your installer, just grab the latest installer and ignore the patches.

Hope that helps!

Slightly related, is the ".sh" file strictly for Linux users? I know what is, similar to a ".bat" file on Windows, but I know it *is possible to run a ".sh" through the Windows cmd. I thought I'd double check so I don't find out that it's necessary halfway through my run and its lack-there-of explodes my game into a million pieces. ;)

Correct, if you're on Windows, you do not need the .sh files. They're not part of the Windows installer process. The only files needed for Win are the .exe and any .bin files.
