I just purchased the WIT AE game on line in Feb. of this year. How do I tell if it came with all the updates, patches, etc.
Thanks,
Marshal

That's a technical question so I'm not best to answer but I'm 99% sure that yes you will... Others will indicated if I'm wrong here. Hal

Larry, that is correct, only if you want to implement those specific database changes. The vast majority of the fixes and changes are code related and take effect without restarting a game in progress.
