I haven’t updated since about 1.0.12 which is when I installed the game. My main question is, do I need to install every single patch from there to the newest one or do I just need to install the most recent one to have all of the content?
There have been a few graphics updates among the patches so it’s probably easier to download a new core (and if you’re on mac, move your save file over to the new core) than to apply each patch one by one.
You’ll be missing a few graphics if you just install the most recent patch, though it shouldn’t affect the actual content.
i’m on windows, if I download the new core would moving the save file over be just as easy?
You don’t need to, it automatically moves over so you don’t have to do anything to the save file.
I should’ve clarified that before, my bad. he save files on windows are stored in a different location other than the game(C:\Users\YourUserName\Saved Games\Pokemon Insurgence). You can install a new core and not bother about the save file on windows.
The only issue you may get is if you’re on windows XP, where it sometimes get stores the save files within the game folders.
