Correct order installing fpkg

1.fpkg (base game)
1a.fpkg game episodes (isnt often, mostly in Telltake games)
2.update or update backport
3.dlc's (make sure you have correct update installed, some dlc's may require it ; )

if you seen few updates to download, always download lastest one, because all pewvious even if will installed be overited

all greetings to @macku55 who help me understand how its works and i hope this help someone too : )

yeah, i understand if i have already installed it, but sometimes games have few updates to download (usually on other sites, here mostly newest one), so im curious i need to download it all and install one by one overiting? or can download just last one and it have previeus updates too?

if u overwriting something that means only that old version is deleted becouse it doesnt have matter, u cant have 2, 3, 4 updates installed on PS4 in same time

oh , that i didnt know, was think its work like on pc, when installing new update some old files are overite, some not, sometimes add new files too, but now i know how it works on ps4, and if i good think in that situation when are few updates can just download last one and will have all previous : ) ty!

What would I do in this situation? outside of the full game, patch, and the first 3 dlc, idk what any of this bronze gold and custom stuff relates to

@macku55

 

[Arczi]

u have correct order
1 base
2 update
3 dlc's

also it can be like this

1 base
2 - all rest

just never first dlcs without base

Did it in other direction... DLC then UPDATE then BASE... still works fine (?)

 

[kikka]

If someone ask; it depends...

I realized that SOME games are fine with any order you like to...
But some other... eehh... try and have fun with reinstalling +40GB again...

My naming scheme; [GAME/BASE v...] and [UPDATE v...] and last just DLC because special chars are superior to alphanumeric

 

[jamesbond]

With some games its what you install rather than the order, Id advise base then update then DLC. However some games require you to install all DLC or the game wont run. This includes multi player dlc, although you cant use them with the likes of COD Cold War on a JB console. Ive found with this game the order is less important than the files installed.

It doesn't matter what order you install - dlc, game and updates all go into separate folders so it's not like they are overwriting each other. If you are installing a patch you only need to install the latest patch and you can ignore any previous patch that came before it.
