Thanks and have a nice day :)

Yes, that's right :)

No, just that this title went through too many changes between versions for us to be able to provide a patch for the game.

We provide patches whenever we can :)

If we can make a patch without it breaking your game, you will always find a link to it under the main installer for the game :)

It will usually be labelled as "Patch <version number of the actual game>" :)
