How to find out the version of the game?

Often, the game version is a combination of several letters of the Latin layout and numbers. In order to find out, today there are only a few ways, each of which is quite easy, however, not all modern users know it.

How to find out the version of the game, every user should know, since it is almost complete information about the overall development. Also, knowing the version of the game, you can understand some of the causes of errors, if any, update it in time, download suitable working modifications from the Internet, or simply and quickly solve all kinds of problems that are directly related to the game process.

Method without entering the game

Sometimes it happens that a person simply can not go into the game, and he needs the version in order to determine the cause of the problem or to inform its support service. In that case, you should go a little different way. Find the shortcut to the game on the computer, then do not launch it, and right-click on it, then open the "Properties" window, where, and look at the version name. And it should be noted that this should not be an ordinary desktop shortcut, but the main shortcut directly in the root folder.

Directly in the game itself

Sometimes it's better to look for the version in the game itself, since it's somewhat difficult to find out the version of the game through the folder. On the desktop or through the standard "Start" menu on the computer, select the game you need, and then click on its shortcut to start. Wait until it fully starts, and you'll see the main menu. The main menu in single games is characterized by such inscriptions as "New Game", "Continue Game" or "Options". In the online games, the main menu is often not as such as you can see before entering them, so the version is indicated mainly in the window where the login and password are entered. So, look to one of the lower corners. There will often be written about the following:

• 0.111001a;
• V0.111001a;
• Version 0.111001a.

The Latin letter v, or the word version, simply means that the following numbers represent the version of the game. For example, this method is suitable, if you play witcher 2, how to find out which version of the game you do not know.

It also happens that sometimes in the corner of the game the version is not shown, but you can still see it, you just need to do it differently. We find a shortcut on the computer, we go into its properties, where we register "console 1". After that go to the game, press the "~" key. This key will display a special console in which you should write the word "version" in Latin letters. Having registered this word, press "Enter", after which the system will show you the current version of the game.

Exceptions

Sometimes it happens that in a single game the version is simply not indicated in any list, and how to find out what version of the game we simply do not know. It even happens that when you open the console directly in the game itself, you or simply do not appear the console, or the version is not shown. In this case, it most likely means that the version of this game is the first or that the developers do not plan new updates on it.

If you could not find the version of the online game, then, perhaps, it is not indicated at all by standard figures, but by certain words. For example, a similar description of versions can be found in the popular game Lineage II, where each version is designated by a certain set of words and instead of the code has a semantic name. There are a lot of such examples to date, and many people find it difficult to understand how to find out the version of the game in this case, so you should check with your support service for this game.

Versions of online games are much more important for a player, since if an old version is installed on the computer, the person not only loses various additional functions from the update, but also often can not play at all.
