A patch is a little software which tells the gaming software that the copy of this game is registerd to this computer so game should be run.

it is used to play illegal copies of the games on a system.

every game has a unique id which can only be installed on one computer but this patch acts as this is the 1st computer on which this game is being installed.

What is a beta update?

If the beta update is for a video game, then it is a patch for the gameplay that fixes any glitches the developers find in the game, because it is a beta testing game. If it is a beta update for a software, then you must have a new software still in development which is being patched like a video game beta would.

Does patch format a computer?

No. Patches are programs that modify existing files. So for example, a new patch for your video game might modify the main program file, and add some new files. It should not format your computer though. If such a thing occurs, it would be considered malware or a virus, but not a patch. ;)


How do you patch a game?

In general, patches are supplied from the game designers either by an in-game update (such as what happens in Guild Wars) or through a check when you pre-launch the game (such as World of Warcraft). When the game determines that patches are available, it automatically applies them to your installation. As a secondary method, these patch files are executables and can also be run on their own to patch your game. World of Warcraft stores these patch files in the PATCH folder, and running them in order from there can also patch a game. Such patch files are available generally from download sites. Be careful, because it is also possible to contract computer viruses from use of a third party site.
