What's the most efficient way of updating from my current version (1.47.51) to the newest one?

Sorry if this isn't the right forum, but I'm feeling a bit lost. I haven't played the game in a few months, and the last update I installed is 1.47.51. Is the best way to get to the current version to install each patch successively until reaching the latest one, or is there an easier way? Would it be better to redownload the entire game at this point?

Welcome to the Forum,

This here is what you're looking for:

And this here (contrary to popular opinion) is what you should NEVER do.

Even if later down the road individual files become broken somehow, I don't recommend simply re-downloading/re-installing the stuff, at least not until you figured out what caused your original issue in the first place, otherwise you may end up with the same problems again.

Good luck.
