Patch released.
Zazazu:
Well, the moral of the story is that when you pirate, you know you are taking a risk that you won't be able to patch or that what you have might be borked or have a virus tagged on. It happens less and less these days. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen. In any case, you can't really bitch to anyone except who you got the pirated copy from. We can't fix your lack of research.

I too, am stuck at 81% at the launcher...... T.T moved out mods, un-installed & re-installed a bajillion times, have store bought game, right version #'s etc... about to try the gasoline and matches next on this thing ...
Mr. Pescado, I blame you and your awesome mod for all o this T.T it's just too awesome to just do without, and leave the game unpatched...
^_^ Okay, just wanted to say I got it working!!! *yay* , i had tried un-installing like 8 times, never worked, thought I had cleared out mods etc, but for some reason still got hungup at the launcher part.... So, wandering back to the EA troubleshooting site expecting useless info, found their manual un-install intructions, http://easims.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/easims.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=22226 tried that, and it worked fine =)
so yeah... just wanted to mention it..... lol T.T Now I'll have fun starting over as I didnt backup any of my save data... ah well

When there's big patches, there will be a torrent released of it, usually. You just download it in the installer and turn your internet off, simple. Viruses aren't that big of a deal, if you have a half decent anti-virus.
But you're right, getting yourself a virus isn't anyone's fault but their own. They know they take a risk getting torrent'd games, and should know how to handle the consequences.

I'm specifically referring to someone in Audrey's case, who got the beta version of the game and seemingly has no option to get the full one. Our resources are vastly different. We have the option to redownload another torrent of the correct version. She can't apply the patch because she doesn't have a pre-patch version that the patching utility recognizes. She's SOL, because she didn't know the correct game version or check with her "vendor" before her purchase. Ultimately, that's her own fault.
And yeah, I have first hand knowledge of the normal way of things. I haven't payed for a game (well, an EA game) since BV due to SecuROM and how they treated their customers and continue to treat their customers. Note that I am happily playing a patched TS3.
Audrey:
Zazazu and Roflganger, thank you for explaining my situation re the bandwidth in SA.
It is prohibitively expensive in SA to download 5.5 gigs as each gig costs R100, and as I could not afford that nor to buy the retail version which was four times the price of the arr'd one, that was my only option. I actually did not know that I would be taking a risk by buying this copy, but it looks like I'm paying for it now with a game which cannot be patched. I thank you for explaining the situation and it may be my fault but financial circumstances dictated my position, so I came on here hoping that there might be a fix.
Looks like I will have to get used to the slow speed of sleeping and working. The rest of the game is running peachily and I even downloaded all the content off the EA site and it is working perfectly, so it is not all bad.
Judge not, lest ye be judged.
