Install 1.3 update or not?

EA is basically blaming everything on modding.

@Wolfeyes: I actually remember reading your post (although I didn't know it was YOU at the time :)) But I'm not surprised you were admonished about it; they clearly don't like criticism, independant thinkers, or anyone who questions their authority in any way. Basically, they're ^%holes!
I read a post from someone on this board just a few minutes ago (sorry, I already forgot who!), that said they called EA and were told to not download the patch, that they knew it was flawed and that they would be creating a new patch. If that's true, I thought that was a pretty interesting admission, but that is obviously not a public acknowledgement.
Yeah... I'm Wolfstarz over there so I can see how you wouldn't have known it was me... and the fact that EAxis does not acknowledge things publicly is the very root of their problem... I don't know why they can't even take the attitude of "Hey we're all human and make mistakes from time to time..." Maybe they all have the "Perfectionist" trait... and it's not so hidden anymore... :P ::)

I think I understand EA techs: mix their experience with the average sw user (idiot AND entitled) with the bunch of BBS delusional bug reports... I can't honestly blame them too much. As a matter of fact they know that many players use mods; they don't have the slightest idea of how they're made or work, nor they know how to trust a bug report. I mean, if you were an EA programmer/tech, and a random 12 would tell you s/he "didn't touch ANYTHING at all, honest!", would you trust him/her?
This doesn't discharge them of the patch crime: the 1.3 is massively fucked up anyway; sooner or later they'll have to acknowledge that (silently) and fix the crap.
In my case I'm partly lucky: I don't experience weirdness playing TS3 patched in Windows, but in Mac OS (same machine, same executable, same files, same configuration, same saved game) is literally unplayable.
