Install 1.3 update or not?
simfan:
Does anyone know if EA has officially recognized and acknowledged it's fuck up with patch 1.3?
Tangie:
I was over at EA today reading some of the posts about the borkiness people have been experiencing with the patch, and it was funny in a sicko kind of way. The first couple of pages, people were reporting problems and pasting their tech data, and everyone was basically being told to update their drivers. Yeah, right. But what was rather amusing was that by page 14, 15, and 16 (I skipped ahead!), people were saying things like 'I know my PC is up to date and %$#& you, EA". LOL.
BTW, people were posting the same kind of stuff that I've seen here (I haven't experienced any issues myself since I haven't patched yet and don't plan to at this time!), and apparently they have to take mods out before they post issues or their posts seem to get deleted. So yeah, it looks to me like most of these are EA issues, not AM issues, but unless they've admitted fault after I visited, no, I don't think EA has acknowledged anything.

I don't know if I should be posting this here or making a new thread but here goes...
So I'm trying to install this 1.3 patch.
I was able to update from 1.0.631 to 1.2.7 awhile back but now 1.3 doesn't work.
My error log tells me "Error: err0031 - Invalid file found" for "code_version.txt"
Inside = "description=Version: 0.DL-0.0.11195 Changelist: 625803" and it's only 58 bytes.
After getting that error every time I tried to update, I forcefully uninstalled the game with Revo Uninstaller.
Now with the game freshly installed, I am still getting the same error and I'm just at my wits end. :(
FYI: I'm using the Razor version of the game. I heard it's the same as retail, but apparently not.
Any ideas anyone?
Ignore me.
I had to back track all the way and make sure 1.2.7 installed properly. Now that is it, everything is working.
Yay. :D

Isn't it common for any large company to pretend their inadequacies don't exist? It makes me question capitalism.
I finally got my patch installed, but I'm crashing as soon as I try to open a neighborhood (even vanilla neighborhoods I haven't been screwing with). So, I went into my mods directory and used my mod troubleshooting method (remove half of your packages and run the game until you narrow it down to the culprit), but it seems the problem is there being any package in my mods directory at all. I tried reinstalling the framework monkey, but no go.

Thanks for the tip about looking for rtpatch.log in the temp directory. I was getting the invalid file error while patching, and it told me exactly which one was the problem.
For me, it was TSLHost.dll. I tried the original from the CD, but it didn't work. I'm guessing that means it needs the version that EA updated to in the 1.2.7 patch. If you're industrious you can find that version on one of the internets. :)
