"Log" and Region issues.
Claeric:
Reinstalled the game! Here's the process:
-Attempted to patch. Launcher said I was up to date.
-Downloaded manual patches. Launcher said region for base game was "7" and region for the rest was "1".
-Patch did not work for base. Or WA. Did work for HELS.
-Uninstalled entire game.
-Reinstalled Base Game (RELOADED). Updated Reloaded to Retail (Absolutely cannot find an already-updated arrrr, so stuck with this.). Changed region for Base to 2.
-Installed WA. WA tells me that there's an error updating Base Game.
-Update Base Game
-Install WA no problem.
-Install HELS no problem.
-Install Ambitions no problem.
Now I have a fully patched base game, but not-fully-patched WA, HELS, and AMB. The launcher says my game regions are 2, 2, 1, 1. Awesome! I have no idea why that is.
When I try to open the Launcher for the base game, I am, again, told I am up to date. When I try to open the launcher from the WA folder, I get "an error during startup" and am told to see "the log" (conveniently, the location of "the log" is not noted and I cannot find a log anywhere.)
Same if I open from HELS or Ambitions.
I will just reinstall but my point here is:
I would like to know if anyone has any idea what the hell is wrong with the amazing launcher and/or my stupid game regions. I searched around and found a thread about the single launcher issue on the official forums which, amazingly, was full of a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off running around and reinstalling their video drivers. No help there. Some people who reinstalled got it fixed.
So basically, what is "the log" and where is it found, and what the heck is wrong with my game regions? Is it an issue if they are different than each other? Why are they doing that?
sora:
Shouldn't they be 2, 2, 1 and 1? I don't know your region, but I have base game region 2, World Adventures was 2 also, for HELS there was only patches for region 1 and 17 (it auto with 1 for me) and 'cause my Sims 3 is installed on my other computer I can't check, but I kinda guess Ambitions only comes with region 1 patch too, as when I tried those direct links posted in other topic and replaced the region number 1 with 2 it just gave me file not found error. So my guess is that they got lazy about doing different patches for different regions and just made one version for all or something.
Moryrie:
Try this?
Claeric:
I'm already reinstalling, but if it happens again, that will probably be a godsend. It looks amazing.
"There was an error opening the launcher" this time. Tried the patcher...it's amazing. It immediately found the patches, it's downloading ALL necessary patches, proper versions, proper order, auto-install...this thing is fantastic.

For your future reference:
The log can generally be found in your Temp folder, at least when I use the manual patches, I don't see why the launcher should be too different. Type %temp% into your run command, assuming you are in windows, try to patch, you will see a new folder pop up, look in it. There will be something that says it's like disk 1 and a setup file, wait for the patch to fail and in a few seconds, those files should change to a file called an rtpatch.log. Or just do a search in your temp folders for the logs that are already there. Or get the log viewer program thing from MTS.
Why don't you simply cut out all these issues and just manually change the region in your registry?
