I let it patch through the launcher, run the game; it works fine. I install WA Reloaded, manually patch, try to run the game, and get told that my expansion is not compatible with my version of the base game. What the crap? I've had this ISO since it came out. I've installed it numerous times; pretty much every time EA releases a new patch, something breaks and I have to reinstall. And now, spontaneously, it's not compatible? What the crap is going on here?

ETA: And now, apparently my region is fine, but my base game install just isn't good enough.


Are you sure the game patched properly with both games at the right version?

Tever:
That might have been what was going on. I didn't think to use the patch viewer to check. I'm going to blame Windows Update, though, since everything is normal again now.

Problem solved. Windows Update broke my computer. Everything is working again.



Very interested to know what you did -- the automatic Windows updates always break my game as well, and I'm curious to see if you figured out a simpler way to correct the problem than reinstalling everything.

Tever:
No, I did a complete system restore and reinstalled everything. Backing up the harddrive before letting Windows update would probably work. Presumably you could just roll it back and try again without losing anything.
