Re: ***fatal*** String Failed To Initialize Properly; Error Win 8.1

Hmm, I generally want to try fix issues without resorting to unofficial patches, but there's one mentioned in this thread that may help.

However it isn't an official EA one at all.

Tried to download the patch and it said 'the first decade 1.03 revision 4 has not totally installd beacuse of the following reason: Cannot install this program, a required file is missing'

Seems to be a problem every step! Thanks for your help though.
