:/ I'm hoping someone can give me advance strategic advice. I am very grateful for your input.
I have a new mac desktop:
Processor Name:Intel Core i5; Processor Speed:3 GHz; Memory: 8GB; Graphics:Radeon Pro 555 AMD - VRAM:2048 MB.
2 days ago I successfully downloaded and installed but didn't test play as I went. So when I tried to play, of course it said nothing was compatible, it couldn't open, needed updating, the patch which took 9 years to download said it couldn't be applied to that version. So I deleted everything.
Yesterday I was able to successfully download from Origin - Base game, then re-downloaded and installed patch to 1.67 by deauthorising, and the game opened and played.
So I started downloading / installing expansion and stuff packs from Origin - in this order: WA, HELS, AMB, LN, GEN, IP. Everything appeared to go smoothly.
It crashed on launch with "unknown error".
I tried bypassing the launcher and got an initialization error.
I tried deleting just the IP expansion, but the uninstaller didn't show any options so I had to do it manually and I think I borked it, because when I tried to launch, nothing at all happened.
So TODAY (21 JAN 19) I have manually deleted everything as per guides, emptied trash, am currently re-downloading base game for the third time, preparing to patch.
Is there anything else I can do in the installation to help me not have to go through 9 hours of downloading and installing a 4th time, if this doesn't work out?
