If all this patch does is stop a few Zombies, DO NOT INSTALL IT. Especially if you are playing on a Mac

It has caused all kinds of problems in my game. Freezing, crashing, disappearing CC, 'Service initialisation failure' error, disappearing hairs,

Most people are having to turn off their wi-fi or at lease disconnect from the internet in order to get the game to load. 

Massive '.....up.' as per usual.

      It's always a good idea to have the newest patch, especially if you want to use the Store and the ingame features.

      Use the super patch.
