@texansky , @ts1depot , so you're saying that not only disks, but prior to 2012 allows installation without a demand for Origin and EA App? What about internet connection at all? Like, with the prior-to-2012 disks, could you install it without being connected to the internet? And how did you get the 1.67 patch? And then did your old Store items' and cc's package files in an old folder install ok, and without the internet? Did it need to be on an older operating system as well?
I've made peace with the EA App for now, but I'm wondering. And what was the significance of the 1.67?
