Ugh I am confused lol. I was at patch 1.31 (I think) and then patched the game right up via the launcher as soon as I saw it was out (before they pulled it back)
Does this mean I have the leaked patch?
If so is my game broken now or what? Anything I need to do? :shock:
Same answer I gave before. Are you really at 1.32 check the version on the launcher vs the skuversion.txt in the basegame folder. Go into your game and see what you have in CAS, that would probably be the easiest. You should be able to play the game via the executable file if you can't via the launcher.

After installing the latest patch, when I attempt to play, my game loses all video and the audio loops. I have to shut down my computer every time this happens. I thought it was my video card, but it ran fine with Showtime before the patch.
Weird...
This sounds more like a bug issue. Can you validate which patch level you are at? Do you have sound everywhere else on your computer?

A quick update on how my uninstall and reinstall is going with all my games and what I have discovered.
First I have the physical copies of these:
The Sims 3 Deluxe
World Adventures
Town Life Stuff
Generations
Pets
And I have the Digital Downloads of these:
High End Loft Stuff
Late Night
Fast Lane Stuff
Showtime
Now I am on the uninstall and reinstall process number 4. By that I mean I have tried various times to completely start from scratch with my installation of all stuff and ep. No cc, no mods, no store content.
The first time I installed Deluxe and World Adventures. Loaded the game and it worked fine. Then I tried to install HELS digital, because I wanted to install them in order. Well, I downloaded HELS and it said I had to open the launcher and install the update before it would allow me to install HELS. So I did this. And it installed update 1.31. I then installed HELS and loaded the game. It crashed as soon as I loaded into a house.
I did this entire process again, and it crashed in a different house. It will load the home fine and the sims, but as soon as a sim goes to interact with anything that's when it crashes.
So I did all of that again, but I loaded the game with the update before installing HELS. It crashed.
So, now I know that 1.31 is the culprit, I went and uninstalled everything again. I have installed all my physical copies, and they run fine without the launcher update (1.31).
Now what? I still have the digitals to install, that don't seem to work with that 1.31 update. :cry: :cry: :cry: I know I should update and install the digital versions to see what happens, but this has been a very long and tedious process.
I buy all the DVDs so I don't/won't do DD of this game. I love my DVDs! That said, I don't understand why you shouldn't be able to install the above in any order regardless of how you have it, except ST will still be the last EP. I think regardless it takes you to 1.31, even if you installed ST with the disk I do believe 1.31 is on the disk.
Regarding your post about the "dfc - gorilla by Pocket Soft Inc. Copyright 2003-2009 Pocket Soft, Inc." error. I haven't seen that since 2009. A good friend had that and it was due with the nude patch, which had changed the shader file. Go to the below and see if you have the shader file in the game/bin folder for the base game. If not, do the below. I would uninstall everything, completely clean the registry, do a disk clean up and defrag, then reinstall the base game only. Don't update via the launcher using the automatic updates. Just check the version tags on the launcher vs. the skuversion.txt in the program files. After you get Delux installed, make sure you do the below and that the shader file is in the program files for the base game. Then continue installing wether DVD or DD in release order. That should get you back to 1.31 if you install Showtime last.
The file you're looking for is on your disk (the Deluxe disk). Insert your CD, and go to Computer. Navigate to the Game/Bin folder on your disk, and find Shaders_Win32. Make a copy of that file and put it in the same place in Program Files.
