Re: Origin/the sims 3 Error 12/13

Heard back from EA and everyone should still be able to bypass the launcher and origin to play. EA told me this function is working on theri computers. They feel if someone is being blocked from starting the game from TS3W file it is some kind of security block causing it. I let them know about my new computer in the mail and will update them when I do a new install.

That is simply not true.

You can only bypass the launcher if you have the old version installed. The new one won't let you.

Do let us know what happens when you get the new computer. Make sure you download the old version. You're game should not be prepatched if you start the game after downloading. It should be at 1.0. If it's at 1.42, you have the new version (still don't know if having both on your account does prevent you from downloading the old one)

I agree with you and not with EA so as soon as I get my new computer set up I will let you know

Crin and Robert new computer is here and it is a little diffrent than 8. Need to get use to 8.1. What do I need to shut down to install the sims without interfearence. This computer also came with McAfee which I will remove should I remove before install, Mc Afee is activated automatically. They did not even ask me if I wanted it!  Im getting rid of it anyway

Right out of the box 46 automatic updates and now errors in DxDiag in installing ipdates. Did call HP for help to fix. CS is clueless.

Gamming mouse update now conflicting with windows 8.1. I fix one error in my DxDiag a new one appears. Robert how are you getting 8.1 to not get any errors? I cant find fixes for some of these problems. I am not calling HP in India to help fix my problems since each time I get CS there most dont know what they are doing and my  first computer got messed up. My computer out of teh box would not update, This morning some CS rep told me not to update some things told me it would ruin my computer. Did I listen to him no. Good thing I didn't since it took care of some issues in my DxDiag.  If you have HP computer don't call HP support in India for help they will ruin your computer!

was on the phone with microsoft for 5 hours. Windows 8.1 has updating issues. We fixed that. Still have errors in my DxDiag with gaming mouse so I need to remove it. Did a clean install of the game with all security off. I used the old version of the sims base game download with new origin and I can bypass the launcher. My Launcher is messed up things grayed out just like every other install I did on windows 8. No way to tell if the patch is causing this or windows 8 and could be a video card issue too since card is new and not supported. Im on my old computer right now. I have to add security to new computer and get the game to accept my video card. Will update when I fix everything

Crin, Heard back from EA , I asked them to test what you said about old and new games prior and after 2012, bypassing the launcher and new and older vesions of Origin. They ignored my request and closed the case. I guess people who can't bypass the launcher and origin to play are on their own!
