Re: Weird Game Version txt file
I opened this file a while back only to see what looks like a bunch of odd characters, rather than it showing me the actual patch number my game is on. A search of this forum led me to this two year old thread Weird Game Version txt file | EA Forums - 11842837 that I didn't want to necro, so I thought I would start this one as this issue has cropped up again.
I probably won't be the only one who has this issue. It doesn't interfere with the game running but it is a nuisance not to be able to actually read the patch number. It has always been a way for me to quickly check to be sure a patch installed and have the information available, if needed, for use in the bug forum. I believe this occurred on the patch released on or about 7/1/25. I had trouble getting the patch to install and when it was successful, the file changed from the patch number to the characters. I thought it might correct with future patches but that hasn't been the case.
Since I can't be sure EA is aware of this change, at least for me, I hope this draws attention to it and it can be corrected.
