Crazy Issue of Craziness

[Mirelly]

Sorry for the topic title, but words failed me in composing a concise precis of this issue.

So, before I reinstall ....

My AM required updating, so I updated. No other changes were made to the game which was working fine apart from the usual random occasional crash/lock-up.

First attempt to run game produced the EAxian warning of "unofficial content" which rang alarm bells but I forced and ignore to see what else occurred and got the entirely more helpful AM warning of a critical core mismatch. I then removed all my small amount of cc excepting AM and tried again. Same result.

The program files folders are unchanged, so I then deleted all the cache files and pulled out the saved games from the saves folder. Problem still there.

Anyone got any clever ideas to avoid a tedious reinstall?

Duh. RL or delete this topic please. I just discovered the new patch. Doh.

The newest AM requires patching, I believe.

AM will always be updated to the newest patch. Although the download page doesn't say it, the current AM in the directory is for the newest patch set. Patch all of your EPs and SPs and try again.

Yah. Not using the Launcher, I suppose I ought to follow the news on patches more keenly. Brain was still running on fumes when I was trying to fix the issue, but three cups of tea later, the camelliaceous goodness reached my dehydrated brain cells and I had a eureka moment.

Can this thread now be decently interred in RL where it belongs.  (Where we can argue the spelling of camelliaceous with MOAR fight.)

What does the Luncher have to do with it? Just patch manual. All of the windows patches have been linked to, and I'm sure someone somewhere has the address for the mac one by now.

In fact, I would like for this thread to remain alive a little longer. My problem is sort of related.
I have the latest AM and I patched manually (no internet access on my gaming PC). I have WA & AMB. The patching process seemed to work out fine, yet when I try to start the game, it tells me something about the base game version not matching the EP. It's driving me crazy, I have no idea how to fix it.

Edit:
Oh, wait, ignore me. I was being a fool.
