A new SP is due within the next 5 days, it shouldn't be a huge change.

[J. M. Pescado]

Someone link the actual file, otherwise it will be awhile. Chop-chop.

Does it affect Create a World?

I was patched up to 1.50.  I had an issue with downloading 1.55 and 1.57 and getting them to actually work, so I got the Super Patcher, and am now up to 1.57. 

Now CAW won't work.  And here I was wanting to take a stab at it again.  When I launch it (or try to), it gives me the message that there's a startup failure and it tells me to use my Windows Task Manager to close it.

That never happened before I installed the super patch.

Have you tried downloading a new version of CAW to see if it works?

[MrsCrumplebottom]

I'm actually going to do that now, that did occur to me.

I just got Internet service again at my home.  So no more trotting up to the library with a flash drive in hand.  That was a bit of a pain.

EDIT:  Just downloaded it, from the EA Store. 

Now the blasted thing informs me that I need to uninstall it and install the latest version.  Um...what?  I did uninstall what I had and download the new version!    At least I THOUGHT I downloaded the latest version!

[wizard_merlin]

The latest CAW probably needs the latest patch, being 1.63.
