Title: complete re-install in progress - Uni thinks it's up to date. Is it? Post by: cwykes on 2008 September 14, 09:31:57 I've installed base game, patched it and then added Uni. I can't install the Uni patch because Uni thinks it's up to date. I started the game and got version number 1.1.0.286.
1. Is Uni patched already? 2a. If so, how? I didn't install the patch! or 2b If not, how do I patch it? I'm completely re-installing because I reformatted the HD to re-install Windoze. This time I've partitioned the drive, so System files are on C:, RL stuff on D: and Sims have their own partition on E:. It's all running much faster, so it was worth it!

Post by: jsalemi on 2008 September 14, 14:10:01 Depends on when you acquired Uni -- after a while, the patched version does become the release version once the old CDs are sold out and EAxis makes new ones.
Title: Re: complete re-install in progress - Uni thinks it's up to date. Is it? Post by: cwykes on 2008 September 14, 19:10:24 Thanks - looks like it is patched then. I guess I got lucky when I bought it on e-bay!
I'm pleased, but surprised, to hear that EA actually sell fixed versions! Useful info to pass on! Title: Re: complete re-install in progress - Uni thinks it's up to date. Is it? Post by: Chain_Reaction on 2008 September 15, 17:34:10 Odd. My Uni EXE says version is 1.1.0.230 and I'm certain I have all the patches. ???
Title: Re: complete re-install in progress - Uni thinks it's up to date. Is it? Post by: cwykes on 2008 September 18, 05:22:20 odd that. My number is higher.... wouldn't that imply it's later?

My number is higher.... wouldn't that imply it's later? Yes it's a later build. I'm not sure why Eaxis would make the versions different. Perhaps they renumber each shipped version rather than using the latest patch version on it for whatever reason. Title: Re: complete re-install in progress - Uni thinks it's up to date. Is it? Post by: jsalemi on 2008 September 18, 17:54:18 That's probably it -- when they started shipping the patched version on CD, they just upped the number to distinguish it. Or they slipped in a minor fix or two that didn't require a full patch, or wasn't a problem for anyone with later EPs.
Title: Re: complete re-install in progress - Uni thinks it's up to date. Is it? Post by: cwykes on 2008 September 20, 06:41:48 so I might have a tweak or two in mine that wasn't in the patch? happy, skippy!
