New Patch - Game Update for 1.32 (Patch pulled) 3/15 Patch 1.33 Available - Update 3/16

WOW thats a stuff up??
Wait if there are problems and im just starting the update should i continue??????????

Like Springfairy556, I updated to 1.32, no glitches in game EXCEPT, now I can't sign in to Simport/whatever. I just keep getting the "there is an update available, you must download it" etc. I downloaded the patch checker program and I have all the updates, it just doesn't seem to be registering it. Driving me insane. ):

Sorry guys I just got caught up in this thread and Crinrict's thread. I absolutely had to get some sleep last night. I still don't have enough information. I did notice the Cumulative Patch / Super Patch thread is now "hidden" in Technical. But there is also a new thread locked in General Discussion by SimGuruRusskii here and at the top of this forum.

After reading that I am still confused. Is it just simmers with digital download of the EP having issues? And why is it some are able to patch via the launcher and some aren't? Then there a those that previously patch that can't login but some can? Some have EP7 content/interaction/CAS stuff, etc. and some only have interactions, some have nothing.

Can you all state whether or not you patched prior to or after the time SGR stated. And also post if you used the super patcher or you patched via the launcher? Can you all reboot your computers/laptops and clear your browser history/cache/temp/cookies/java-runtime specifically in IE, to see "if" you get the option to install the patch via the launcher. There is also an Origin update (Version 8.5.0.4554 - 144681). I still don't have enough information to be honest. Everything I'm seeing posted is conflicting.

ETA: For Mac users with Showtime.
Nich did update his post for patching to 1.32 here. However, that was done on 3/9/12 prior to the time SGR's thread was created, so I don't know if there are issues with these patches or not. Though the links do work, I still recommend patching through the launcher (if possible) at the moment.

Here are some of my pictures from CAS. I don't think I have any new actions or butterfly wings in my game.

The first new skin.

The second skin.

The third skin.

A few colors from the rainbow skin.

The werewolf nose slider.

I do have pointed ear sliders from a mod, but these ones are new to me. I have to double check and see if these are new.

Edit: Yep, the ears are from the patch too.

[sshaw1],
Sorry if you already stated but how did you patch (super patch/launcher) and when? Do you have new interactions you can't use as well? Can you actually login?

ETA: It censored out your name.

I patched my game the first time 2 days ago. Norton didn't like it and ate my launcher. So I uninstalled all of my games and released my launcher from quarantine.

When I installed my games again, yesterday, I only needed to patch once. It brought me up to date. Both times I patched from my launcher.

I can log in, but I have only played a few minutes and have not noticed any new interactions yet.

that nose looks more like "joe camel" than werewolf

Is the werewolf nose slider a mod, or did it come with the patch?

It came with the patch. Same with the pointy ears.

Ok I think I get it now. Thank you sshaw1 for giving that info that triggered a light bulb to appear above my head.

We have different cases here:

- People that patched through the launcher
- People that patched with the super patch
- People that patched with Patch Downloader
- People that used Incremental Patch.

Now, some of the users that patched did a complete reinstall which means they are NOT patched at all. This probably triggered the launcher to use the super patch. I'm thinking the same would apply for the Patch Downloader and I'll go verify that with Ford in just a sec.

So

Who has the leaked patch ?

- People that used the superpatcher yesterday
- People that reinstalled their game and patched from scratch
- People that have not updated to 1.31 and patched directly to 1.32 (not sure about this one)

Who does not ?

- People that used the incremental patch
- People that patched through the launcher but were already at patch level 1.31

Does that make sense to you guys ?

I'm on a Mac, patched via the launcher basically the night it came out / before all this stuff came up, use disc copies. I'm not getting any of those pretty skins. :c Sadly. Where would I look for the other things?

I don't know if the issues with the dd are related. You can't tell from what russkkii says, I think.

I think you can't login if you are patched to 1.31 but they might have changed that during the time where no patch was available. Cause this message is clearly triggered by something on they changed on the server. They must have a something that triggers the flag to appear.

Fog Emitter for the effects and mouth and nose sliders for the werewolf sliders.

Some say there are also new interactions.

Could MC be preventing me from seeing sliders? I don't have any of the werewolf ones.

The Fog Emitter from EP2? I would if I knew the codes.

I did find a traffic light in Buydebug. Not sure if it came with 1.31, though.

Ok, really getting irritated. I've spent $50 on this game, because I just had to have the Perry version, and I can't even play it. Yesterday it worked fine when I first installed it, but then it started slowing down. Then it started crashing. Now I can barely get in the game before it just quits. It seemed uninstalling and reinstalling pets worked for about 5 minutes. I don't know about you, but I could think of a lot of things I could have done with my $50.
