I checked out the Illuminator's info. thread at the top of the page, here, but still had some questions.
So I got Seasons when it came out. Last week I noticed my disc was damaged--those parts in the center were just crumbling away! (and it won't always read the disc anymore) So I did copy everything off the disc per Illuminator's instructions onto my C drive.
But I have some questions. 1)First, I was not clear after reading those instructions on how to play from the copy? It seemed to be telling me to install the game, but it is already installed. So I wasn't sure what to do?
2)If I need to reinstall do I do it from this copy? Is that what the instructions are telling me how to do?
3) Also, how do you download your already purchased disc version of the game from Origin? I went in and found my games, but it didn't show me anyway to download them. (I'm paranoid--I want to have multiple options here).
4) Also, I'd MUCH rather have a game disc, even if I don't use it to start the game. Can I make a copy of my disc? How? (My husband is more tech savvy than me, but he said sometimes you can't because of DRM, so I should ask people who knew more about this particular game).
5) also, I did a search and saw some other people contacted EA about problems with discs, but I find EA's page so unintuitive, I've never been able to figure out how to contact them for problems. And do you think they would send me a new disc? I think it's past the 90 days, but still, the disc shouldn't really fall apart that soon!
(Oh, I do have a bypass the launcher mod, and know how to use it--it's just not my preferred way of opening the game.)
