So a few days ago I decided to try and update my game. It had been giving me that "There is an update available for download. Would you like to update now?" dialog every time I launched for the past few weeks but I was dismissing it because of all the mods I would have to update as well.
So I finally decided to update all my mods so I could update the game without losing any functionality so I click "yes" and an Origin progress window popped up that said "Downloading
http://www.thesims3.com/launcher/patches/.445044654 (Paused)"
I don't know why it said paused, It clearly was not paused and downloading just fine but that's not the real problem.
The real problem comes when the download completes. The Patch does not get applied and the launcher throws up another "There is an update available for download. Would you like to update now?" dialog so I clicked "yes" again thinking that maybe I'm just several patches behind and they all have to be applied sequentially and I repeat this process 4 times and wind up with 4 open Origin progress windows all naming the exact same download file "
http://www.thesims3.com/launcher/patches/.445044654"
The previous progress windows don't go away, the wording in them changes to "Unlocking
http://www.thesims3.com/launcher/patches/.445044654"
This is getting really annoying. The file is 1.5 gig in size and I've been downloading it over and over again and each time I have no idea where that data is being written too or why it's not getting applied.
Any one have any ideas?
I'm using Window Vista 64bit.
