Update Failed: Invalid File Found
« on: March 05, 2012, 05:48:54 PM »
Hey everyone! I am trying to update my Sims 3 game to version 1.31, but I get an "Update Failed: Invalid File Found" notice. I use mods, but they aren't in the folder right now. I tried a factory reset, but it still won't update. I didn't move anything back to the sims 3 folder after it, but still nothing. I have another thread opened about corrupted files on this site. Here's the link: http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/forum/index.php/topic,9130.0.html. It's primarily about freezing on saving, but corrupted files are a part of it. Feel free to add to that one, any help is always appreciated. Anyway, I have tried everything I can think of, except re-installing. I haven't tried it, because I've had to do it way too many times before. I am not looking forward to it. Any ideas?

You've made sure that Origin is up to date?

Yup, one of the first things I did.

Hello,

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with updating. Could you please answer the following questions?

1) Is your Origin up-to-date? A new update has been released yesterday. The latest version is 8.5.0.4554 - 144681.
2) Did you ever get a "Unable to connect to Origin/EADM" error message from your game launcher?
3) Did you try the cumulative super-patch? Download the file and extract it for it to update your game. Did it not work too?

The super patch worked. What does the error mean though? I'm just curious.
