Ok, a few questions here. Not sure where I fall in all of the above, and no idea what to do to fix the CAW issue. What I have is the base game, Ambitions, and Late Night. I also, if it matters, have the free world they gave us (the rustic-type one), and the pirate one. What I have done so far to try and fix is this. I manually re-patched the game, using, yes, the same patch, at recommendation from some BOT "support tech" at EA. So, game is up to date. Then, I backed up the user data from CAW, and uninstalled it. Finally, downloaded the CAW from the EA site, supposedly the latest, and installed it. Before even bothering to restore the user data, tested to see if it would open. BEFORE all of this, it did nothing, literally, save pop the window for a brief second, then simply quit. Since these steps, I now get the message that "Your currently installed version of the game is not compatible with Create-A-World. You must reinstall Create-A-World. First, back up your world files and uninstall Create-A-World. Then, download the new version of Create-A-World, and install the new version." So, that is where I stand right now. Not sure what patch numbers I have for the various stuff, or if that matters. I did check the versions in the "default" documents, and the game states:
CompatVersion = 11
WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 8
while the CAW states:
CompatVersion = 12
WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 9
So, what is the simplest solution? Would installing the blasted Generations fix this? Sort of want to get it, but not buying till I know I can get back into CAW, because I am SO sick of their lack of support. Spent an hour holding for an "agent" on their so-called "live chat" today, to be dropped as usual. So, hoping people here can help, since you all are REAL, and I know there are some great people here! How do I check what patches I have, and what is my best solution? Assuming I didn't get Generations, what would I do to fix this? Thanks a TON for the time I know you had to have spent on this, and for your help. SO deeply appreciated.
Oh, the game version, taken off the launcher is 6.5.1.012031. No idea about the CAW, because it won't launch, but I downloaded it TODAY from the site, so whatever they have there, I should have.
The base game version is 1.24.3.012001.
World Adventures Version - 2.10.5.008001
Ambitions version - 4.7.4.010001
Late Night version - 6.5.1.011031
