CRC Error Can Not Patch Game
 

I have been trying to patch my game since the 25th of January, it is now the 9th of February. I have not been able to play my game since then.


The following is the error I receive when attempting to patch my game:

CRC error: The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\Packages\DeltaBuild0.package doesn't match the file in the setup's .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup may be corrupted; contact your software vendor.


Then underneath I get the following options: Abort, Retry, and Ignore. I have tried all three with no luck. When I run Ignore it crashes in launching and the loading screen looks pixelated and corrupted.


I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Origin and The Sims 3 four times.

I have tried patching from the launcher with the same CRC error. I have manually patched using the super patch from this link: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/175477.page

I have done a “clean boot” and I have run the manual patch as Administrator. I have run the Sims 3 launcher as Administrator and tried to patch from the launcher.

I have added the word "old" to my Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 folder.

Everything I have done, and everything you guys have had me do has resulted in the same exact CRC error.



I have contacted EA/Origin support techs on six separate occasions. Nothing. They give me some task to do/try which will ultimately close out our chat and that's the end of it.

Someone has to know what is exactly wrong and what I need to do to fix it.

Sorry for the "you guys" I cut and pasted this from my convo with the support tech.

I'm stumped, too, but you can see if there is anything in http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php...g/Common_Errors that might help... Good luck

Crinrict also have something about CRC. Not about patching per se but still something: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/0...ancy-check.html
