If I am not mistaken , the easiest way to get that patch and get it running, I had the same problem as well. I reinstalled the game and then got the patches via EA LINK. Their program downloaded that patch file in a matter of minutes instead of 20+ minutes.MadRussian said:
If you also have any of the expansion packs / or add on's (PRMM, ect) you will need to run the patch after each one that gets installed.
