When you say updated what do you mean exactly? Have you just installed it? The last time the game was updated was with the 1.67 patch which was released in January 2014.

Basically i hadn't updated it in ages so decided i probably should, once it updated it just came up with error whenever i clicked to play the game, however i unistalled seasons expansion pack and that seemed to work for now.

Season is a real graphics and processor hog on the game, even more so on Macs due to EA having used Cider to make TS3 Mac 'compatible'. If your Mac has integrated graphics, or dedicated graphics but with 512Mb VRAM or lower, it's really going to struggle with Seasons more than any other EP. Pets also causes considerable overload too.

 

It's always worth installing the super patch manually rather than updating through the Launcher too Standard smile
