It is not delivered through the Launcher but through Origin and is for Windows users of Origin only. There is no Launcher based or independent download/super patch available. It's the first TS3 game patch that EA has delivered this way. Those on Steam installs and those playing the Mac version of the game will not receive the new patch as they are not using Origin for Windows in the first place. It changes nothing at all about game play. The patch offers no (intended) changes to gameplay. Its only new feature is an "Expansion and Stuff Pack Picker" that allows you to choose which EPs and SPs you want to load when starting the game. While an interesting idea for starting a new game (although there has been a mod available at MTS since March 2013 that already does this), making the "wrong" choices could break an ongoing game that is already using content and worlds from some of the EP's. Of course, it doesn't work correctly because it keeps forgetting your selections from one game session to the next. Therefore, before launching your game each time, ensure the EP's and SP's you previously had selected to be played with, are indeed still selected. Permanently ties the game's startup to Origin and the Launcher, so the Launcher bypass shortcut trick no longer works.They’re essentially the same, just that Origin has slightly different features in the launcher. Broke CAW, but that has since been addressed with a new version of Patch 1.69 and an updated version of CAW itself. If you’re on 1.67 there’s no way to update to 1.69.Prevents CC Magic from being able to launch the game but it can still be used to install custom content.
