Jdenn8 it is Origin is selling 1.1.610 currently I fell victim to it *thinking the most reliable version would come from them not a third party seller like stream that's what streams me , usually you try to get your stuff from the maker itself and avoid 3rd party sellers like steam how odd that the least stable and accepted version comes from the maker and your telling us to go to a 3rd party I will do as you advise I am out some money on this but will request a refund. I wonder if Origin is doing this deliberate selling a unpatchable version and incompatible with major mods to push new users off SC4 and encourage more sales of Sc2013? either way intentional or careless mistake its pretty nasty to do this to new users just trying to get into SC thank you I will re buy SC off steam now

Also as frustrating as this is and a waist of money Tarkus please provide a link if you can to the correct version we all should be buying if not from orgins website then where? where do we all get this 1.1.638 ??? I am willing to start over and lose the money I spent on SC4 do a a delete and get the correct version even thou this completely puts me off orgin as a responsible company. So where do those of us who where mislead by orgin into believeing buying from them was the safest route to the most accepted version go for the nam compatible version to buy?

Tarkus while I respect you guys trying to help orgin combat pirates, it should not be at the cost of legal new users perhaps you could provide ppl like us a version that does not check checksums if we email our prof of purchase to you? this is major loss and punishes new users who without SC will not grow thank you

That said, none of us are running that version or have access to it, and we'd like to get a truly reliable answer as to just what version Origin is actually selling. If you could go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity 4, and find the file named "SimCity 4.exe" (if the folder is set up like the disc copy, it'll be in an "Apps" subfolder), right click it, go to "Properties", and under the "Details" tab, look up the version number, that would be very useful. We're getting Origin issue reports constantly, and it would be nice to truly get to the bottom of it. -Tarkus You are right that is the verion orgin is selling to general public and nam in its current state apparently wont work, hopefully a work around can be found as this sucks for new users to SC4 who are legal buyers and bought from makers website only to be told NAM wont work

1.1.610.0 in details purchased by me off simcity website this june via digital download

A Nonny Moose If you don't have the CDs, where did you get it? I have the same exact problem as the user you where responding too and I got my copy directly off maxis website digital download not CD nams installer refuses to accept that the game is the most updated verison for myself I bought rush hour two months ago off digital download off simcity website many users are running into this problem and I am starting to think NAM will not work with the latest versions os SC bought directly from orgins website as the installer no matter what you do claims you have a old version of SC and you must patch it ( I have tried every patch out there and they all same the same thing you already have the latest version but NAM refuses to accept that I hope they rewrite the installer as NAm simly wont install
