To download and install games through Origin:ĭownload and install the Origin client for Mac and make sure it is up-to-date. Then install any EPs and SPs that you own, in order of release date. If you cannot update via the Launcher, download and apply the latest cumulative manual patch (called the superpatch) for Mac.Ĭheck that your game works properly. BluebellFlora's website provides a guide on how to do this:Īfter cleanly uninstalling, install the base game and patch it up to date.
These files may conflict with future installations. When you uninstall TS3 games on your Mac using the uninstaller, the game leaves behind stray files and isn't completely removed from your computer. If you were willing, I would recommend a clean uninstall and then reinstall everything via Origin, then you can be sure that you will no longer need any discs. It could be that there is a tiny scratch that is not obvious to the eye, or perhaps the game is just being temperamental.
Although you may have registered the games with Origin, unless you have completely removed the disc-requiring installation from your Mac and then downloaded them through Origin, the game will still expect a disc.
