CC Pattern overwrites other patterns and spreads like a virus?!
Hey Guys!
I have a really weird problem. I've been searching for a solution everywhere and can't even seem to find anyone else with the same problem.
Or maybe I'm just not searching for the right keywords, because it's kinda hard to describe.
In my fully patched game, all EPs, but no SPs installed, I seem to have a pattern "virus".
When I started up the game again after about a year of not playing it (and without installing any new CC, and I'm pretty sure it ran just fine before), I noticed that I seemed to have a custom pattern that appeared multiple times. And in every bin.
The next time I started the game, It had spread - now there were even more copies of that pattern.
THEN I noticed that other patterns were missing, and had been replaced by that first pattern.
So I uninstalled the pattern.
The next time I started it, it was still there.
So I tried the Dashboard, then I tried taking out all CC, renaming the folder, and started a clean game.
It was still there. I gave up, put my mod folder back in and decided to live with it.
THEN, the next time, the virus had spread and replaced almost all of the CC patterns - but it was another pattern!?
So it's not even the pattern that's the problem?
The only thing left to fix this seems to be a complete reinstall of the game - but before I do that, I thought I'd try one last time: Has anyone ever heard of that problem?
Does anyone have an idea what could have caused it? Or what I could try to get rid of it?!
I mean, it's just about the weirdest glitch I've ever had...! What's wrong with that game?
